Important: If you did not register with the registration form, please do not come. Signing up on meetup is not enough. Microsoft building security will not admit you without registration unfortunately.

Building security rules for the event location mean that we had to provide full names and email addresses of all attendees 3 days before the event. They are super strict about this. We have sent off the list to Microsoft and have closed the form and have emailed all those people who completed the form to confirm that they are registered.

The year is nearly over and Power BI has powered ahead with lots of new and improved features. I will demo some of my personal favourite new capabilities including:

• on-object editing makes formatting our visual so much fun
• calculation groups are now in Power BI Desktop, and are so useful
• the all-singing, all-dancing new card visual
• lots of improvements to charts: leader lines and smoothed lines, better bubble sizing,..
• the DAX WINDOW() makes writing time intelligence functions easier
• dynamic format strings for measures – a real help for scorecard situations
• the improved Azure maps visual

Note the new location for this event: the new Microsoft Reactor at their Paddington office, Paddington Central, 2 Kingdom St, London, W2 6BD. (Please remember the old location in Shoreditch is closed!)
