In 1937, 22 feet of water stood over
these raised beds.
(epic music begins)
I asked Angie what was that earthen wall.
She said, it's holding back the Ohio
River. I said, I have to see this.
Ashland was home to no less than five
Native American groups when Scots-Irish
settled there in 1783. Iron deposits were
discovered in Ashland in 1800, which led
to an influx of industry over the next
two centuries. Oh, wow.
The Ohio River is a massive waterway
nearly a thousand miles long.
For centuries, iron, coal, and petroleum
have made their way up nearly 200 miles
of the Big Sandy and into the mighty
Ohio, bound for destinations across the
Eastern United States. In 1937,
everybody along the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers knew what was coming, but they
couldn't stop it.
It's been called The Great Flood. The
flood reached its high point of 74.3 feet
on January 27th.
In 1938,
Congress authorized Ashland for the
Flood Control Act, however, it took two
more floods in 1943 before work began in 1949.
The Ashland-Catlettsburg flood wall system
features 13,530 feet
of reinforced concrete dike,
777 feet of earth levee,
six pump stations and 17 traffic openings
through the wall. It was completed in 1953.
Robert Dafford, one of the most
prolific and successful muralists in
America, painted the nine original murals,
with the interconnected goals of
historic preservation, education, and
economic development.
Flooding along the Ohio is really not
that uncommon. As we turned to the car, I
spotted an amazing garden across the
road and ran over to investigate.
It belongs to Judy Fannin, locally known
for her gardens, her cookbooks, and her
generosity. This is a Northeaster and
it's very, it's the best bean I've ever
had.
No strings, all you do is take the ends
like this, and you get five or six pieces.
I mean mm-hmm
cook them just like half riders listen
bacon grease and a ham hock and onion
pepper and add salt at the end and
they're great and I used to grow
feathers and three ocular beans these so
just these and why did you switch
because no string no just cause they're
so tasty oh this is a much better feed
it tastes like it's very hard to find
only I think it's Johnny's selected
seeds and you have to get a very early
good because it's sell out but uh keep
on being a watch
- they're just not good at it these are
potatoes okay they're all this is a
white white sweet potato which is what I
love candy sweet potatoes and I have
recipe books I'll have to show you my
recipe okay maybe it could be a plug for
those
yeah I've got some daddy I'll give me
one so this is the meter
you've heard of Beauregard yes Henry and
it's almost a white woman Beauregard is
not it's not a these are sweet potatoes
not games this will give me and that's
sweet potatoes for the whole town for
the whole what County
I made this oh this would be but we pick
these up people and someone will be this
bit ghetto and what will you do the is
giveaway oh wow one year by church the
youth group got these a little bit and
they raised $400 they they sold them
they made a sweet potato cookbook and
it's online on Etsy it's a juke cook of
GE fanuc and there's a sweet potato
cookbook and the young people at church
helped me dig a mince ultimate Church
tell me the difference between a white
the white southern white sweet potato
and them is those real dark orange
they're kind of mealy I don't know how
they're starting their fabrice yeah
stringy and the white sweet potato is
dense like a white potato really but
it's a sweet potato and it's marvelous
my mother-in-law
cooked them made the candies with the
Davis sweet potatoes I know you know
this are going all over the world every
country and probably you're the best
vegetable that we could ever eat to be
honest with you including the leaves do
you eat the leaves oh you can oh yeah
they're wonderful yeah but I didn't know
they bloomed it so this year this
women I don't remember member blooming
in the past yeah you put the sweeper the
leaves are marvelous usually my peppers
are not doing this well are we in the
season the leaves fall off but they're
doing pretty good the only green ones I
have are here so nobody I don't let
anybody else pick them see I'm getting
number this is a jalapeno this may be
its emit this is a Pomona I've got
yellow orange purple and red I've
already picked some purple but I can't
pick him yet returned and I've got about
eight kinds of cucumbers somebody
watered when I was gone and they got
some water on the leaves you cannot use
city water to water vegetables so I was
sick I was out of town for two weeks oh
this is love okra this is regular grow
and now had a whole row of the grid open
but only these three came up so I didn't
even know those three are coming up so I
plant it they put it but they like to be
sheltered by the open you know nothing
likes potatoes white potatoes have blue
potatoes so you can ever plant those
with anything else or you'll kill them
and this is a little flower bed there
goes cosmos disease that's kale is it
late for kale yeah Morty cook to missus
but I'm just leaving it up for the show
know if this will be good good yeah ko
actually will survive the heat pretty
well here yeah I was gone and we had
planted another wrong there it goes
and the marigold seeds may come up like
this is not fair
like five or six years you know if you
don't cut it but it's is high then it
goes to asparagus for that it's still
coming up inside one right I don't have
my knife I'd better move the waitress
mark and there's two there will cut you
see those two there that little beef
about right by tomorrow here's a note
and you cannot cut this phone down wait
till the last thing the asparagus firm
you cannot be trimmed back
you can't hit him before they are
finished with their cycle because if you
cut them too early then asparagus won't
come back or if it does it'll be really
weak because it start in not this year
no well it takes years to get it goes
yellow squash and zucchini I just picked
I'll wait till tomorrow so you got some
mildew no I do too late too late to
spray some they'll do before it ever
appears and I fight it with my dahlias
and seniors and flocks in your flower
gardens so there's a spray can what's
the name of the spray you use the mildew
nice mix of it see it's already hit this
is it's too late I told us so do you
just cut the leaves that have the mildew
and and I've never had it this early but
that might be a good idea huh these are
my sunflowers I'm gonna plant another
row I gotta go out and here's my boards
now look what what all the last few
years at my flower gardener that behind
Lexington I've grown the gourds last
year the deer a everyone when they're
about this high
yep so I moved them down here and
because you've got a fence around this
whole thing there's no deer here there's
where one tracks over there and then a
highway I've never seen a deer down here
ever
they couldn't jump this but they could
jump the whole day
this is Kim Jenkins I already told her
you're a babysitter for her family what
is your role in this garden I designed
it originally yes she did because my son
wanted to learn how to
so we designed this party because my
grandfather had been a farmer in North
Georgia
he raised peaches had a wonderful peach
orchard pigs chickens and vegetables and
would go around in his truck and sell to
the old-timey country stores and I was
living with him but my father was in
World War two so I would get on the back
of the truck they allowed that and go in
and sell my granddaddy's produce that's
how I love a garbage started but this
I'd always had Gardens out of the in the
country we had a big house out there at
several big gardens and Kim was our
babysitter she probably helped to the
garden then we moved to town and I told
you that the deer ain't up all the
vegetables at my flower garden so when
the Sun wanted to learn to garden any on
this building Kim designed it and it had
all these fish they've been replaced
once so they probably could be replaced
again I think we had well Kim has
discovered poison ivy so she's a
perfectionist wonderful landscape
business this is unusual because we're
on the tour it has to be perfect I mean
nearly perfect with each year in the
last three years the weeds have gotten
progressively worse and worse and worse
and so we fought it and so we're
fighting it that's we're waiting for
about the fifth or sixth time already
Oh Johnson grass over here was this was
always my lettuce bed but last year
because it really liked this location
but I took my lettuce and grew it in in
town in pots and it did great
I had romaine and big huge heads in pots
so everything else I don't have any corn
one year I tried but you had they're
supposed to have four rows and
pollination and I don't haven't been as
big enough my name is Judy Fannin I've
ever national Kentucky
my vegetable garden in Catlettsburg
because you cannot grow vegetables in
Ashland nationally or anywhere because
of all the deer eat everything I thought
I saw a hood I plant everything too much
together usually nothing you know only
half of it is oh okay here's that do
something that will become a okra I
think see that little thing why I got a
plan for this
I'll bring it tomorrow so you can see it
it's Rapunzel I love it
see them all I knew this yeah there's
one day I mean this is a rudkus tomatoes
heirloom tomatoes you have to pick
before they ride it and you cannot
sucker them either so therefore I don't
know which about tomatoes are air
movement which art so I'd have it sucker
them the tasteful tomato I think that's
where I'll order some of my plate this
is a wonderful sight in Alabama it's
tasteful the tasteful garden sorry and
they have wonderful plants they're
expensive they're like 535 each but they
have some varieties that are just
awesome and they're mostly heirlooms and
you do not sucker them I did not know
that of course they're there just handed
down and then the hybrid tomatoes you
can but I'm not sure this other friends
say yeah see how he's put these and see
that one back here come back here

can you see there boy they're all over
it yeah huge I use pantyhose I use hoes
I tied by dahlias for them and then I
think they look well for tomatoes but it
doesn't rub them that's like wrong wrong

Feature: Ford EcoSport 1.0L Titanium AT 2018 - Duration: 4:16.
Hello, this is Niky Tamayo for Top Gear Philippines and we're here with the brand-new, 2018 Ford
EcoSport.
And by brand-new, I mean it's a brand-new facelift.
You see, aside from the new grille, the new bumpers, the new interior, it's a nice new
interior, and the new touchscreen, you have something new under the hood.
Under the hood of this car is the 1.0-liter turbocharged engine from the Ford Fiesta.
So, minus one cylinder, plus one turbo.
Now, most people don't know this, but the EcoSport that launched in 2014 isn't the first-generation
EcoSport.
See, there has been one in Brazil since 2003.
I remember that Ford brought one in, actually, for road testing.
But they decided against selling it because it was too small, not fashionable enough,
and it wasn't right for our market.
They launched it in 2014 and it was a smash hit.
It's the bestselling crossover in the Philippines by far.
It's the bestselling crossover because it's the cheapest.
It's also the least well-endowed.
It's got a small engine and everything but Ford has gone some way with this new-generation
model to addressing some of those concerns.
Now, I'd be lying if I said that the engine has transformed the car into a sports SUV.
Not really.
But it feels a lot more effortless than before.
The old one, with its 1.5-liter engine and dual-clutch, you'd be waiting and waiting
for it to accelerate.
With this one, you just press and it goes.
Now, don't expect it to be as quick as a Fiesta.
It's a whole lot heavier.
But still, it's a lot sprightlier than the old car.
The handling is much better now because of the 17-inch wheels.
They're wrapped in 205/50 R17 Michelin Primacy tires, which are a big upgrade over the old
fuel-saving Goodyears that were on the old car.
On the inside, they've changed things up a bit.
You finally get a touchscreen here, and it comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
You also get a nav screen and a back-up camera.
The seats are reprofiled.
There's better support now in front and in the rear.
You finally get a little sculpting in the buckets.
Also, the driver gets adjustable lumbar support, which is a godsend for those of us who are
not exactly 36-24-36.
But all things said, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is a better engine.
It's smoother, it's got more torque on tap, and it promises better economy thanks to an
auto stop-start system.
And that little three-cylinder engine is so small it actually fits on one piece of paper.
When Ford first released the EcoSport, they promised us a Fiesta on stilts.
Instead of a tall Fiesta, a tall car that drove like a Fiesta, we got a Fiesta that
drove like a tall car.
It was a bit wobbly, there was a lot of body roll, and it was never quite as sharp as it's
Fiesta cousin.
Now, with this revised suspension, firmer spring rates, and more direct steering, most
likely due to the grippier tires, it actually corners better now.
It still doesn't quite have the grip or sharpness that you'd expect from the Fiesta, but it's
pretty good for a crossover.
Our time with the EcoSport is coming to a close.
We've got to give the keys back to Ford before we put too many kilometers on their brand-new
car.
We've already put a lot.
It's been an enjoyable day.
This has been Niky Tamayo for Top Gear Philippines, signing out.

Ser SALADO o tener SALERO. Perfecciona tu español, 40. - Duration: 1:30.
I'm on my holidays in Cyprus.
Here I am in the salt lake of Akrotiri I think it's called, or something like that.
It's an area that a long time ago was an island separated from the main island of Cyprus
and when it joined became this salt lake.
All this is salt.
Yes, everything.
It's a very strange feeling, it's hard.
Well here, an expression has occurred to me that we say in Spanish.
When a person is salty or has a lot salt shaker, which is the place where we put the salt
to put it in the salad or in any food, that, when someone is salty or when
has a lot of salt shaker, it means he's fun, he is open and he is talkative.
Do you know any similar expression in Spanish or in your language?
Come on!
Share it below in the comments, and we will all learn with them.
Oh, and do not forget to subscribe, Like, click the bell to receive notifications
when I publish new videos, because all that helps me to make many more videos to
learn Spanish.
See you in the next video. ¡Hasta luego!

#Measure User Conversion Time with Google Tag Manager - Duration: 17:49.
In this video, I'm going to show you how you can measure how long it took your users to
convert.
All and more, coming up.
Hey there and welcome back to another video of measureschool.com teaching you the data-driven
way of digital marketing.
My name is Julian.
And today we want to talk about how you can measure how long it took your users to convert.
Now, you might be used to the time lag report within Google Analytics that tells you how
long it actually took for your eCommerce customers to buy a product.
But wouldn't it be nice to have that data also available for your other interactions
such as a form submit, where you want to know how long did the user actually take before
he submitted this form.
Now that can give you valuable insights on how long the customer journey is.
You could even do segmentation or retargeting of customers who took a longer or shorter
period of time.
Now today, I want to show you how you can send the data via Google Tag Manager into
your Google Analytics account.
And we'll use techniques such as setting cookies, calculation with this cookies, and then sending
this all over to Google Analytics.
So
you have the data available.
Now we
got lots to cover.
So let's dive in.
All right, back in our demo shop, we have already a running installation of Google Tag
Manager with a Google Analytics page view tag deployed.
And also, if you go over to our contact form, and filled that out, we have our conversion
tracking in form of an event that fires once we submit this form.
But there's also could be a Facebook Pixel or a Google AdWords conversion tag.
And this time runs into Google Analytics where we have that data gathered here in our real-time
reporting.
What we want to add now is a data point to actually tell us how long the user has been
on the page, or how long has user journey well, until he submitted this form.
Now how can we do this?
Essentially, we need to set a cookie that writes in the background to the user's computer,
once he enters the website.
And once he then goes to this form, and submits.
We pick up the information from the cookie when it was set, and calculate the difference
between right now.
And when the cookie was set and sent it all over to Google Analytics.
That should give us the time that a user took to convert or submit this form.
So let's get started.
In Google Tag Manager, I have already prepared a script here, a listener tag that sets the
cookie for us.
This is a piece of JavaScript very standard that has a function which sets the cookie
on our browser.
Now, what I want to ride into this cookie is, first of all, the name which is in this
case first seen.
Then I want to ride in the actual time, which is right now.
And then I can define how long I want to have this cookie is set for.
Now, you could choose any number here, this is 30 days right now.
But you could also say 300 days, or go even higher.
Now, obviously, the likelihood of the cookie still being set by this amount of time is
dependent on if the user is visiting your website with a different device, or flushes
this cookie at some point, or goes into private browsing mode.
So this whole technique needs to be anyways taken as a grain of salt as any kind of tracking
that we deployed with Google Tag Manager as it's JavaScript based.
And we have certain restrictions if the user deletes these cookies.
But okay, let's leave it at 30 days.
And let's try this out.
We'll build a trigger for this.
And for now, the trigger will be pretty easy, it's just going to be a page view trigger,
which we're going to modify, I'm going to call this first seen.
All right, we're gonna go with our page view type and just deploy on our pages for now.
Let's try this out and save this.
And refresh right here.
Go back to the page.
And I'm simply going to refresh our form.
And we see our listener said, Cookie was now deployed.
What does that do in our browser?
It sets a cookie, we can see that in our developer tools.
Just go over to the menu point here or more tools, and to the developer tools, and then
navigate to the tab application.
And on the left side, you can see under the storage section the cookies.
And the domain that this was set to.
Now here's all the cookies that our website has set over this visit.
And we also see our familiar first seen cookie.
This has a cryptic number in here, and it's actually the millisecond since 19:70, which
is when the JavaScript started working.
So to say, it doesn't really have to tell you anything is just that when we measure
our time again, we want to know the difference later on.
So this is in milliseconds.
And here, we can see when it will expire the whole cookie.
So how can we now pull this cookie that we have set with the time into Google Tag Manager?
Well, that's something that we have the ability to go through a variable.
So let's go over to Google Tag Manager under the variables, we can just create a new user-defined
variable.
And this will be a simple first cookie variable for our first seen cookie.
We click on the configurations.
And here we have the ability to pull out values from a first party cookie.
We just need to know the name of that first party cookie, which in our case, is first
seen.
All right, let's save this and try this out and see how it gets filled.
Let's refresh our preview and debug mode.
Refresh our page.
Here we go.
And we can go to the variables and we can see
here's the number that is inside of the cookie right now.
You might think why did this number change?
We have still a little bit of a problem here because our listener actually fires on every
page view.
So it essentially sets the cookie again and therefore overrides our existing cookie.
This is not something that we want because we only want to fire it once.
Once the user comes to the page for the first time.
How can we detect this?
Well, if the user comes to the page for the first time, he probably doesn't have the cookie
yet.
So if Google Tag Manager can't read the cookie, and only then we want to set a cookie, because
that means the user is here for the first time.
So we can build that into our trigger.
Let's go over to the trigger
and turn this into a specific one, where we say that we only want to fire this on page
views when our cookie first scene.
So the variable that we've just created is actually undefined.
Only then I want to deploy our listener tag.
Let's save this.
And refresh,
go back to our page, reload our page.
And as we can see, our tag didn't fire.
Why?
Let's click on it.
And down here, we first need to choose an event for us, it's a page view event.
Let's go down here.
The cookie first seen does not equal undefined, which is true, because there's a number in
here.
Let's try the opposite.
Let's open up our developer tools again, and go into the application.
And we can easily delete any cookie here by just going to the cookie itself, and click
on on the x here will be deleted.
Let's reload the page.
Now,
the cookie should not have been set.
Let's go to variables.
Or it's actually a little bit misleading because our listener fired
and it says on the page view event the cookie first seen equals undefined, which was true
at that point in time.
But here we see already a value which was probably set at that time when the trigger
was evaluated.
And henceforth, this will only deploy when the user doesn't have that cookie.
Or in our definition comes to the page for the first time.
So if you go here to any other page, it shouldn't fire because we already have that cookie.
Now,
how can we transfer this to our
event that fires on the form submit?
Well, we don't want to really just sent over the time or these milliseconds that don't
really tell us anything.
This the time when the user first visited, obviously, you could download this and then
recalculate it.
But we are specifically interested in the time it took the user to convert.
And therefore, we can do this calculation instead of Google Tag Manager, and send it
all over to Google Analytics.
So once this fires, and we already have the trigger and the tag setup, we actually want
to send in data that is calculated.
And we want to fill it into our Google Analytics event tag.
In this case, we want to fill it into our label field.
And we can use variables here.
And this is what we want to make use of in order to calculate this.
So let's go over to our variable menu and create a new user-defined variable.
This is a custom JavaScript variable for our time to conversion.
And we're gonna use the custom JavaScript variable type.
And I have a little good of a template here,
which wraps everything into a try-catch error, which is best practice, really.
And in the end, we need to return a value.
That's what a return statement is in here again, already.
Now,
this function, we first want to check if the cookies even available to be read.
Obviously, this is something that we could also get from our other variable, which you
can call simply by typing in these two curly brackets, it will give you this menu here,
and we'll have a look at the cookie first seen.
If that is filled, we want to do our calculation.
Now, shorthand for this is an if statement.
We just wrap our variable in here and open up our code block, what should happen if this
is true.
So if this is filled, you want to get the time right now, which could just write into
variables here
new date, which is a function from JavaScript, and then
the milliseconds get time.
And then we want to calculate that time to conversion.
How do we calculate it?
Well, we will take our cookie time which is saved in this variable.
We would take our time right now, which we already saved in this now variable and deduct
from that our time that we have written in our cookie, which we can again call through
these two curly brackets.
And we have this menu here, where we can insert this.
So again, we take the time right now, we take the milliseconds from when the user first
landed, and the deduct this and that should give us the time that he spent to convert.
So in the end, we want to just return this time to conversion.
And it's put else statement in here.
If the cookie first seen is not filled so there is no cookie available for whatever
reason, we want to simply return undefined.
We can get rid of this return statement right here
and save this.
And let's see if this works.
Let's refresh, go back to our page.
And obviously, we can look at variables, even though we haven't yet submitted a conversion.
Let's go into any event here and under the variables and see how our time to conversion
got filled.
With the milliseconds since our first seen cookie minus a time right now.
So this is the time that we are looking at right now since we have set this cookie.
Now, just to make this a little bit more readable in JavaScript, I'm just going to open up the
JavaScript console here.
We will take that number here.
And if we divide it by 1000, we would get the seconds.
So 390 seconds, obviously, if we divide that number, even further by 60 we would get the
minutes, 6 mins 51, and so on.
And if you wanted to get the hours again, by 60, if we wanted to get the days by divided
by 24.
So in this case, our timestamp would be .004 five days before we took the action, which
equals the six minutes that we had before.
Now we can build that into our time to conversion variable.
So we have the time in minutes.
For example, if that makes sense.
Or in days, if you want to have this run longer, depending on when the converse happens, what
kind of a conversion it this, might take longer, might be faster.
So let's build in this calculation into our custom variable.
Let's go back here.
And we want to return the time to conversion, divided by 1000 divided by 60.
So we get the minutes.
And obviously, you can adjust this if you choose so.
Let's saves this again,
refresh,
go back to our page.
And let's look at the
variables again.
And we see right now we had 9 minutes, 47 seconds, in that sense, is 60 seconds.
So it's half a minute, almost.
Now that we have this number, we simply have to transfer it into our tag once the user
sends this off or submits a form.
So let's go into our tag and add that in right here into the label,
custom JavaScript time to conversion.
Let's save this and refresh
and try this all out.
Let's refresh our page
and fill this up
and send this off.
Now we should see in our Google Analytics, a new event that just happened contact us
event and it was 10 minutes 68 until I converted or submitted this form.
Later on, you can obviously see this in your behavior event reports once the data is transmitted.
And you want to see and look at all the conversions that came in and how long they took.
Now, this takes a little bit to get filled, you could even make this more sophisticated.
So if I wanted to take the next steps and actually analyze the data in a more average
fashion, I would actually not send over an event but a timing hit, which is also available
through Google Tag Manager right here.
But here would need to send the milliseconds.
So Google Tag Manager will take that up and build you some timing reports out of it.
And obviously, if you want to have it even nicer, you could take the custom JavaScript
right here and build in some other mechanisms of days or minutes if one or the other threshold
is overcome in terms of the time.
But yeah, once you have that data in your Google Analytics account, or in your Facebook
Pixel or AdWords account, you could, for example, retarget people who took a particularly long
or short time to buy your product.
In the end, if you want to have this data available for your users, you obviously would
need to submit a version so it's published to your live website.
Don't forget to give it a name
and publish it and then it's live on your website and you will get the data.
All right, so there you have it.
This is how you can measure the time that it took the user to convert on your website.
Now, I'd love to hear from you.
Is that something you would use?
In which cases would you actually use this and did you learn something?

Power BI August 2018 Update Highlights! 🥂 Find Out What's New! - Duration: 15:04.
Barbee I August 2018 update is here I
bring you the highlights including Q&A
in desktop dax measures that can draw
and a lot more I'll be covering only the
key updates but down in the comments let
me know which one was your favorite
feature out of this update now if you
want to become a power bi Pro make sure
to subscribe and click that Bell so
you're notified whenever I go live to
answer your power bi questions let's
start with Q&A and desktop and how I was
not sure about this I almost left it out
of this video but here it is and number
one not because so I'll I'll admit Q&A
in my experience has been a hit or miss
when I've tried Q&A with just kind of a
model as I built it it was problematic
the only situation scenario where I've
had success with this where I created a
model specifically tuned for Q&A so
again it's a bit of a hit or miss but
Q&A is not about the state of where
things are but where they are headed and
that's where you need to you need to
squint your eyes a little bit and ignore
the minor you know things you might see
in Q&A right now but imagine the future
that's coming and by the features that
Microsoft keeps rolling in around QA we
know that this is gonna be a key pillar
and I can see that and so let me just
show you a quick demo so now with the
latest feature is the Q&A is now
available in desktop mode and they have
been other features like ask a question
has been around the Q&A Explorer this
one was covered in the April 2018 update
and I'm gonna link that in the notes so
you can get more details on that but now
Q&A with being available in power bi
desktop you can pretty much double click
anywhere and just ask a question so I
can say sales by country and you know
let me say I've change this one to a pie
chart so you can see kind of the same
chart that I have down here that one I
created using Q&A as well
I can go say sales and order quantity uh
well I got a type somewhere sales and
order quantity
by I'm not sure by country what that's
what I had right so you can see it just
builds it for you there and of course
the last one that I have is stop
customers by order quantity so yeah I
got reasonable results and of course
there are functionalities here including
synonyms and such so that you can make
you an a more robust but but again I'm
really encouraged by kind of the future
and of course a lot of these elements
are already functional and being used in
production but I'll just say it's taken
with a grain of salt expect that you're
gonna have to optimize your model for QA
for it to work reliably for your users
but but again it's a it's a great sign
of the future where we headed
self-service bi right that's the goal so
that was that was the biggest highlight
and in my mind and the next one of
course you know this one is close to my
heart as well data categories for
measures that kind of sounds weird let
me just show you what that's about
so in here if we go to measures now what
we're talking about here is if you
selected any for example I'll show you
in my territories table I have
territories table where are you my
friend do you are and if you notice the
region image now this one I can
categorize this is actually you can see
this is this is the URL of an image so I
can I can specify that show this to me
as an image or I can or a hyperlink URL
now earlier you could only do this as
I'm demonstrating here with columns so
that's the big change
now you can specify this data category
this data categorization for measures as
well so that's a big change and let's
see how it's going to look like so in
this case I have a measure saying
variance percentage indicator right so
in here it's returning a URL based on
the specific variance so what is the
value and now I can add this to my table
now if you just do it
like that it's not gonna give you the
desired results is just showing in the
URL but that's the feature released in
this update which is now you have
control about setting the data category
so of course whichever applies whether
this can be a hyperlink URL being
returned by the measure or in this case
it for me it's the image URL so I'm
gonna click that to image URL and notice
it's now rendered as an image now this
one interestingly so of course there are
quite a few other scenarios which are
enabled by this and you can see some of
that in the detailed complete video by
Microsoft power bi team for this update
but I would say that I had covered a
playlist which I'm gonna link as well
about power bi KPI indicators and what I
just showed you becomes kind of a fourth
way to do it I show you kind of like
three different ways to do this in KPI
but now that we have data categories for
measures the one that I just showed you
is an additional way to do that let's go
to the next one conditional formatting
by values so what we have here is I can
go to okay I just reset that as I was
playing with it so here in my table
you've probably already been playing
with a lot of conditional formatting
options but now if I select let's say
background color I can specify a field
value which again could be a measure so
let me actually show you the measure
first so imagine a measure and of course
you know you know I love Dax like I love
Dax measures because they give you the
ultimate flexibility in total control
about how your logic works in this case
well it's pretty simple but based on the
various percentage I'm just returning a
color now you can also return the hex
code here so it writes a hex code of a
very specific color they do you want to
return you know I just for this demo I
just said red yellow green so now if if
I say conditional formatting background
color I can choose field values this is
a new option here and there I can
specify a Dax measure which returns the
color that needs
to be render so here I can go to my
budget table and the variance percentage
color the measure that I just showed you
and it's gonna look ugly I'm gonna warn
you so yeah there you go it's it's a you
know it's yeah not very pretty but yeah
you get the idea so the color can be
really controlled in your programming by
your tax measure so it gives you a lot
of flexibility here let's go to the next
one which is slicer Restatement now
again I'm not a huge fan of the way
Microsoft names it what essentially that
is is you see the slicer label up top
here you can have this reflect what is
being selected right now so I have it
turned on in this graph and all you have
to do is I think go to selection
controls and well nope not here ah there
we go
slicer header filter Restatement so
again not a huge fan of the term but
basically it's saying just showing me in
the title show me what is selected right
now and you can see this is showing all
right now so again if I turn it off
notice it doesn't show anything
blue-gray right all of that but now that
I turn it on notice what happens here
let's try it this way
so if I go black it's it shows what is
selected now of course this can be
really useful in some scenarios
especially imagine if your your
drop-down was kind of scrunched like
that and something down below was
selected which wasn't even visible at
least in the header you will see that
the color white has been selected but my
friends you know I love Dax measures and
sure this is great but you can do that
and quite a bit more with measures so
let me just show you a counter example
or just another example of that so here
what happens here is if I select black
notice I this is this by the way is a
measure and notice what happens here in
the filter Restatement when I select
multiple ones
it just says multiple selected not bad
but you can do better
notice here selected color black and
blue and of course if you go more and
more and more it can just can
Adonai of course at some point you can
say you know more than the three colours
selected or something like that instead
of trying to show all of them so yeah so
this is great but you can also kind of
get similar results by tax print reports
through export to PDF now this was
apparently a very heavily requested
feature and that's great I understand
that some scenarios where you do need to
print it's needed now the odd thing is
that this is available on power bi
desktop you can go in there and just say
kind of export to PDF and it cycles
through all the pages all the visible
pages to be to be accurate and just
prints out a PDF for that and and it
looks pretty good so on power bi com you
have the print current page feature so
it doesn't print all the pages so I hope
there's gonna be parity soon between
those two and and of course on power bi
rockem you do have export the power
point feature as well so it's a
smattering of that now of course in
general I understand there's need to
print but in general you should enable
your users so that they can consume the
reports and dashboards on a device of
their choice so make sure that you know
you've customized a mobile layout and
make sure that looks and works for them
educate your users on using that as well
hopefully minimizing some need of
printing out creating bookmark groups
now I'm not sure I have a warning around
bookmarks let me just show you the
feature and then we'll talk about it so
the feature is if if you had bookmarks
now you can group them you can notice
here that it's kind of navigation is
kind of grouped and you can just select
a few bookmarks and click on that and
say create a new group give it a name
all of that now of course if you're
using bookmarks heavily then this can be
pretty handy you can have these other
scenarios and you can step into the
storytelling mode by clicking view for
that specific bookmark set so when I
click view it's only stepping through
the ones that are grouped in this so
five of them and you can see notice that
at the bottom and you can you know kind
of storytelling can go from one to the
next to the next to the next now this is
great although I have been noticing
hearing this so this was
were heard on the Microsoft campus by
well yeah so somebody was saying that oh
I don't need em and DACs
I can do anything in bookmarks if you
find yourself there you probably not on
the right path so bookmarks are great
but usually they work best if you use
them with with some control and
restraint and you can't swap building a
good model in power bi using m and ax
for that so again and if you are
interested in building a good model a
good starting points would be to go to
my channel and look for the power bi
tutorial playlist and the data modelling
playlist it's it's right up under the
playlist ones let's talk about the
custom visuals and the three that I
found interesting for this launch where
small multiple so now I am a huge fan of
Stephen few and you know his book
information dashboard design is pretty
much my Bible and a Steven whew if I can
encapsulate his his you know philosophy
about building dashboards he talks about
being less is more so less bling let
your data shine and small multiples he
does talk about that and it's a very
effective way to communicate a kind of a
specific story in a compact format so
this one is it is promising although
it's still limited I really wish that
the support for small multiple was kind
of inbuilt pretty much for all visuals
now maybe that's asking for too much but
yeah I would love to see just all of
these visuals should be small multiples
enabled ironically back and Power View
anybody remembers that they did have
small multiples for different graph
types the next one was the pivot slicer
I found it a little bit hard to use but
so it's more for the analyst who's kind
of slicing and dicing data and and yeah
I didn't find it intuitive enough that
if I have kind of layman or new users of
power bi I probably would stick to
simple slicers before if you have like
an analyst you know audience set or you
want to use it for yourself it does have
a lot of bells and whistles which lets
you slice and dice data in a lot of
different ways and the next one was a
column chart
seemed promising it shows you
essentially the plan forecast and the
variance in kind of a compact graph
although um I wasn't quite sure if this
was you know really far superior than
something you can get using
out-of-the-box visuals I I know this is
kind of more compact with the everything
tied in so my friend that's a good note
to end on I will say that it might feel
if you're feeling overwhelmed by this
non-stop train of power bi updates I
would really say don't and I would like
you'd like to remind you that less is
more if you focus on the 20% the right
20% then that gives you the 80% of the
results and if you ask me the core 20%
of power bi that gives you that biggest
bang for your buck is really what's
under the hood is that it's the em it's
the DAX it's building the model and
after that everything else the
visualization part becomes easy and and
in that portion building the model there
hasn't really been any big update in the
past several years so those concepts are
rock-solid and again if you would want
to get a head start on that a good place
to start would be my power bi tutorial
all right my friend until next time
power on hey keep watching more videos
and deep learning power bi but if you
did enjoy this video I would love to
hear from you so leave a comment like
subscribe all the good stuff while we're
on my friends
