Using Metrics in Power BI?

If we really were to say where Microsoft is putting their money, looking at major releases alone you would have to say the Power BI Metric / Scorecard feature has a good part of their budget.

Since it launched in May 2021, it has gone over some major transformations, especially since April 2022. 

It is an enterprise feature (integrates with Power Automate, Viva Goals, Full API Stack) and the roadmap shows clearly more automation is planned.

Yet.... It is not a simple plug-n-play tool. Mike, Seth, & Tommy discuss just that.
