I am actually working on a Power Bi timeseries visual, to show the changes of air-quality during the corona-crisis. To show the correlation, I want to display the corona time-frame. Is there any possibility to make this visual.
Thanks, Andreas

I want to show some real-time IoT data in a Guage in power BI dashboard. But I want to customize this Guage by changing colors so on. But I don't see an option to customize any element on power BI web. Could you pls tell me how can I do this?
Am loading a set of data in power bi for data quality reporting. my data is in SQL server. my data looks like below. this loads without any issues into power bi.
source data
but after loading it, power bi does not present the dates that are earlier than 1900, so this is what appears
power bi output
I would like all date values to appear even those before 1900 so that we can correct the data.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help

Newbie here. How do I limit the amount of data imported to Power BI? For example, I have a total row count of 1,156,135, but i only want to load the last 90 days is there an easy way of doing this?
With Power BI, you can edit the query to pre-filter the data.
On the ribbon, click Transform Data to open the Power Query Editor. The Power Query Editor will show you a sample of the data (not all of it). Then either you can set up your filters and Power BI will build the query for you, or you can use the Advanced Editor to write/edit your own query.
Click "Close & Apply" to close the Power Query Editor and load the data.
I have created a dataset in Power BI web, and then imported it on Power BI desktop (using File -> Get data -> Power BI datasets).
I don't see a way of adding Calculated Columns. Does the dataset need some special configuration to enable this?
Based on my experience you won't be able to see the columns because it using direct query. you can still add some columns and measure but your'e basically flying blind. you can just select the table in the report(visual view) and add column however you'll have to play the guessing game. But if you know your dataset you should be fine.
However a Dataflow wouldn't give the issue you're having.
I want to know if I can use Power BI to create reports in Excel? I want a well formatted report we present before clients.
Clients provide us data in SQL. I use statistical analysis tools. The analysed numbers are in SQL again. I have Power BI on my laptop. I want to know if I can build any process where I can create excel reports from the SQL server numbers?
I do use PBI for creating charts and graphs which I later manually paste in excel reports. But have no idea if complete report making is possible.
Can anyone elaborate??
Thanks!!
Power BI is (mostly) the combination of two Excel plugins, Power Query (Get data from Excel 2016 onwards) and Power Pivot. The visual/report layer is an advanced version of Power View in Excel.
You have two options. First you can use Excel to have the Power BI experience in getting and connecting the data together. For this method you will use the Power Query (M) and Power Pivot (DAX) parts, these are the same as getting data and using the relationship designer in Power BI. If you are currently copying and pasting visuals from Power BI into Excel, then this method would be the best way. You may want to create your visuals in Excel, and format them to a Power BI look and feel.
The second option is to create the dataset in Power BI, getting and transforming the data, then publishing it to the service. You can then use 'Analyze in Excel' to connect Excel to the dataset and surface the data in Excel.
I would recommend not copy and pasting visuals from Power BI to Excel as you lose the benefits of Power BI's interactivity, just use the normal charts, slicers and other tools in Excel. By using the first option, you are keeping the workflow in one application without any convoluted steps back and forth, and anything you learn and use in Power Query and Power Pivot you can use in Power BI.
