Today marks the first anniversary of Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service. The effort to achieve this milestone and the on-going commitment of the teams responsible for this product is nothing short of phenomenal. Earlier this week, I reached out to a few friends to join me in sharing this Happy Birthday wish and thanks to the people behind this amazing, and ever-improving product. Adam Saxton assembled this video montage and is credited for the impressive production work.
The product released last year on this date was a major overhaul of the earlier tools, with some features based on mature technologies that have been improving for several years. Since then, the pace of development, new capabilities and feature enhancements has been mind-blowing. The Power BI service is enhanced weekly and the desktop tool is updated every month, while the platform remains stable and reliable.
To the Microsoft Power BI product team:
From those of us in the community – partners, trainers, consultants, MVP Program members, user group leaders, developers, integrators and service providers – thank and congratulate you.
Here are some out takes and clips I received after Adam finished the production:
