The Power BI Weekly newsletter has published its fifth edition!

Five editions? Already? How time flies.

The Power BI Weekly newsletter is proving a great success - we've just published the fifth edition, hundreds of people have subscribed and we've received lots of kind feedback.

Power BI Weekly is a collation of the week's top news and articles from the Power BI ecosystem, all presented to you in one, handy newsletter!

I think it's safe to say that Power BI has become omnipresent in recent times. We use it widely here at endjin and it's been a fundamental element of our modern data platform since its inception. It's a fantastically powerful tool with which to glean insights from and interrogate your data. Not only that - it's fun to use (at least I believe it is)!

We were very surprised to see that there was no newsletter offering out there that collated content from the whole of the Power BI ecosystem. There are so many people talking about Power BI and there's so much great content, and that's not going to falter any time soon. Now, with the existence of Power BI Weekly, you have a one-stop shop newsletter where you can find the week's content from all your favourite authors.

We'd like to thank everyone who has interacted with Power BI Weekly in one way or another, be it through subscribing, sharing, liking, commenting, providing feedback or anything else.

James Broome

Whilst "read/write XMLA endpoint" might seem like a technical mouthful, its addition to Power BI is a significant milestone in the strategy of bringing Power BI and Analysis Services closer together. As well as closing the gap between IT-managed workloads and self-service BI, it presents a number of new opportunities for Power BI developers in terms of tooling, process and integrations. This post highlights some of the key advantages of this new capability and what they mean for the Power BI developer.
