Driving User Adoption - User Personas and User Journey Maps
When we say things like "casting a wide net" in the world of User Experience in most cases this isn't a good thing because it means the wider the net we cast the less we understand about the fish we catch. In the case of O365 Groups we have the power to create groups quickly, create focused content, manage permissions, etc., which is really amazing but the ability to do this in some cases gives false promises that we can just "start something" with the hopes of User Adoption and through Rapid-Adaptation maintain or even build User Adoption. While it is true that being able to quickly adapt to "new" User Needs helps to "build" User Adoption, the problem is that the psychological effects of a Negative Experience are hard to repair for "current" users once they have casted a ballot on UX. A good way to go about solving this problem before actually having Negative User Experiences occur is to create Macro User Personas and then couple them with User Journey Maps of the O365 Groups that we are trying to build an experience around. User Personas and Journey Maps have been around forever and are used in the UX community on a daily basis. The really powerful concept here is that we are still able to rapidly adapt experiences around our users faster and better than ever before thanks to Microsoft making infrastructures smarter and faster but with User Personas and User Journey Maps it gives us the ability to better understand the "emotional connections" of our users and what actually makes them tick. As an example, think about knowing the answer to these questions prior to starting any project then couple the idea with constructing an O365 Group.

Visual and dax level optimization that causes report slowdown
Hi, I have this visual as attached, that has lot of visual level filters applied it has a dax measure called data completeness as below Data Completeness = var _total = COUNT('Calendar'[Date])*COUNT(Points[DBName-Point_Id]) var _result = [Count of Exisitng Days]/_total return _result It references a dax called Count of Exisitng Days as below Count of Exisitng Days = Var dates = SUMMARIZE(Data, Data[DBName-Point_Id], Data[Date]) Var Ext_dates = COUNTROWS(dates) return Ext_dates Now, the problem I have here is the performance of this visual is causing report to slow down. Please let me know how to optimize the dax and further steps to increase the performance PFA file here PR-419 - Data Coverage - Copy.pbix Thanks in advance! SergeiBaklan
Planner Hyperlinks via Flow's Update Task Details
Greetings all, I have multiple planners that I administer. It is a common desire to have dynamically created hyperlinks added to the planner board tasks that take you to the SharePoint List's line item that was used for creating the task. I have used a power automate flow (solution) for creating said task and hyperlinks from line items. I have used power automate's update task details action to add those dynamic hyperlinks. However, for some unknown reason it also doubles the size of the card with a huge hyperlink to open the task (although the original card hyperlink still works). Why? You can see examples of it in this video at the 13:41 mark. The Planning and Executing columns have tasks with these huge unnecessary task opening links added. Why? And how can a person get rid of those since it seems to be a built in function of the flow action OR the Planner to have that? Having all that extra space taken for no reason just limits the number of tasks that can be on view at any time. I have researched and found blurbs about utilizing an Graph API tool but I'm not granted server access to implement such a thing. Is there another way around this that can be done to have said hyperlinks that DON'T create those huge extra links that are totally unnecessary? Thanks for any assistance on the matter, McGeeks
Can we get Schedule view back?
When showing off Planner to a group of people today they noticed on an older, different plan the Schedule view, and really liked it. Of course, what I was showing them doesn't have that option anymore. Is it possible to to get this view back or if necessary, a "monthly" option within the "Timeline" view? Thanks

I can't swipe sheets with two fingers in Excel. Something is wrong.
Dear Experts, System: Windows 11. I can't swipe sheets with two fingers in Excel 2021. Something is wrong. When I move the sheets of the workbook to the right or left with two fingers on the touchpad, as soon as I lift my fingers off the touchpad, the sheet returns to its original position. I don’t understand why this is happening. This situation makes it difficult to select the required sheet. Initial state: I scroll through pages with two fingers using the touchpad and select the required sheet: After selecting the required sheet, as soon as I lifted my fingers off the touchpad, the sheets returned to their initial state:Combining Two dax measures to avoid dax reference
Hi Team, I have created two dax codes as below: Related_(Target cost)_1 = VAR TargetValue = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Target[Value] ), 'Target'[DBName-Point_id] = MAX ( 'Accruals'[DBName-Point_Id] ) && 'Target'[TargetType] = 1 && 'Target'[month] = FORMAT ( MAX ( 'Accruals'[Date] ), "mmmm" ) ) VAR days = SUMX ( 'Accruals', TargetValue ) RETURN --days/[no of days] COALESCE ( days / [no of days], 0 ) Target cost_1 = SUMX ( 'Accruals', COALESCE ( [Related_(Target cost)_1], 0 ) ) Their results individually as shown below Is it possible to merge these dax measures into a single dax ? Also, final values at the total & column will be same as below ? I am doing this in order to avoid the reference of measures within another dax. Please help me. Thanks in advance! SergeiBaklan
