dealing with a "newer" application from the evil empire. *cough* powerBI *cough*
Stupid memory hog and a half.
Ok it does do easy pretty well. It also does pretty fairly well.
But none of that is what annoys me. Right now the biggest annoyance is the stupid interface that doesn't accept hotkeys. Close the current BI worksheet/data you would think control F4 or perhaps Ctrl-W Nope. You have to close the entire application.
Also, Alt-F-S you would think that would save. Nope Alt DOES NOT EVEN WORK!
Why the heck?
MS spent years teaching everyone to use the Alt Key and the Control key and now they take them away.
Just annoying.
But back to the closing of the current workbook. So I have to close the entire application before I can open another workbook. Or I have to have two workbooks open at the same time before I can close another one. and since this is a huge memory hog. Wellllllllll.
1 out of 5 would not recommend.

But what are you meaning by closing the current workbook?, are you meaning the current tab in the report designer?

nope I mean closing whatever project I am currently working on. It would be the same as closing a project in Visual Studio or closing an Excel Workbook or closing a database in Access, or a presentation in powerpoint.
You simply cannot close the current document etc... without closing the entire application and there are no hotkeys to do anything. Everything is a mouse click.

In Power BI, you are always going to work with one document (in this case the report) or the Workbook in Excel. This report can then have multiple tabs (called pages which you would call sheets in Excel).
You can not close individual pages the same way you can not close individual sheets in an Excel workbook.

did you read my response or my question? seriously did you actually take the time to read it?
I only want to work in one project/report/document at a time. I just want to be able to close the flipping report and leave PowerBI open so I can open the next one I want to work on. That is all.
Also, I simply want ALL freaking hotkeys to actually work. Alt-F(ile)-S(ave) should work dang nabbit.
Ctrl-F4 should close it.
Please read my question before replying. I would appreciate it.Thanks

Maybe yes am misinterpreting your questions but then again, in visual studio is it possible to close an open project and leave visual studio open?

Now I just learnt 1 more VS keyboard shortcut today. Probably there exists an equivalent one in Power BI.

I am going to apologize for my rough language in an earlier post. I am sorry about that. I am very annoyed with MS right now. Even though that is not an excuse.
Sorry about that.

You can not close individual tabs the same way you can not close individual sheets in an Excel workbook.
But you can close the workbook in Excel and leave Excel still open.

I would bet it is still supported... 
|
|
|
|

not that I can tell. I hit the Alt key and nothing highlights so that makes me suspicious that it isn't supported.

I have a licensed copy of Win10 that I run via VirtualBox VM (under my main Ubuntu OS).
Now, I'm checking to see if I can just upgrade it to Win11.
I ran the PC Health Check and got the following (questionable) results[^].
Why is the System Disk thing marked with a red [X]? It states that it needs to be 64GB or larger, but then shows that the disk is 69GB? I just expanded the disk size to be 64GB so...??
I wonder if I'll even be able to do this because Ubuntu doesn't require TPM (my system supports it) and may not boot up if I turn on TPM, right?
It's all a bit confusing.
Has anyone tried this (running win10 from VM & upgrading to win11)?

What VM software do you use? QEMU supports TPM emulator...
Also Ubuntu should work fine with TPM on on the chip level since Bionic Beaver...
Also there is TPM emulator package for Ubuntu since then that you can use to test the effects of TPM without actually turning it on...
With all that - I do not have Windows anymore, not even in VM...

Fantastic info. I will investigate further. Thanks very much.
I’ve been running the Win10 vm via oracle virtualbox.
I wonder if there is a way to reuse the virtualbox image in qemu?
Thanks again

There are tools to convert virtualbox images to qemu... Make some search to find one that fits...

This may actually be the disk error even though it's reporting a size issue.

I have been a CPian for over 15 years now. That's a long long time. I have learnt quite a lot here. Not just programming but life in general. Lots of funny posts, popcorn demanding arguments, arrival and departure of some forums. Looking forward to next 15!
