Hi @NowinskiK, I used your Real Time Data Simulator for my #FabConEurope session on RTI to generate custom payload and wanted to thank you for it. Since then, several attendees have reached out asking for the cool app I used :P

Choosing how to share #PowerBI reports and other items in #MicrosoftFabric is an important decision. Theres many options.
Here's an overview of the common ones.
We've written about it in the new article in the Microsoft Power BI Implementation Planning:

I had a phone conversation today with a very nice young chap from Pakistan. This is how it went:
"Hello, how are you today?"
"I'm very well thank you for asking, how are you and more to the point, WHO are you?"
"Madam, my name is Sanjit, and I'm calling you from Microsoft.โ
"Microsoft, is that a city in Pakistan?โ
" No Madam, MICROSOFT, the computer company. I'm calling to tell you that we have found a problem with your computer.โ
"REALLY, that's quite concerning.โ
"Yes Madam, it can become very serious indeed but thankfully I will be able to fix it for you.โ
"No, I meant it's very concerning because I don't HAVE a computer.โ
โYou don't?"
โNo.โ
"Ahh, it must be a problem on your laptop Madam.โ
"Don't have one.โ
"Ipad?"
"Nope.โ
"Tablet?"
"I have none of those things. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a telephone.โ
After a few seconds of silence he said "Madam, you are lying to me now!"
I said "Well, you started it!!" and put the phone down.

Laura Kuenssberg, "Reform is calling for ยฃ50 billion in spending cuts, which public services are you cutting?"
Nigel Farage, "We can save ยฃ35 bllion before we even start.. I'll tell you tomorrow"
"We will raise personal tax allowance to ยฃ20k.. A huge incentive for those not in work to go to work"
Laura Kuenssberg, "You say you will cut ยฃ50 billion in spending, which public services would you get rid of?"
Nigel Farage, "It's not about getting rid of public services, its about making them more efficient.. The NHS is swallowing up huge amounts of money in diversity training.. We want to live in a country where everyone is treated equally"
Laura Kuenssberg, "Even the highest figures for spending on diversity training, the most you could get back is ยฃ427 million, which out of ยฃ50 billion is a drop in the ocean"
Nigel Farage, "The inheritance tax threshold should be raised to ยฃ2 million.. Which will bring us enormous savings"
