Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “We exported this data and then worked on it in the sample Analyzing Desktop Performance Logs.pbix file.”

A block of code is set as follows:

{
   "version":"1.1.0",
   "events":[
     {
       "name":"User Action",
       "component":"Report Canvas",
       "start":"2021-09-03T03:53:22.139Z",
       "id":"a702542d7cbbcd9b37a0",
       "metrics":{
         "sourceLabel":"UserAction_StartedMonitoring"
        }
    },

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$json = Get-PowerBIActivityEvent -StartDateTime $StartDate-EndDateTime $EndDate | ConvertFrom-Json

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Initial architectural choices can help with the cost, but the Software as a Service (Saas) structure of Power BI enables many easy and fast ways to adjust the service behind reports or dashboards”
