Let's be honest here, you'd like Obama no matter what he did and you'd dislike Mother Teresa if she was running against him. Fine, I can accept that, but please re-read my original post. I did not say that all socialism is bad, but rather that too much does more harm than good. The Cubans prove that every day, the old Soviet Socialist Republic clearly demonstrated that and China's recent economic growth shows what incentives for individual success can accomplish as opposed to their earlier collectivism.
Now...I do not claim that MR. Obama has created a pure socialist state, nor do I anticipate his opponent will create a purely capitalistic economy, but I do contend that he is further toward the socialist side than either his predecessor or his opponent and the performance of the American economy has suffered because of it.
Another note, while my cited example of GM applies directly to your definition of socialism, there are many less direct factors. Anytime taxes are raised to increase spending on the less fortunate we creep toward socialism. While the ownership of the means of production are not directly held by the state, the benefits of ownership - the profits - are and you are effectively socialist although it may not fit the definition you copied from Wikipedia.
Coming more prepared to answer questions in a presidential debate = bullying. Maybe Mitt was right about the 47% of Americans playing the victim.
Working off of your analogy, lets call Obama cookie monster. The likeable creature that brings a smile to the faces of children and adults alike. Cookie monster doesn't really so much with substance, but what he does say he says with meaning, perfect for short sound bites...it doesn't get much better than "Me like cookies". Who doesn't? That's something we can all agree on right? Who cares if those cookies will eventually make you overweight with diabetes and dependent on the government over the long term...they just taste so damn good!
Yeah I completeley agree with what you are procaliming. Who wants a loser like romney to do a Gordon Brown technique on the US. All of his wives will probably fight for the power and popularity they want.
Say bye to Romney....He's a waster...no common sense...
The Republicans trolls are out! I found the article skewed towards Romney - it didn't question the blatant lies and complete lack of substance to his answers, and didn't give Obama credit where he did exactly that during the debate. Romney looked like a snake oil merchant, selling slimy lies to win so that him and his ilk can benefit. I cannot understand how anyone would think that his current tack to the centre is genuine, given the arch-conservative views he has been spouting for the last 4 years!
LOL! Reading this article about the debate you can still see that the Economist is still invested in Obama's failed Presidency. A Failed Presidency that it helped foist on the American people with it endorsement of Obama in 2008. It seems no levels of UNEMPLOYMENT, DEBT, or Failure in the United States is enough to get the Economist to admit its terrible mistake and apologize to the citizens of United States for the disaster it helped inflict on the nation. A very Presidential Gov Romney last night won the first debate in Obama in the largest debate blowout in the history of Presidential debates. Romney and Obama sparred on the major issues and every single time Obama lost. During the debate we saw the real Obama. Unprepared, irritated, ideological, arrogant, and divisive. It was clear at the end of 90 minutes that Obama has no reasonble way to explain the terrible UNEMPLOYMENT, DEBT, and Failure he has inflicted on the nation. Obama demonstrated conclusively that he is in way over his head, and doesn't have the slightest idea how to improve anything! If you want to see the real Gov Romney and the real Obama watch the debate in its entirety. And then you will know the U.S. desperately need to dump Obama in Nov and restore itself with a real leader!
@Menardy said nothing even remotely pro-Obama. Even after the bailouts the US government controls less than half of one-percent of the means of production in the US. Any person that looks at that and thinks our problem is "too much socialism", or that Obama has engineered some kind of socialist takeover of the US is an economic illiterate, plain and simple.
Yep, except now Obama gets to be measured for the first time in his life. No one yet can tell me how he did versus his goals, peers, and competitors at: college, law school, as an attorney, community organizer, state senator, or U.S. Senator. What did he say he would do, what did he do? But now we can! Grade: Fail.
Democrats complain that Romney needs to be more specific, so maybe they should please point out just how specific Obama was last night in regards to his own plans. Romney can then learn from their observations. But funny: Obama's performance was comprised overwhelming of sound bites and generalizations, many totally false. He had no command of the details. And he has no track record EVER of reaching across the aisle to get things done. At least Romney has that specific going for him.
I still don't think you quite understand what socialism means.
Taking a single example, resulting from a specific response to a specific, albeit major, problem, to characterize an entire economic system is rather like extrapolating a curve from a single point.
At best, this shows a crass misunderstanding of the concept. At worst, utter dishonesty.
But, then, sadly, we've become accustomed to such disingenuous discourse.
It's amusing to see dyed-in-the-wool Obamaites squirming to find some logic or evidence that the President won this first debate. He did not. The Economist feels that the 3/4 trillion purloined from Medicare is a fiction perpetrated by Romney. Regardless, Obama was free to float his own set of potentially unaccountable fictions at this debate, but the mile-high loss of oxygen impeded his mental clarity in a wholesale way. The President has lived in a bubble for nearly four years, cocooned from accountability, and sometimes reality, by an adoring press and a platoon of staff and paid PR minions. That night, the emperor had no clothes—just a lectern.
I think the IRS has had a good crack at Romney and he is clean. Fix the tax code if you don't like it. On the other hand, you have Geitner, the Secretary of the Treasury, the former head of the New York Federal Reserve, a proven tax cheat.
Do not think so...Mitt lied through his teeth and people saw it and it disgusted them...This was another made up willard...there is no there there..he is a vacuous liar and tax cheat....Rasmussen has him down after being up before the debate and they are not lefties!
Fire BIG BIRD with glee...really !
Romney set the test standard... now he needs to conclusively prove that tax breaks for the rich, at the cost to the middle class, retired, and those in need of good medical care, justifies borrowing from China.
in the Spring of 2007,Bush Republican policies, like those Romney-Ryan advocate, had doubled the National Debt, built up China's economy, and plunged USA into recession. Reagan-Bush&Bush had previously doubled, then grew the debt... now Romney wants to repeat the process. In 2000, I published an article saying what Bush would do... saw it before that election, see it again now ...
Romney needs to show - by his own test standard - that his plan to borrow more from China etc to pay the rich to ship more jobs offshore is justified in the national interest ... and the interest of the elderly who he will deny earned benefits so his rich buddies can have another luxury vacation home in some foreign tax haven.
Fascinating times...I am probably in the minority in believing that this IS one of the key elections in modern times. I have to admit at the outset that I am an uber capitalist, but can't help but think that we are on the cusp of some very interesting times where various economic systems and their merits are put to the test. Here are my thoughts:
Communism's flaws have been exposed and is becoming antiquated (yes even the Chinese are closet capitalists, only selectively communist where government officials can enrich themselves through the corruption that comes with communism). Idealist views of equality result in corruption by those annointed with overseeing it.
Various versions of quasi-socialism have been caving in on themselves in Europe. After watching Michael Moore's movie everyone wanted early retirement, universal healthcare, rainbows, happiness, etc. Easy credit made the lunch free and everyone is now pointing fingers about the bill.
Despite my fondness of capitalism, I have to acknowledge one disruptive flaw. Generational inequality which feeds on itself (wealth gives children better resources and is passed down generation by generation). Is this getting serious enough to taint the democratic process into driving changes in policy toward socialism? This is compounded by a credit binge in the US which fell hardest on the so called "have-nots" that were shown a glimpse of the good life only to have it snatched away. Not an easy problem to fix. I can't think of another example in modern history to compare this to, but I would love to hear anyone that has a similar example in history or differing view in this regard. Just seems generational inequality + credit bubble bursting in the states under capitalism is unchartered waters and really does bring us on the cusp of the populous subtlely moving toward a system of "paying a fair share" as failed as this may be. Would love to hear a differing view in this regard as I don't have solid basis around it and actually learn stuff when I'm wrong...nothing gained in being right...so what is next?? The irony here is that democracy and capitalism go hand in hand with expansion, but are contradictory in a contraction. When the pie is shrinking, the so called 99% start looking at the spoils of the 1% to make up for their shortfall. Capitalism provides flexibility and pragmatism in a system, so I can't think of a better system with principles that will usurp it but it feels very different right now.
In the financial world at least, we lost gravity with very unorthodox cause and effect relationships manifesting themselves in currency and bond markets. The underlying cause IMHO is the underlying assumption by some that developed markets will continue to face deleveraging driving a contractionary headwind. In that environment guns, religion, and maybe gold are the prized assets.
What will economic systems around the world look like in 50 years and how much will they bear a resemblance to today?
From what I gather from early polling — as well as from personal anecdotal evidence of two erstwhile Obama supporters having changed sides since Wednesday night — debate #1 may indeed be a game changer . . . especially so since the race had been fairly tight for the past several months. Any loss of ground for the incumbent at this late juncture may be an untenable loss.
And he lies at light speed. Even if he tacks hard to the center, his etcha sketch moment, he already made his deal with the Devil. The proof is his choice of minder: Paul Ryan.
What should we believe of anything he says going forward?
So sad. It was quite apparent that Romney will say ANYTHING to be president. Where's the 7 trillion dollars gonna come from to fund my promises? Don't you worry about that, just rest assured that he has promised that it won't come from China, or the rich.
It was clear from the opening statements to the end of the debate that Mitt Romney wants to lead the nation with everything he's got but that Barack Obama is toeing the line out of a feeling of obligation that he must finish what he started. Statistics are important, but so is the fire in the belly that is required to drive and sustain the man who will lead our nation. Mitt Romney has it; Barack Obama does not. And no amount of coaching for more smiles and energy in subsequent debates is going to change that.
This was a historically poor performance by a president with an abysmal record. We were told this was the "smartest man" in the room, and we were to slow to understand his brilliance. Without the cover of the "State Controlled Media" this would not be a contest. How this historic president could perform so poorly at such a critical time for our country is an anathema. The President has spent too much time at Universities with students fawning over him, visiting the "View" and "Late Night" talk shows. We have found our county's leader in Romney and learned our current President is a better "Rock Star" than President.
Obama will win.
Every year that passes we have more people setting in the wagon and fewer people pulling the wagon.
More people on welfare and fewer people working.
More democrats and fewer republicans.
More people collecting food stamps and fewer people growing food.
More community activist and fewer engineers.
The number of moochers has grown to the point...they can elect whomever they want to elect...and they want Obama. It's over for America.

Try what's coming next for Power BI!
We're very glad to announce a new update for the Power BI Designer Preview. This month's update includes new features and improvements across all major areas in the product: connectors, transformations, modeling and reports. We have also addressed lots of bugs and improved performance and stability of the Power BI Designer.
These update includes the following new features:
You can see these features in action in the following video, or read below for more details.
The first item on the list is a new connector to import data from Google Analytics. We're adding this connector not only to the Power BI Designer, but soon also to the Power BI Dashboards service. Stay tuned for upcoming service update announcements that will bring this feature.
In the Power BI Designer, this connector can be found in the "Get Data" dialog, under "Other Sources" category (or "All").
After signing in with a Google Analytics account, users will be able to browse analytics data for all sites registered with the account. Users can pick dimensions and measures in the Navigator dialog to construct a single-table output.
Users can see the table output preview building up as they select items in the Navigator tree.
Finally, they can click Load to land the entire dataset directly in the Report view, or select Edit to land a small sample of the data in the Query view.
In the Report view, users can directly start building visualizations for this data. In the Query view, they will be able to apply several data transformations based on preview data that will run against the underlying service, and they can also leverage special operations available only to Multi-Dimensional sources, such as Add or Remove items.
There are lots of interesting analytics scenarios that open up with this new connector. Think about all other data sources supported in the PBI Designer and how easy it is now to combine data from any of them with Google Analytics data to build Power BI reports.
We have added a few additional filter options for Date/Time columns in the Query view:
- Is in Year to Date.
- Today
- This Week
- This Month
- This Quarter
These options show up under the respective dropdown menu in DateTime Filters.
Note that all of these filters are dynamically calculated, so for instance, "Year to Date" means between Jan 1st 2015 & March 25th 2015 today, but it will mean a different Year and Date when we refresh our query or report in the future.
In this update, we are adding automatic relationship detection for tables loaded in the model. We're applying this detection in the following cases:
- Initial load of the table to the model.
- Refresh
- Auto-Detect button.
This is a very powerful feature, which is now also enabled automatically and will allow users to correlate data from different tables and build rich visualizations without having to worry about manually defining these relationships. This relationship detection works for all data sources supported in the Power BI Designer that do not have an underlying schema (such as Text, CSV, Web, HDFS, etc.).
You can learn more about how to create and manage relationships in the Designer by reading this Help article.
The "Add Relationship" or "Edit Relationship" dialog has been improved to include inline previews of the tables/columns being selected.
Within the "Manage Relationships" dialog, we can click "Add Relationship"… The dialog now gives us two table/column selectors with inline previews of data. This enables us to easily identify which tables/columns to use for the new relationship.
Last but certainly not least… We're adding the ability to reorder pages in the Report by drag & dropping within the Report Pages pane… This will definitely make it much easier for you to iterate on the content of your reports and move it around as needed.
We have improved performance for loading queries that do not contain any filters or transformations by ~40-50%. You should see such queries take half of the time to load or less, compared to last month's Designer bits.
As with every update, we've also fixed lots of bugs and issues reported by many of you via "Send a Frown". We encourage you to continue sending us feedback about the product and reporting any issues that you may find while working with the Power BI Designer.
We hope that you enjoy this update. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon…

Selecting a visual will bring up options to change the visual type, to pin the visual or to remove it from the report. Pinning a visual will add it to your dashboard, and is a quick way to customize your dashboard with information that's important to you.
Select a value on the report to cross filter the other visuals. For example, selecting "open" in the top left, will filter the page to all the open tickets. You can also use the filter pane on the right hand side, to change the range of tickets you see based on when they were created.
Use the navigation at the bottom to browse the other pages of the report, including Agent Performance, Recent Activity, Activity by Agent and Group, Ticket Activity.
You can also chose to edit the report, which allows you to customize your reports and dashboards based on the underlying dataset. Select Edit Report in the top left corner. The view will switch to show you the field list, allowing you to access any of values and calculations included in this out of box data set – such as additional information about Users, Tickets etc. and customized calculations like Average Reply Time or Average Resolution Time. More details about editing reports can be found here.
Back on the dashboard, you can also ask questions about your data using the question box. More details about Q&A can be found here.
You can ask specific questions about your Zendesk data, such as "tickets by status" or one specific to your agents, such as "number of open tickets for Josh". The results of the questions can also be pinned to your dashboard.
To access Zendesk data in Power BI, you'll need to provide your Zendesk company URL and your credentials. Get started by navigating to www.powerbi.com and sign in with your work account. If you don't already have an account, it's quick and free to sign up!

In Power BI, you can create a dashboard that includes data from all the services you use to get your job done. Then you can easily share the dashboard and the insights it contains with everyone on your team.
In this blog we wanted to show you the insights you can get by connecting your Marketo account to Power BI. We have a Marketo account that contains details of multiple email campaigns and the leads they generated. After logging into Power BI, we were able to create the following dashboard with just a few clicks. It includes details like the number of emails sent this quarter, the percentage of emails that were opened, a map showing where your message is resonating, and the sources yielding the most leads.
We can ask questions of the data using business terms using Power BI's Q/A technology – its natural language search right on top of the data in my Marketo account. Below you can see we typed "how many leads do we have by state" and that immediately provided the answer.
The dashboard also comes with a detail report. By clicking any of the charts in the dashboard, we can drill through to a detail report.
The default report has useful insights you can use to analyze your lead generation. Below we walk you through the default report. Before we do, it's important to know that you can customize the report and dashboard to meet your unique needs. We don't go into that here, but we'd recommend giving it a try yourself (see how). This is especially useful since everyone's usage and needs depend on their goals, so customizability is a key benefit of using the Marketo content pack for Power BI. When you consider that you can mashup data on a single dashboard from multiple other sources like Google Analytics (coming soon!), it makes it all the more useful.
The report has a lot of good insights. This page shows you if your emails are targeting the right people by job title, industry, company size, geography, and see how much potential revenue could come from the leads you have.
There's a page that drills into lead acquisition giving insights on which lead sources are performing the best, the breakdown of leads by lead status and allows you to slice the metrics by industry, company size, revenue and country. It's a good reference if you're actively doing customer development.
The connector also has a page focused on how your marketing programs are doing. Especially useful is the top programs by acquisition percentage which helps you compare the programs against each other to ensure you're focusing on programs that work. You can also see the top 10 programs by success rate, top 10 acquisition programs and the most active programs.
The email engagement page lets you see which emails are effective and which could be improved. You see the number of emails sent, open rate, link click rate, unsubscribe rate, and delivery rate for the emails you send. You also get breakdowns by device and user.
The last page helps you understand when users are engaging with the emails you send. You might use this to adjust the time your mails are sent or to ensure there are enough customer support staff to handle high traffic periods with speedy answers giving you an advantage over your competitors and building positive sentiment.
Setting it up
To set it up you need to login to your Marketo account and get three pieces of information: the Endpoint, Client ID, and Client Secret. If this is your first time through, we have a nice article on our support site that steps you through it. You can find it here:
If you run into issues or need help getting going, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. You can contact support either by clicking the "?" when you're signed in to your Power BI account or from the "Contact Support" link on our support site.

by Anand Mariappan, Senior Software Engineer for Power BI
I am a Senior Software Engineer in the Power BI team working on the dashboard experience. Recently, I had the opportunity to volunteer in Uganda between Jan 19th to Feb 3rd through the MySkills4Afrika Program by teaching startups to use Power BI. Below is a summary about my experience. For more details checkout my blog.
The MySkills4Afrika program lets all Microsoft employees volunteer their time and skills to help build a successful future for Africa. Since the program launched over 250 Microsoft employees have completed projects ranging 1-2 week in-person in Africa. Emerging markets in Africa have been identified as game changing opportunities for organizations Microsoft is making this investment through the Microsoft4Afrika initiative, of which MySkills4Afrika is a key component.
In January Microsoft introduced a preview of the new Power BI preview business analytics service. Business users can sign up in seconds and begin connecting with their data in minutes.
During my two weeks in Africa, I spent hands on time with MMindzs, FIT Uganda and five early stage startups at the ICT Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship to show how easy it was to use Power BI using Power Query to import data into Excel, Power Pivot to define relationships between the imported data and creating live dashboards within minutes from the Excel file.
On the last day I gave a talk to everyone at the ICT startup hub on using Power BI for analytics and best practices for building a MVP. These were small-medium businesses including students, developers and sales people.
Here is a sample dashboard that I created during one of the training sessions, to show how it would be to use Power BI. Everyone loved the Power BI Q&A feature and were super impressed with how easy it was to create informative visuals.
The most frequent asks from the various startups were:
Some of the quotes from the startups after I showed them the new Power BI preview experience were:
Overall it was a great experience to see happy Power BI customers and to see the product we are building solve for the right user problems.

This is a guest blog post from Thomas LaRock, the President of PASS (Professional Association for SQL Server)
It's no secret that the role of data in the IT industry, in business, and in the world at large is changing at a rapid pace. As technology continues to become a more integrated and integral part of our lives the value of data continues to rise.
At PASS we have a 16-year history of empowering IT professionals who use Microsoft data technologies. The SQL Server community is the largest and most engaged group of data pros in the world. PASS volunteers and the PASS Board of Directors work together to help the PASS community succeed in connecting, sharing, and learning from one another. A big part of that effort is keeping an eye on the future of the data profession.
What we see is that data analytics is the next frontier for professionals passionate about data. The growth of Big (and Little) Data, the advent of cloud computing, and advances in machine learning are all areas that present challenges for our community. Data analysts, data scientists, and line-of-business managers are in high demand as organizations realize the potential of collecting and understanding the wealth of information that is available from a variety of sources.
PASS is dedicated to helping our members harness the technologies, skills, and networks that are the foundation of solid and successful careers. We believe that keeping up with industry advances is a vital skill for all data professionals. Setting and achieving new goals as well as learning new ways of working with data is a must.
Whether you're coming from a background in SQL Server, business intelligence, or social media there are specific cornerstones of turning all this data into something that can benefit your organization. We call this the "analyst's journey."
One such cornerstone is data discovery and integration. We want our members to be aware of the latest technologies in collecting, modeling, and preparing data for analysis. Next is data analysis and interpretation. We want to help our members understand the techniques and tools that enable sophisticated analysis, prediction, and optimization. Then there's visualization: the creative side of things, where we get into report and dashboard design.
As with any career another key skillset is communication. The people who analyze and work with data are in the best position to help gain executive buy-in for data-driven business decisions. For years PASS has been the leader in helping data professionals improve their communication and soft skills.
One way in which we're reaching out to those who want to learn more about analytics is the PASS Business Analytics Conference. This premiere event brings together a stellar lineup of business and analytics speakers including our keynote speakers Carlo Ratti and BI Brainz founder Mico Yuk. We have created a series of webinars and a Meet the Expert interview series to give people an idea of what the conference will offer. We also have replays from last year's conference, and we have hours of training available through our Virtual Chapters.
We're excited about data and analytics and we're hearing from more and more SQL Server pros who share that excitement.
It's a wonderful time to be a data professional.
See you in Santa Clara!
Thomas LaRock
President, PASS

by James Phillips, Corporate Vice President, Data Experiences
This morning at Microsoft's Convergence Conference, we announced new products and services that will enable organizations to create a data culture in all parts of their organizations. Adopting a data culture starts with making information easily accessible to all - our Power BI offering is helping to accelerate that adoption by changing the way people access, use, manage and share data.
First unveiled in January, the new and improved Power BI is a cloud-based (software-as-a-service) business analytics service for non-technical business users. With just a browser or a Power BI mobile app, customers can visualize and analyze their data with easy-to-use, accessible tools and innovative technology. Today we are excited to announce we are making the Power BI preview available globally to 140 markets. In addition, some of the industry's most popular data sources -- including Microsoft Dynamics Marketing, Google Analytics, Zuora, Acumatica, and Twilio -- will be available in the Power BI preview soon.
With Power BI our customers can keep a pulse on their business by bringing all their data together and monitor it through a single pane of glass. Live Power BI dashboards and reports show visualizations and KPIs from data that reside both on-premises and in the cloud, providing a consolidated view across the business regardless of where the data lives.
Power BI enables our customers to get started with data in a matter of minutes by making it possible for business users to directly connect with their data without requiring technical or analyst support. Our customers can access popular services such as GitHub, Marketo, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, SendGrid and Zendesk and we will be adding solutions for Google Analytics, Microsoft Dynamics Marketing, Acumatica, Zuora and Twilio. These solutions enable marketers with subscriptions to these services to connect and view their data from pre-built Power BI dashboards and reports that are updated continuously and automatically.
Today, anyone with a business email account can experience the preview of the new Power BI for free. Visit www.powerbi.com to find out more.

Managing millions of rows of data from multiple data sources requires a great deal of planning. Making this information readily accessible to BI users is just one (extremely important) goal. The information itself has to be worth obtaining—so you need to design your model to build and manage connections between data from a variety of sources, as well as relationships between multiple tables. Your data model is the foundation for all your data analysis.
When creating your data model, you need to consider key goals:
That's why we're introducing a deep-dive Microsoft Ignite session on Scalable BI and Advanced Modeling with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services and PowerPivot. Created for enterprise developers, this session shows you how to define a scalable data model in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services or Power Pivot to meet these essential goals. And we're taking it even further: the right definition of your data model will be especially useful if you want to take advantage of the self-service navigation, discovery, and prediction capabilities of Microsoft Power BI to share all of this helpful information.
We'll discuss how to use common design patterns to solve issues, such as handling relationships at granularities other than primary key in a table. And you'll get some suggestions about hardware selection, which is particularly important for maintaining the performance of large models.
This session will be of most interest to BI developers, particularly those beginning to plan or implement an analytics solution using a tabular model.
If you haven't already signed up for Ignite—the gathering of some of the best minds in the business—you can register here, or check out more sessions here.

One of the most exciting features of the new Power BI Preview is the ability to connect live to Analysis Services tabular models that live on-premise though the SSAS connector. In this article we will show you step by step how to securely connect an on-premises Analysis Services Tabular mode instance to use it as a data source in the Power BI Preview. You can alternatively use a virtual environment in Azure (IaaS). The process is similar.
Unlike caching the data in the Power BI service, with the new Analysis Services Connector you can connect from Power BI to your on-premises Analysis Services Tabular model & build dashboards, reports. The DAX queries issued by Power BI are sent to the Analysis Services Connector which in turn sends it to the tabular model. The DAX query is executed according to the role based permissions defined in the model. The connector will interactively query the on-premises cube to fetch the data using your Active Directory credentials. With this new option, you can continue to manage and secure your data on-premises, removing the need to have data reside in the cloud.
Power BI customers can now roll out self-service BI with enhanced user level data security Analysis Services provides. The Power BI user name gets passed from your Power BI site through to your on-premises Analysis Services. Analysis Services then resolves the user name to an authorized user via Azure Active Directory and applies appropriate role-based security to restrict data access.
Secure data transfer between Power BI and the Analysis Services Connector happens through a Service Bus which uses a secure SSL channel. Service Bus in turn uses a shared secret mechanism to create a secure channel between the Power BI site and your on-premises data source through an outbound port. It does not require an inbound port to be opened on the on-premises firewall.
Setting Up the Analysis Services Connector
Things to be aware of when configuring the Analysis Services Connector
Live Connecting to Analysis Service from Power BI Preview
Using an existing Excel Power View workbook
So how does this all work?
Additional FAQs
Currently this feature is only available Power BI accounts created in the U.S. Additional locations around the world will be added in the future.
To configure the new Analysis Services Connector, you will need Analysis Services server administrator permissions. Once configured, users will need to have at least Read permissions.
Note .NET Framework 4.5.1 or higher also needs to be installed. The current version of Power BI Data Management Gateway cannot be installed on the same machine as the new Analysis Services Connector. If you already have the Data Management Gateway installed, uninstall it before installing the Analysis Services Connector, or install the new connector on different computer.
We currently only support connecting to Tabular models.
You might need to configure Azure Active Directory DirSync. See the support article at http://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/505323-why-you-need-dirsync-to-connect-to-on-premises-ana. For organizations that use Office 365, this is often already set up. If you do not have a federated domain to Azure, Greg Galloway shared a tip on setting up a demo Azure domain that you can refer to for setting up a demo or test environment.
Now the fun begins! Log into your Power BI Preview account and download the latest Analysis Services Connector from the top right DOWNLOAD menu under the gear icon.
You can also download the Analysis Services Connector from here - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45333
Double-click on the PowerBIASConnector.exe file or click Run on the downloaded file pop up me to start running the installation wizard. After installing, click Launch to open the Power BI Analysis Services Connector Wizard. The wizard will guide you through configuring a connector to your server instance.
Once Set Up completes, click next to continue to log into Power BI.
Next you will enter the Analysis Services Server name & the credentials that you want to use for Power BI connectivity to your Analysis Services server.
Enter the Windows user name in the form of firstname.lastname@example.com or domain/username
Keep in mind:
Next: enter the friendly name – the name of the connection that shows up in the Power BI site. A nice friendly name makes it easier for users to find the server they want to connect to.
Description – provide a nice description for the server
Friendly error message – when Power BI cannot connect to the Connector due to the Connector going offline or not accessible, this error message will be shown to the users in Power BI
If the connection has been successfully configured, you should see "Success! Your Power BI Analysis Services Connector (Preview) is configured" shown.
Also the Analysis Services service and Analysis Services Connector service needs to remain running. The Analysis Services Connector service has the label Data Management Gateway Host Services in your Services panel.
You can now close the Analysis Services Connector window and give it a whirl from the Power BI Preview site.
In the Power BI Preview site, click Get Data and navigate to the Analysis Services connection type. Click on the Connect button.
A lists of available Analysis Services data sources will be displayed. This list shows the friendly name & description you defined in the Connector.
Choose your newly configured server and the available cubes will be shown. Click on the cube you want to use.
Your Analysis Services connection should now be displayed under the Datasets list. To use it create reports, click on the three dots (…) then click EXPLORE on the shown menu. Or click on the name of the dataset to get into report authoring view.
Now you should see the report authoring user interface for your self-service BI community to create reports from your blessed Analysis Services single version of the truth. Simply drag and drop dimensions and measures onto the report canvas. To add a chart to your dashboard, simply choose the Pin icon next to the visual.
You can also publish Excel 2013 Power View reports to the Power BI Preview site that use the exact same Analysis Services Tabular connection and they just work. You do need to make sure that the Analysis Services connection string in your Excel file matches the Analysis Services connection that you published to your Power BI Preview site when you configured direct connectivity.
To set up a connection in Excel 2013 to an Analysis Services Tabular model, use the Data tab in Excel. Once connected, then create your Power View reports.
To publish your Excel 2013 Power View report to the Power BI Preview site, you will upload the Excel 2013 file. On the Power BI Preview site, click on Get Data and then choose the option to upload an Excel file.
After your Excel file is uploaded, the Power BI site service will automatically match your defined Analysis Services connection embedded in the Excel 2013 Power View report with the already published Analysis Services data source connection on the Power BI Preview site for live interactive querying. How cool is that?
The whole story relies on two key things:
A quick inspection of the SQL profiler show this:
<RestrictionList xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">
<PropertyList xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis">
Notice the EffectiveUserName property?
1. What if I am using .onmicrosoft.com email address?
You will need to configure Azure Active Directory DirSync. See the support article at http://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/505323-why-you-need-dirsync-to-connect-to-on-premises-ana. For groups that use Office 365, this is often already set up. If you do not have a federated domain to Azure, Greg Galloway shared a tip on setting up a demo Azure domain that you can refer to for setting up a demo or test environment.
2. What if the Connector and the Analysis Services Server are not on the same domain?
We cannot guarantee this will work. It all depends on the trust relationship between the two domains. If the two different domains are in a trusted system model, then the Connector can connect to the Analysis Services Server and the effective user name can be resolved. If not, either the connection or the effective user name resolution may fail.
3. How do I remove the connector from showing up under 'SQL Server Analysis Services Server' in the Get Data list?
Simply uninstall the connector & this will remove the entry from Power BI
4. My reports have suddenly started failing & connector is not working too. What should I do?
Most common reason for this is the invalid password in the Connector. When the password of the Windows account used to configure the Connector expires, the Connector will stop to function. To update the password, launch the Connector, click on the Edit option & update the password.
An easy way to diagnose the Connector issues is to look in the Event Viewer for errors or warnings:
5. When I share with another user my dashboard connected to on-premises Analysis Services Server, the recipient continues to see the same data as I see. Why isn't the role based permission applied here?
This is the current behavior in Power BI. Sharing means "share your own data". Having said this, we are working on changing this experience in the case of on premises SSAS.
6. I am using my work email address, but it still doesn't work
I see this below error in the event viewer, what does it mean?
This means login using EffectiveUserName is not working. This will happen for one of the following reasons:
You can test this locally from the machine that the connector is running on:
There are many reasons why this does not work: multiple domains, asymmetric trust-relationships between domains, etc. In these cases, if the SSAS server is not able to resolve the username of the cloud identity, the connector will not work.
7. How do I keep my tiles connected to my on-premises AS server up-to-date?
Well, you don't have to! We do it for you. We refresh these tiles every 10 minutes. You do not have to worry about tile refreshes.

This week we are releasing a new version of the Power BI Designer Preview. This update is packed with lots of new things for you to try: from new connectors, transformations and Report view features to significant usability, quality and performance improvements.
You can download this update from the Power BI Designer download page.
The following features have been added or improved in this update:
You can watch the following video or read below for more details about each feature.
We've made significant Performance improvements to the Power BI Designer in a couple of areas:
- Query Load: Performance of loading queries has improved by about 2x-3x in this release, according to our benchmarks. That is, queries that used to take ~10 minutes before this update, take now just 3-4 minutes. We encourage you to try your own scenarios and let us know if you're still hitting performance issues.
- Excel Workbook Import: We've improved latency when connecting to Excel Workbooks from the Power BI Designer. You should see lower times to load previews, which will translate to a more responsive experience in the Query view.
We continue working on performance improvements in various areas of the Power BI Designer. Expect to see more improvements coming in the next few months!
In this update, we are introducing a new connector for Dynamics CRM Online. Until now you were able to connect to Dynamics CRM Online using the OData feed connector, however, this was not very discoverable for the majority of our users.
With the new Dynamics CRM Online connector, users are given guidance on what the URL of their Dynamics CRM Online feed looks like. User input is also validated and users won't be able to connect until the URL they provide is correct.
We've made a few improvements to the Navigator dialog layout:
- Improved output preview for multi-dimensional sources (such as Analysis Services and SAP BusinessObjects): Output preview for these sources is now always visible as users select items from the tree. This makes it easier for them to preview the data that they will get when clicking Load/Edit Query.
- "Show All" vs. "Show Selected": No more "Select multiple items" option. Instead, the default mode in the Navigator is to select multiple items. This makes it easier for users to select multiple tables. The "Selected Items" area at the bottom-left of the dialog is replaced with "Show All" & "Show Selected" options above the tree. This optimizes the space in the default view to display a larger number of items in the tree.
- Improved Search capabilities in the navigator tree: Search experience within the navigator tree has been improved. It's now much easier to search for an item and click on it in the list or remove the search term. The position in the tree is kept so users do not lose the context for their selection.
A few improvements have been made in the Query view to make some transformations easier. These transformations were already possible via custom formulas, but now have been made much more usable:
- Age and Subtract operations for Date/Time columns: When working with Date/Time columns, it's often useful to calculate the difference between two Date/Time columns (for example, Order Date & Ship Date), or to calculate the Age or Date/Time difference between a given date and "now". These options are now available in the Date menu under Transform and Add Column ribbon tabs.
- Aggregate Columns – Option to disable column name prefix: An option to disable column name prefix has been added to the Aggregate Columns menu. This option was added a few months ago to Expand Columns but it was missing for Aggregate. With this option, users can decide upfront whether to include a name prefix based on the original column name to the Aggregate Columns output.
This month we've made improvements to the Field List based on your feedback:
- Expand/Collapse Tables: We're adding the ability to expand or collapse tables in the Field List. This improves navigation and usability when dealing with multiple tables in this pane.
- Hide/Unhide/View Hidden Fields: Now you can also hide specific fields in the Field List to simplify this view. You can also look at hidden fields or unhide them (one by one or all at once).
- Improved Layout: We've made some adjustments to the spacing, margins and fonts in the Field List to make it easier for you to work on it and handle more items.
You can add multiple pages to your reports and navigate those pages using the left pane in the Report view. In this update, we're adding keyboard support so it is much easier for you to move between pages:
- Up/Down Arrow keys: Use these two keys to move up and down in the list, one page at a time.
- Page Up/Down keys: Similarly to the previous item, move to the previous or next page in your report.
- Home/End keys: Move to the first or last page in your report with a single gesture.
Finally, we've also fixed lots of bugs and issues reported by many of you via "Send a Frown". We encourage you to continue sending us feedback about the product and reporting any issues that you may find while working with the Power BI Designer.
We hope that you enjoy this update. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon…

The Superbowl is just around the corner and as you can imagine we are getting very excited here in the Seattle area. A good way for us to get some of the Superbowl anxiety out of our systems is to take our data visualization and analytics tools and use them for football related analysis. What you see here today is the result of that.
First: what do the Seahawks, the Internet of Things, Power BI, Azure Stream Analytics and Amir Netz have in common? There's not an easy answer but the next video might help. Watch Amir (you might remember him from our Amir Netz Selection post) demo Power BI and Azure Stream Analytics with a Seahawks twist. Some healthy competition is not bad at all.
If you feel like trying Power BI and Stream Analytics together you can apply for a private preview here.
And now, something that's becoming a tradition (it's just the second time, but we want to make it a tradition): The Power Map tour Road to the Superbowl showing how the Seahawks made it to the big game. Enjoy and don't forget to try Power BI!

Yesterday we announced exciting news for Power BI. Anyone with a US business email account can try the preview of the new Power BI today for free. The preview introduces a number of new Power BI including dashboards, new visualizations, support for popular software-as-a-service applications, a native iPad app and live "hybrid" connectivity to on-premise SQL Server Analysis Services tabular models. The preview will be made available internationally in the coming months.
When we reach general availability we will introduce a free offer, available as Power BI. We'll also introduce Power BI Pro, available at a low monthly price, with additional data capacity and features for the enterprise. In anticipation of this move, on February 1 we are lowering the price of our in-market Power BI service to $9.99 per user a month, a 75 percent reduction in price. More information on these offers is available here.
For those not familiar with Power BI, it is a cloud-based business analytics service (software-as-a -service) for non-technical business users. With just a browser – any browser – or a Power BI mobile app, customers can keep a pulse on their business via live operational dashboards. They can deeply explore their business data, through interactive visual reports, and enrich it with additional data sources.
Michael Tejedor gives Jeremy Chapman from Office Mechanics a first look at what's new.

We hope all of you are enjoying 2015 so far! The Power Query team has been busy working on the latest Power Query update, which includes a new connector (or many new connectors, in this case!) and a bunch of other usability improvements.
You can download this update from the Power Query download page.
You can watch the following video or read below for more details about each feature.
This new connector can be found under "From Other Sources > From ODBC" and it allows users to connect to their generic ODBC providers. This makes it possible for users to bring in data via Power Query from several data sources that are not natively supported. Users can connect and import data from ODBC-based data sources by specifying the connection string parameters and a SQL statement to execute.
Note that credentials should still be entered on the credential page, rather than in the Connection String field above, to ensure credentials are not inadvertently shared with the query. Similar to other SQL Statement connections, Power Query will not be able to optimize query steps after the SQL statement so it is suggested that you optimize the original statement as much as possible (i.e. include "group by", "join" operations, etc.)
With the addition of several new data sources in the past few months, we started to hit issues related to the amount of entries under the "From Other Sources" dropdown menu. We considered sending bigger, higher-resolution monitors to all Power Query users as a gift, so everyone could see all entries in this menu. However, given the large amount of Power Query customers, this was not a viable solution. As a fallback plan, we have decided to create a new top-level menu for Azure-based data sources to balance the number of entries in each dropdown menu. This does not add any new data sources, but improves navigation, discoverability and ease of access for our data sources lists in the ribbon.
In this update, we're modifying the way in which Workbook Settings are exposed in the Power Query ribbon. Instead of having Workbook Locale and Fast Combine directly in the ribbon, we've moved them into a new Workbook Settings dialog. This allows us to provide better descriptions about these two settings, as well as make room for a new setting that we are adding this month: Enable/Disable Relationship Detection.
When loading queries into the Data Model, Power Query will try to detect relationships between them. These relationships might exist in the data source (i.e. SQL Server) or might be implicitly created by the user as part of their query steps. For instance, merging two queries would make Power Query detect a relationship between these two queries, which would be automatically created in the Data Model when these queries are loaded.
As much as this is a useful feature, it is also one that may cause an increase in the load time for your queries. In many cases, users either do not want these relationships or know that there aren't any relationships beforehand, which make this additional wait time unnecessary. Based on feedback from many of you, we have decided to add an option to turn this relationship detection off. Note that this setting is workbook-specific, so you will need to modify the default behavior (default is to continue trying to detect relationships) for each workbook via the Workbook Settings dialog.
We have added counts for number of columns and rows in the Query Editor Preview. This will help you get a better sense for the shape and size of your data while defining transformations in your queries. Note that these counts are based on the Query Editor Preview, not the full data set. In particular, the number of rows will be smaller than the actual table row count in most cases. You will see these numbers change as more or less rows are displayed in the preview (for instance, you will see the row count increase when scrolling down in the preview).
Before this update, deleting an Excel worksheet would result in all queries that had been loaded to this worksheet being automatically deleted as well. This caused accidental data loss for some users, unaware of this default behavior. Based on feedback, we have decided to add an additional confirmation for what to do with queries when the Excel worksheet that they were loaded to is deleted. There are two choices for the user: delete queries or modify their load settings to disable load to worksheet.
That's all for this month. We hope that you enjoy this update and find the new features valuable for you and your customers. Please send us your feedback or suggestions via Smile/Frown in Power Query.

Today we are previewing new features for Power BI, our self-service business intelligence solution designed for everyone. Power BI reduces the barriers to deploying a business intelligence environment to share and collaborate on data and analytics from anywhere.
Try what's coming next for Power BI
We are introducing a number of new Power BI features available for preview including dashboards, new visualizations, support for popular software-as-a-service applications, a native iPad app and live "hybrid" connectivity to on-premise SQL Server Analysis Services tabular models.
These preview features are available for customers with a United States address. We'll incrementally add new country support as we extend the preview globally in the coming months. Existing customers will find a preview option in their current Power BI sites. For those not currently using Power BI, you can sign up for a Power BI preview which includes the new features here.
Now in Preview:
Power BI dashboards
Users can create personalized dashboards to monitor their most important data. A dashboard combines on-premises and cloud-born data in a single pane of glass, providing a consolidated view across the organization regardless of where the data lives.
Users can easily explore all their data using intuitive, natural language capabilities and receive answers in the form of charts and graphs. They can also explore data through detailed reports that target specific aspects of their business. Visuals from these reports can also be pinned to their dashboards for continuous monitoring. As part of this experience new visualizations have been added including combo charts, filled maps, gauges, tree maps, and funnel charts.
Out-of-the-box connectors for popular SaaS applications
Power BI now provides "out of the box" connectivity to a number of popular SaaS applications. In addition to the existing seamless connection with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, with today's release customers can also connect to their data in Salesforce, Zendesk, Marketo, SendGrid, and GitHub with many more to come in the months ahead. With an existing subscription to one of these services, customers can login from Power BI. In addition to establishing a data connection, Power BI provides pre-built dashboards and reports for each of these applications.
Excel BI and the Power BI Designer
Excel 2013, which comes standalone and with Office 365 ProPlus, is Microsoft's premier business analyst tool – it includes rich business intelligence features (Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View, Power Map) fully integrated with the powerful ad hoc analysis capabilities and familiar features of Excel – like Pivot Tables and Excel Charting. With Excel 2013, analysts can publish Excel Workbooks to Power BI, and share data, analysis and reports with Power BI users.
For Power BI customers who don't have Excel 2013, the new Power BI Designer provides a solution expressly designed for Power BI report creation. It can be used to import and model data, then author and publish Power BI reports to the Power BI service.
Connect live to on-premises Analysis Services models
With the new Power BI connector for SQL Server Analysis Services, customers can realize the benefits of a cloud-based BI solution without having to move their data to the cloud. Customers can now create a secure connection to an "on-premises" SQL Server Analysis Services server from Power BI in the cloud. When users view and explore dashboards and reports, Power BI will query the on-premise model using the user's credentials.
With this hybrid solution, organizations can continue to retain, manage and secure their data on-premises, while securely enabling users to benefit from that data via Power BI.
Stay connected from any device
We are working on a wave of native mobile apps for Power BI. These apps will allow users to access their Power BI dashboards and reports through immersive mobile experiences for iPad, iPhone, and Windows tablets. The first of these - the iPad app is available today and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store, with other platforms following in the coming months. All Power BI mobile apps enable users to share insights and collaborate with colleagues so that they can take immediate action, from anywhere, anytime.
We welcome you to preview the new features for Power BI and look forward to your feedback.

Recently we have announced a new public update to Excel 2013 that includes major stability and usability improvements in Self Service BI scenarios, especially when Power Query, Power Pivot & Power View are involved. For this release we eliminated over 120 bugs, crashes and hangs, and introduced two new important usability improvements that aim to make the analysts' work smoother.
If you are ready to get the update straight away, skip to the How to Download and Install the Update section below.
Deferred Data Model Update
In Excel 2013, any change to the Data Model caused Excel to immediately update every PivotTable, PivotChart, and Query Table in the workbook. The users were forced to wait every time that they make a change to the Data Model, such as creation of a new measure or a calculated column. Sometimes, depending on the workbook and Data Model complexity, the waiting period could be pretty long. To address this problem we have introduced the following changes:
This change significantly enhanced the experience of the user doing modelling in Excel, so don't miss on installing this update and experience it for yourself.
Out-of-Memory Improvements
Running out of memory in Excel 2013, in scenarios when the Data Model was involved, caused a computer freeze or Excel crash. In this release we targeted these scenarios and introduced a better and friendlier customer experience.
Specifically, in the scenario when 64-bit version of Excel 2013 is running low on physical memory, or if the user is running a 32-bit version of Excel 2013 and getting close to the 2GB virtual memory limit, Excel will detect this, will stop all allocations and will show the "Out of Memory" error message to the user.
Bug Fixes
For this release we fixed over 120 bugs, crashes and hangs in different scenarios. We improved the stability of slice and dice operations, refresh, Data Model upgrade, connection editing and many more.
We really encourage you to download the latest Excel update and try it yourself.
How to Download and Install the Update
If you have automatic updates enabled for your Office 365 subscription, you should receive the latest Excel update soon. If you don't have automatic updates enabled in Excel, go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.
If you are running a perpetual Office edition then you will need to install the following updates through Windows Update or Microsoft Download Center – KB2910929, KB2899498, KB2899505 and KB2920734.

Ever since we launched Power BI for Office 365 this past February, we have been sharing Power View interactive reports in this blog. We've often been asked how to do this, and today we are happy to announce that this feature plus the option of embedding Pivot Tables publicly for workbooks 10MB or smaller is now available. To find out more read the official announcement on the Excel Blog for requirements and licensing.
To start embedding, first upload your workbook to SharePoint Online, then use the share option to generate a URL. Create an iframe based on the new URL with the parameters action=embedview and wdbipreview=true. You can also customize how your visualizations are displayed to better fit your embedded workbook to your website or blog. See the getting started instructions to learn more.
One of several examples on how this feature can be used is this interactive visualization that Marc Reguera built after the 2014 World Cup to show average goals per world cup, attendance and team performance among other KPIs.
