Why Power Apps Charts Are Broken (and How AI Fixes It)

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/08

Opening: The Data Visualization ProblemPower Apps charts look like they escaped from a 199s Excel demo—clunky blocks, random colors, and fonts that could make a design intern weep. You drag one onto the canvas, tweak a few properties, and there it sits: a relic. It’s like Microsoft kept the idea of “charting” but amputated everything that made it aesthetic or flexible. Business stakeholders stare at it, nod politely, and go back to their old Power BI dashboards.The issue isn’t cosmetic—it’s

Stop Losing Inventory: The Power Apps Barcode Fix

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/07

Opening (Hook + Premise)Most so‑called “inventory systems” are just glorified spreadsheets with delusions of grandeur. Let’s be clear: if your entire warehouse depends on someone typing numbers into cells, you’re not managing assets—you’re performing data entry cosplay. And yet, every quarter, someone panics when an item vanishes from the spreadsheet like a magician’s rabbit, then solemnly declares, “The system lost it.” No. The system didn’t lose it. You did—by designing a system that relies on

The SharePoint List Mistake That Breaks Your Power App

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/07

Opening: The One Mistake That Dooms Most Power AppsEveryone loves a shortcut—especially when it’s already baked into your Microsoft 365 license. You’ve got a business problem, a SharePoint list full of data, and Power Apps sitting there teasing you with that beautiful button: Create an app. Click it, and thirty seconds later, voilà—an interactive app appears. It displays data, edits data, even deletes it. You feel like a developer god. You’ve automated something. You’ve joined the Power Platform

Why Your Fabric Data Warehouse Is Still Just a CSV...

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/06

Opening: The AccusationYour Fabric Data Warehouse is just a CSV graveyard. I know that stings, but look at how you’re using it—endless CSV dumps, cold tables, scheduled ETL jobs lumbering along like it’s 2015. You bought Fabric to launch your data into the age of AI, and then you turned it into an archive. The irony is exquisite. Fabric was built for intelligence—real‑time insight, contextual reasoning, self‑adjusting analytics. Yet here you are, treating it like digital Tupperware.Meanwhile, the AI

Stop Writing SQL: Use Copilot Studio for Fabric Data

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/06

Opening — The Real Bottleneck Isn’t Data, It’s LanguageEveryone swears their company is “data‑driven.” Then they open SQL Management Studio and freeze. The dashboard may as well start speaking Klingon. Every “business‑driven” initiative collapses the moment someone realizes the data is trapped behind the wall of semicolons and brackets.You’ve probably seen this: oceans of data — sales records, telemetry, transaction logs — but access fenced off by people who’ve memorized syntax. SQL, that proud old

Why Your Power BI Query is BROKEN: The Hidden Order...

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/05

Opening: The Lie Your Power BI Query Tells YouYou think Power BI runs your query exactly as you wrote it. It doesn’t. It quietly reorders your steps like a bureaucrat with a clipboard—efficient, humorless, and entirely convinced it knows better than you. You ask it to filter first, then merge, then expand a column. Power BI nods politely, jots that down, and proceeds to do those steps in whatever internal order it feels like. The result? Your filters get ignored, refresh times stretch into

Your Fabric Data Model Is Lying To Copilot

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/05

Opening: The AI That Hallucinates Because You Taught It ToCopilot isn’t confused. It’s obedient. That cheerful paragraph it just wrote about your company’s nonexistent “stellar Q4 surge”? That wasn’t a glitch—it’s gospel according to your own badly wired data.This is the “garbage in, confident out” effect—Microsoft Fabric’s polite way of saying, you trained your liar yourself. Copilot will happily hallucinate patterns because your tables whispered sweet inconsistencies into its prompt context.Here’s

The Secret to Power BI Project Success: 3...

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/04

Opening: The Cost of Power BI Project FailureLet’s discuss one of the great modern illusions of corporate analytics—what I like to call the “successful failure.” You’ve seen it before. A shiny Power BI rollout: dozens of dashboards, colorful charts everywhere, and executives proudly saying, “We’re a data‑driven organization now.” Then you ask a simple question—what changed because of these dashboards? Silence. Because beneath those visual fireworks, there’s no actual insight. Just decorative

Bing Maps Is Dead: The Migration You Can't Skip

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/04

Opening: “You Thought Your Power BI Maps Were Safe”You thought your Power BI maps were safe. They aren’t. Those colorful dashboards full of Bing Maps visuals? They’re on borrowed time. Microsoft isn’t issuing a warning—it’s delivering an eviction notice. “Map visuals not supported” isn’t a glitch; it’s the corporate equivalent of a red tag on your data visualization. As of October 2025, Bing Maps is officially deprecated, and the Power BI visuals that depend on it will vanish from your reports

Stop Power BI Chaos: Master Hub and Spoke Planning

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/03

Introduction & The Chaos HookPower BI. The golden promise of self-service analytics—and the silent destroyer of data consistency. Everyone loves it until you realize your company has forty versions of the same “Sales Dashboard,” each claiming to be the truth. You laugh; I can hear it. But you know it’s true. It starts with one “quick insight,” and next thing you know, the marketing intern’s spreadsheet is driving executive decisions. Congratulations—you’ve built a decentralized empire of

Stop Wasting Money: The 3 Architectures for Fabric...

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/02

Opening Hook & Teaching PromiseSomewhere right now, a data analyst is heroically exporting a hundred‑megabyte CSV from Microsoft Fabric—again. Because apparently, the twenty‑first century still runs on spreadsheets and weekend refresh rituals. Fascinating. The irony is that Fabric already solved this, but most people are too busy rescuing their own data to notice.Here’s the reality nobody says out loud: most Fabric projects burn more compute in refresh cycles than they did in entire Power BI

GPT-5 Fixes Fabric Governance: Stop Manual Audits Now!

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/01

Opening – The Governance HeadacheYou’re still doing manual Fabric audits? Fascinating. That means you’re voluntarily spending weekends cross-checking Power BI datasets, Fabric workspaces, and Purview classifications with spreadsheets. Admirable—if your goal is to win an award for least efficient use of human intelligence. Governance in Microsoft Fabric isn’t difficult because the features are missing; it’s difficult because the systems refuse to speak the same language. Each operates like a

Stop Using GPT-5 Where The Agent Is Mandatory

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/11/01

Opening: The Illusion of CapabilityMost people think GPT‑5 inside Copilot makes the Researcher Agent redundant. Those people are wrong. Painfully wrong. The confusion comes from the illusion of intelligence—the part where GPT‑5 answers in flawless business PowerPoint English, complete with bullet points, confidence, and plausible references. It sounds like knowledge. It’s actually performance art.Copilot powered by GPT‑5 is what happens when language mastery gets mistaken for truth. It’s dazzling

SharePoint Agent vs. Human Admin: Can AI Replace You?

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/31

Opening: The Arrogant Intern ArrivesYou’ve probably heard this one already: “AI can run SharePoint now.”No, it cannot. What it can do is pretend to. The newest act in Microsoft’s circus of automation is the SharePoint Knowledge Agent—a supposedly brilliant little assistant that promises to “organize your content, generate metadata, and answer questions.” The pitch sounds amazing: a tireless, robotic librarian who never stops working. In reality, it behaves more like an overly confident intern who

Stop Cleaning Data: The Copilot Fix You Need

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/31

The Data Cleanup TrapYou think your job is analysis. It isn’t. It’s janitorial work with better branding. Every spreadsheet in your life begins the same way—tabular chaos pretending to be data. Dates in six formats, currencies missing symbols, column headers that read like riddles. You call that analysis? That’s housekeeping with formulas.Let’s be honest—half your “reports” are just therapy for the punishment Excel inflicts. You open the file, stare into the abyss of merged cells, sigh, and start

Fix Power Apps Data Entry: Use THIS AI Agent

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/30

The Data Entry NightmareLet’s start with something familiar — the Power Apps form. Every organization has one. Rows of text boxes pretending to be productivity. You click “New Record,” a form opens, and suddenly you’re not an analyst or a manager. You’re a typist. Copying names, phone numbers, addresses, maybe from an email that someone forwarded, maybe from a PDF invoice that refuses to let you copy cleanly. This isn’t digital transformation. It’s clerical labor with branding.Now multiply that by

Stop Migrating: Use Lists as Copilot Knowledge

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/30

The Myth of Mandatory MigrationWhy is it that in every digital transformation meeting, someone insists the first step is to migrate everything? As if physical relocation somehow increases intelligence. A file sits peacefully in SharePoint, minding its own business, and then a consultant declares it must be “upgraded” to Dataverse for “future compatibility.” Translation: they’d like another project. You’re told that modernization equals movement, even though nothing’s broken—except, perhaps, your

Canvas Apps Are Dead: Why Generative Pages Win

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/29

Opening: The Canvas App LieYou still build Canvas Apps? Fascinating. That’s like hand‑coding a macro in 2024. Once upon a time that gave you bragging rights; now it just means you volunteered for unnecessary suffering. Canvas Apps promised liberation—the power to design any interface you could imagine. Freedom, they said. Drag‑and‑drop creativity without code, they said. What you actually got was a lifetime subscription to pixel purgatory.Every developer who’s tried knows the drill: new layout

Stop Using Generative Pages Wrong! The Licensing Trap

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/29

The “Free Lunch” IllusionEveryone’s mesmerized by that shiny button in Power Apps that says, “Describe your page, and we’ll build it.” You type a sentence like, “Create a calendar showing upcoming product launches,” and a few seconds later, AI conjures a functional interface, styled neatly, connected to data you didn’t even bother wiring up. No drag, no drop—just type and watch the scaffolding appear. Magical. Effortless. Microsoft’s demo makes it look like the no‑code future finally arrived—until

Manual UI vs. AI Pages: Is Vibe Coding Worth It in 2025?

M365 Show Podcast ·

2025/10/28

The UI ParadoxYou’re still dragging rectangles around in Power Apps? Fascinating. It’s 2025, and half of you are still nudging buttons pixel by pixel like it’s 2019. The rest have discovered something far more sophisticated—describing their pages in plain English and letting AI build the layout. One group babysits pixels. The other supervises intelligence.Manual canvas apps are the digital equivalent of painting by hand—slow, strangely cathartic, and deeply impractical when you realize you need a
