I’ve been putting it off forever, but I finally created my GitHub account.
After countless cycles of opening GitHub, feeling overwhelmed, and promptly closing the tab, I’ve now created my account and published my first repositories. What made the difference? A bit of patience, a bit of determination… and a lot of help from Copilot, which guided me through each step (including all the “wait, what does this button do?” moments).
My GitHub profile: Juls-BI
What’s New in My Repositories
1. Power Query Custom Functions for Data Quality
This repository contains two functions I developed last year to simplify column quality checks in Power BI:
- NumberQualityControl – Validates numeric-like values under a chosen culture (e.g., en-GB or en-US).
- DateQualityControl – Performs culture-aware date validation.
Both functions help ensure cleaner, more reliable data, without the repetitive manual checks.
2. Dynamic Alternative Text UDFs
Built to support accessibility efforts in Power BI, this project includes DAX User Defined Functions that generate dynamic alternative text automatically.
They’re the same UDFs I introduced in a recent blog post:
Automating Alt Text in Power BI with DAX User‑Defined Functions
More is on the way soon, including the custom functions and UDFs used in my colour contrast checker, along with a detailed blog post to go with them.
