Power Query in Power BI
Description:
Data in the real world is messy, never available in the exact form that users need for their analysis or reports. Data Analysts need to spend a significant amount of their time working on data preparation, before the data is ready to be visualized.
Continue reading “Join Me for a Webinar: Power Query in Power BI”In earlier posts for the Custom Link series, I shared how you can setup a custom link to invoke a phone call using Skype for Business… directly from within Microsoft Dynamics GP!
In this article, I will be sharing a quick update on how to switch from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams.
Generally businesses are using Skype for Business, and upon install, this becomes the default application for invoking phone calls. But with the increasing development on Teams, and the growing desire to change from Skype for Business to Teams… how do you tell the software to use Teams for phone calls instead of Skype?

Jet Reports for Dynamics GP comes with a very good selection of sample reports. These sample reports are an excellent resource – not only to see what Jet Basics does, but how the reports are built!
Many of those sample reports rely on something called ‘Friendly Names’.
Friendly names are names that properly describe the content of that SQL Table, or SQL View… they are, well, friendly 🙂 Rather than your typical naming convention for GP – like GL20000.
Not only are the sample reports built using these friendly names, but it makes it much easier to use.
Also Jet Reports comes with several useful SQL Views… both the friendly names and SQL Views get installed using the GP Update Utility.
Below is a quick guide on how to use the GP Update Utility – PRO TIP! It’s ok to add this later but I 100% recommend doing this before getting started.
Jet Reports is easy to install. Once you have the file downloaded (visit here) you are ready to install the add-in for Excel.

Some time ago Microsoft announced that Management Reporter was no longer going to get development support. This meant that it was time to start exploring options to replace MR internally for financial reporting. No rush, MR isn’t going away soon, but why not explore…
Here is a link with some information about this:

At the same time that the announcement occurred, Microsoft also announced a FREE solution to report our financials… FREE… plus it is EXCEL based. WHAT?!?!?! Awesome, I know!!

Jet Basics is a great way to get started with financials in Excel. Jet Reports takes it one step further… and it’s totally awesome!!!
