Board games at The Forge

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

CBusData - Translytical Task Flows: So Much More Than Write-Back

Translytical Task Flows: So Much More Than Write-Back When was the last time a dashboard made you reach for your phone to film it? By the end of this 45-minute session, you will want to. With Microsoft introducing Translytical Task Flows, Power BI now has a native Fabric-backed pattern for write-back. Update that row. Approve that line item. Override that forecast. These are all things we have wanted, and they are wonderful. If you are not using Translytical Task Flows for that, start Monday. But there is more. So much more. That button connects to Fabric User Data Functions, and it is not just a write-back widget. It is serverless Python running directly in Fabric. You can pass report context and user input into governed business logic, access Fabric data sources through managed connections, inspect the verified caller’s identity metadata, call external APIs when appropriate, and do it without standing up a separate API server. Write-back is just the beginning. What happens when the button is not constrained to a table update? What happens when it can reach past your warehouse, past your tenant, and into the systems and services your business actually runs on, while still answering the question of who clicked it? That is what this session is about. What you'll see, no spoilers: One button in Power BI. Nothing pre-recorded. Nothing pre-canned. All live, in front of you.
