Hi ,

Hope you’re doing well...

Read this email carefully I have got a santa surprise for you in this email. 

Before 2025 wraps up, I sat down and listed 12 Power BI tricks I actually use in real projects. Not textbook stuff. Not “nice ideas”. These are the things I reach for when a model misbehaves, totals look wrong, or Power BI just decides to be… Power BI.

I’ve grouped them into three buckets:

• Power Query tricks that help you clean data faster and avoid painful errors

• DAX and modeling tricks that fix problems like wrong totals, weird YTD behavior, and confusing context

• Visualization tricks that make your reports easier to read without over-designing them

Some of these tricks are subtle. Some feel slightly illegal the first time you see them. But every single one comes from real work, not demos.

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be an easier way to do this” while working in Power BI, this video will feel very familiar. 

And that’s not it, I also answered a question a lot of people are curious about: how much I actually make from YouTube. Watch the video here.
