BLOGS BY YEAR
We've been creating our idiosyncratic monthly blogs on Power BI updates since November 2016, and also deliver online and classroom Power BI courses.

Power BI Desktop Update for August 2020
So this is a difficult blog to write. Officially there was an update this month, but unless you're basing your Power BI models on Analysis Services Multi-Dimensional models the only two interesting new features were both in preview, as listed below.
| Preview feature | Notes |
|---|---|
| Lassoing data points | You will be able to lasso data points in a visual to select them easily (provided you have a rectangular lasso, that is). |
| Perspectives | You will be able to set up different perspectives on your visuals, to make using Power BI easier to manage. |
However since both of these features are in preview, and I have a policy of not blogging on new features until they see the light of day ... here endeth this blog!
