Power BI

This month the theme seems to be the product formally known as Common Data Service. Thankfully they didn’t change its name to a symbol, instead, they now call it Dataverse

This month there was lots of fun with Flow and Power BI. I feel like my favorite child, Power Apps, was slacking. O’well. You know what is really crazy? I had a big glass of positivity while I was writing this so everything is so exciting. ? I never know what is going to happen…

With Ignite being this month there is a lot going on but let us be clear. The most important announcement this month is Project Oakdale. That is the code name of the Power Platform directly integrating with Microsoft Teams and it is a major game-changer. I will try to cover more than just that but…

Ignite is right around the corner but August had a few PowerApp updates that you should know about.

Teams is now the center of the SharePoint world and it is working to become the center of the Power Platform universe.

The month of June brought with it many updates to the Power Platform, here’s a breakdown of what is new.

Teams, Teams, and more Teams – Sorry kids, but this month I feel like the whole update is about Teams. Why? Because all of a sudden half the world is work from home and it turns out collaboration platforms like Teams are pretty helpful.

In a rather odd decision, Microsoft is launching self-service purchases for Office 365 tenant users who want to use the Power Platform without consulting an administrator. Another troubling sign is the way that the MailItemsAccessed audit event has been packaged into a new Microsoft 365 Audit feature. Tenants expected to see this audit event last January after Microsoft announced it was coming. Its subsequent disappearance was a mystery until now.

For Office 365 customers this month, updates rolled out for Flow, PowerApps, Power BI, SharePoint, Teams, and even Excel.

As the year comes to an end, here’s what Microsoft talked about during the month of December for Office customers.
