About this site

This is my collection of links related to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 application (which some of you still may remember by the former name Microsoft Dynamics CRM). You can browse through the links by using the categories menu. The latest link additions can be found from below.

Although it is hosted on WordPress.com, this site is not an actual blog. You can find my thoughts on Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365 from a blog hosted elsewhere, called Thinking Forward.

Simplify the creation of Power BI reports from the OData feed of Dynamics 365 with this tool that automatically maps option set and lookup values, renames columns with Dynamics 365 field labels, enables the use of system and personal views as query criteria, overcomes the FetchXML paging limit.

Update: now also available as an XrmToolBox plugin.
