Managing a Power BI environment can be frustrating.
Our database changes a name of a column, where is that used in our reports? Do I need to open them all? Who do I contact?
We know that bi-directional filtering is best not-done, but how do we know it is used? Can we find that?
Using Semantic link, a free python library we can use in Fabric Notebooks, even someone with little to no Python experience can save a lot of time finding answers to these questions.
Come and see how semantic link can help you out like it did for me.

Shut Up & Write!® in Doorn
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

**➡️ Presentatie: Zo maak je je website toegankelijker - Daniel Tara**
Vanaf juni is het voor veel organisaties verplicht om te voldoen aan regels voor digitale toegankelijkheid. Wil jij je website een stukje toegankelijker maken, maar schrik je je kapot van de richtlijnen, en heb je geen idee waar je moet beginnen? Daniël geeft praktische tips om mee te beginnen, en legt uit hoe je met enkele simpele aanpassingen een bezoek aan jouw website al wat soepeler kun maken voor iemand met een beperking.
*Disclaimer: Toegankelijkheid is ontzettend breed en uitgebreid. Ook al pas je alles toe wat je leert tijdens deze avond, het is geen garantie dat je aan de wetgeving voldoet.*
**➡️ Wil jij een presentatie geven tijdens deze (of een volgende meetup) stuur ons dan een bericht of mail naar spreken@wpm024.nl !**
**Inschrijven**
Inschrijven is gratis en kan alleen via [onze [meetup.com](http://meetup.com/)](https://www.meetup.com/wordpress-meetup-nijmegen/)-pagina.
**Gedragsregels**
We volgen de regels zoals deze zijn beschreven op [https://make.wordpress.org/handbook/community-code-of-conduct/](https://make.wordpress.org/handbook/community-code-of-conduct/).
Bij vragen hierover kan je terecht bij de hosts van deze meetup.
International Get Together over a 'biertje'
Hoi!
Are you an international or an \*internationally minded Dutchie\* from Naarden, Bussum, Almere & surrounding villages?
Do you miss the international vibes from Amsterdam or from your home country?
Do you feel like meeting new internationally minded people?
If so, we’d love to have you join our next free Meetup! 😀
We meet up every 6 weeks for a chat, a drink and/ or a bitterbal. There are normally around 10-15 people who assist our events, ranging from countries such as France, India, Netherlands, China, Sweden, Ukraine, South Africa, Russia, and we are still welcoming new countries every event. Some people are regulars and some are new to the event. Everyone is welcome!
The location will be the beautiful Vesting Hotel in Naarden.
Hope to meet you soon!

Shut Up & Write! [Amsterdam/ IJburg]
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at Factor-ij Amsterdam on Thursday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
11: 15 AM - Quick introductions
11: 30 AM - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
12: 30 PM - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 12:30 pm after the writing is wrapped. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Factor-ij!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Please come with your devices pre-charged, since we probably won't be always sitting somewhere with charging possibilities.
Other Important Details:
Travel by public transportation:
1. Take Tram 26 from the central station Amsterdam, and step out by the last stop.
2. Take bus 66 from the Amsterdam Bijlmer station, step out by Pieter Oosterhuisstraat, and further walk in the direction of the bus till the corner.
FREE Wifi.
Compulsory consumption is not required, but please do order a drink to honor our generous host.

9km hike around the Egelmeer from Veenendaal-West train station
Join us for a 9km walk in the beautiful East of the Utrecht Region. As the route will be taking us along the Egelmeer lake and Prattenburg estate, you may expect forest mixed with some heathlandscapes, which makes this a great walk if you want to get out in the nature.
The start and end point of this walk will be Veenendaal-West train station, where we'll be meeting right next to the platform where the train from Utrecht will arrive. We'll wait for the 10.40AM train to arrive and then depart at around 10.45AM. If you're arriving late, we won't let the whole group wait for you, but you can send a WhatsApp message to +31621177691 so we can send you our live location and you can try to catch up with us.
For those coming by car, there is a free parking right next to the station, at the Dichterslaan.
Please be aware that Veenendaal-West is just a small train station and there are no public toilets there. Also there are no public toilets on our route. Therefore please visit a restroom before arriving.
Do you think about joining, but you're not sure if it's something for you? Utrecht Hiking Community aims to organise one hike per month in or around Utrecht, often in collaboration with UR-Glocal, which organises expat activities in Utrecht Region. If you're in for a hike with a bunch of friendly other hiking enthusiasts, you're very welcome to join, no matter whether you're an expat, local, tourist, nomad, student, professional, beginner, alone or with friends. The hikes are a great way to meet people from different backgrounds while being active and out in nature. We call this 'Social Hiking'. If you love to hike fast, we might not be the right group for you though, as for us it's important that beginners can join and have a good time as well.
Dogs are allowed on almost the whole route, but need to be kept on a leash at several parts. At the end of the route there is one small part where dogs aren't allowed, but there's an easy little detour available.
If you want, you can join for a lunch afterwards in the snackbar/lunchroom next to the train station.
Participation in the hike is for free, but we do make some costs for it. Especially the yearly MeetUp subscribtion for organisers is quite expensive. Therefore, if you like the hike and would like to support us, a donation would be very welcome. Donations can be made using this link: https://www.ing.nl/payreq/m/?trxid=Mx3BLcfeIITcTMIHEHnpeAKKIFrWFukB
For an impression of this route or of our previous, please check and follow our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/utrecht.hiking.community
We hope to see you on Saturday in Veenendaal!
Shared Reading: Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life by Adam Phillips
We'll kick off this new Shared Reading group with the prologue to Adam Phillips' Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life. This group is a shared, interactive reading experience, so you do not have to purchase or to have read the book beforehand. Copies of the prologue, which is a few pages long, will be distributed at the event, and we will read key sections of this chapter together. The session will take place at the circular table in the cafe at Dekker v.d. Vegt, in the center of Nijmegen. In the event that there are more participants than expected, we will move to the long table. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Astra Rooftop
Hello everyone!
For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.
Quick housekeeping note: many restaurants require most of the party to be present before seating. No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesn’t show more than once, we’ll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone.
Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations 🍽️✨
