Any ideas on how to import a TrueType font into #PowerBI where the font's name contains "No.2" as Power BI Desktop single quotes the name and doesn't load it?

As a firm believer of using explicit measures in #PowerBI, who else would like #TabularEditor to have an option to preset a data column's "Summarization" to "None" instead of "Default"

Back to Earth with a bump. Managed to break #TDML deserializer in #TabularEditor 2.18.1 :( Github issue raised. Sorry @DOtykier

Upgraded to #TabularEditor 2.18.1, following @DOtykier tweet. Converted a clone of a project to #TDML. Had high expectations following @mthierba's talk at #sqlbits. Seeing the individual TDML files in folder mode is a real joy for readability & DevOps source control
#AzureDevOps management of wiki pages is awful.
- Attachments only permitted in top folder. That's several hundred for a SME business.
- Are effectively write once. API adds a GUID suffix to the file but never tells you.
Wikis are meant to be collaborative living documents!

What's the simple reason for the random time that @databricks spends in the "Running..." state, of a spark sql delta table query, before there's any Spark job activity? Note it the only submission running on the cluster

Well that's a first!
Sending an "in pocket" tweet!
If you saw it, I'm not mad. Well not yet! A few years to go I hope
Just got #Wordle in ONE. At those odds, why can't that happen whenever I buy a lottery ticket?
#sqlfamily with MSSQL transactional replication, can the subscriber also have CDC enabled to report the updates that it has received?
Someone at @Tesco Marketing has a great sense of humour for the Christmas TV advert - Santa's COVID passport and Travel/Don't-travel runway lights. Brilliant!

Really enjoyed #SecretsOfTheLondonUnderground presented by @MrTimDunn and guided by @siddyholloway
Hope another series is in the pipeline (or should that be tubeline)

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes. I'm thankfully over the worst having had Covid - it really packs a punch. Be careful out there and look after each other x
Just watched S4/E1 of @ABCNetwork "The Good Doctor". The horror and stress faced by hospital front line at the start of COVID pandemic. Hard hitting drama!
