Data God Qualifications:
Not only are both Michael and Seth Microsoft Power BI MVP's, but they have transformed Power BI work into an art form. The content they build are works of beauty and style. Turning a mere report into a Business Intelligence Application. The best part? They do this in a way that others can duplicate, imitate, learn from, and extend. The Power BI community broadly has benefited from the work of both Michael and Seth.
Gods of Light & Color
Power BI Tips has two excellent Theme generators that can be used to bring consistency and customization to your reporting. Why go into Git and generate the theme code yourself, when you have these two excellent resources.
Theme Generator
- helps you create an underlying Power BI theme with up to 8 of your company's brand colors.
Report Theme Generator - helps you bring consistency and customization to all of the standard visuals within Power BI.
Gods of Custom Visuals
Michael and Seth also built out a tool that can generate a Custom Visual for you without having to learn how to write Javascript. Hooray!
The Community of the Gods
Seth and Michael do a great deal to help out the Power BI Community at large. Not only do they provide all of the great resources listed above, but they also manage the Milwaukee Power BI User Group.
Seth and Mike also host the blog content for many leaders and visionaries in the Power BI space.
(If you don't know Phil Seamark or Steven Campbell... well, I guess I may have to write a post about them too.)
Data God Fun Fact #1:
Unlike most Microsoft MVP's, who are nearly all consultants, Mike received his MVP designation when working as an employee at Johnson Controls. Mike's love for all things Power BI was a beacon of like for those MVP nominations.
Data God Fun Fact #2:
Seth has a unique background too. Seth's background includes being a certified sommelier and has his Bacholer of Arts in Art! Now we know why Seth's Power Bi reports look so good! Seth approaches report design with the eye of an artist at work.
