A modest update notable only for the roll-out of Home in Desktop
This month's update to Power BI Desktop adds some seriously arcane functions to DAX, but it's the roll-out of the Power BI Home feature which most people will notice. We've been creating our idiosyncratic monthly blogs on Power BI updates since November 2016, and also deliver online and classroom Power BI courses.

Posted by Andy Brown on 20 June 2024

For many people this will be the most likely thing that they will want to do, which makes the fact that it's so hard to find irritating!

You can see Microsoft's blog on the June 2024 changes here.

Apart from this change, it's as always the dog that didn't bark which grabs the attention: that is, the fact that on-object interaction is still in preview (I'm not sure that Sherlock Holmes reference works in this context). Will this huge change ever see the cold light of day?
