Influence is something that is hard to understand and measure.
I have some level of influence inside Redgate, but I don't always make decisions. My requests (or complaints) are weighed against other things happening. With just my opinion, it's hard to move things along.
Having some of you complain directly creates additional pressure. It doesn't mean things will change, or that they'll fix everything. You all must see this in your jobs, that not everything goes how you want, or gets done when you want it. There are always competing priorities and not enough resources. You influence some things, and not others. You don't necessarily have complete power or can make decisions. That's where I am.
Having any, all, a few of you email the department will raise the level of awareness and create some pressure.
Supposedly they are working on a plan and schedule with internal people to do some upgrades and get a contractor of some sort to help, but I don't want that to fall to the side. We have a few people on holiday this week and next, but your emails will influence them when they return.

Understood. Thanks for the feedback, Steve.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

You should start a thread about that 😉
On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Would anyone be prepared to help me with a few (seemingly) simple DAX questions?
I've been reading up and searching for answers, but can't seem to find the right way to get what I want.

Eirikur, many thanks for the offer.
Excellent timing on your part, by the way, as I solved my issues approximately 30 minutes before your message arrived!
Spent a lot of time on filtering and aliasing … things which I can do in a flash in T-SQL … and got there in the end.
My users are, so far, impressed with the results – I won't be telling them how many painful hours it took.

No but I have raised this kind of risks several times in the passed in assessments.

If software is operating with GLP (Good Like Powers) on any system, something is wrong in the system's design!

We didn't but a couple vendor did. But, afterwards I was surprised one had suffered the outage when I found inadvertently found out that their production SQL Server is running 10.50.4339.0 (go on, check when that release came out), so was "impressed" they had been affected by a release day patch...
(Un)fortunately, the difficult question now is how quickly can I get the company to bin that dumpster fire...
