Dear Community,

BI is a bit like cycling, not only does Bicycle start with the same letters (bad pun), its something that is easily learned, looks simple from the outside, bu the deeper you go into the details the more interesting it gets. Just pulling a few numbers and drop them to the users, what can be so difficult.

Like in in cycling, what seems so easy in the Television, (watching the World Championchips in Glasgow at the moment), needs a lot of thinking, building a team, getting the right tools etc. and like in Cycling there is a great community that can help you speed up your own development and avoid challenges. So thank you for your support and questions. So what happened in the past three weeks.
