Are you looking for ways to automate some of your routine accounting functions, like reconciling sub ledgers to the general ledger?   Microsoft has recently created some examples using Power Automate Desktop (think of it like Task Recording on steroids). It can not only automate steps through Dynamics 365, but it can also automate Excel and other applications. In one example from Microsoft they automate the AR to GL reconciliation: Automatic running of the AR aging and the customer/ledger reconciliation reports. Power Automate then extracts data from both reports in Excel and compares the balances. Power Automate then posts a Team message letting you know the subledger is in balance. Power Automate saves the reports with the date in the file name, so there is backup. Microsoft Directions & Example   I working with the example, I needed to make a couple of adjustments to the sample flow that was provided but I was able to get it to work.

Power BI World Tour Coming

-

I am excited to be presenting at the Power BI World Tour in New York and San Francisco. This is going to be a great event with many different sessions.  Take a look at the information below and hopefully can attend one of the events I will be at, but if those dates don't work there are a few other options available.
What is the Power BI World Tour?
The Power BI World Tour is a local two day technical conference targeted for the newbie/business user, business analyst, super user, or IT / Administrator of Power BI. Our goal is to bring value added content that is relevant and timely that will take your knowledge of Power BI to the next level, give you an opportunity to network with peers and Industry Experts, and tweak your dashboards so they give your organization the extra edge.

Who is the target audience for the Power BI World Tour?
Our goal is to have something in the World Tour for everyone. For those that are brand new, they will get the chance to learn the fundamentals of Power BI and hopefully by day 2, walk away with your first dashboards developed for your business.

For the Business Analyst, take your usage of Power BI to the next level by learning how to create enhanced visuals relevant to your business situation, automate, secure and distribute your information, and get in early on the Power Apps & Flow train. Additionally, get access to Microsoft MVPs and Microsoft employees that can help answer your burning questions.

If you are more on the developer side and wanting to take your knowledge of the back end or developing within Power BI, this is the place for you. We’ll have experts to challenge and debate the best use of models and coding.

Creating a date table with a fiscal year in your Power BI data model

There are many different articles available on Time Intelligence in Power BI.   Many new users to Power BI do not really understand the importance of having a date table in their data model.   I have spoken on this topic on many different occasions and continue to receive a lot of questions about the topic.   In this article I am going to try and cover a few tips on how to work with dates in your Power BI model. Many new users simply use the Auto Date & Time function of Power BI.   This function automatically creates a hidden date table for each field in the model with a date or date/time data type.   This function is enabled by default and it allows for slicing by Year, Quarter, Month and Day.   The problem with Auto Date and Time is that it only works with a standard calendar (Jan to Dec).   It requires a datetime column in the fact table.   It does not work with multiple fact tables and it does not support time intelligence calculatio...

Have you ever wanted to put a website or a model-driven Power App in one of your existing Dynamics 365 Finance workspaces or forms?  You might already know you can create a new workspace with a website, but did you know you can add the website to an existing workspace? Here is an example of the Vendor invoice entry workspace with the Invoice Capture Power App embedded. Prior to using this feature, you need to turn on "Saved views support for workspaces" in feature management. Once this feature is enabled you can follow the following steps to add the Invoice Capture app or any model-driven Power App or website to an existing workspace. Open the vendor invoice entry workspace From Options - choose Personalize this page From personalize menu - select the 3 dots - and then Add an app Once that is selected (the screen goes gray) - click on the section header where you want to add the app (in my example I put it in Links) On the Add an app menu - choose Website Give it a name (my e...
