Hi, It'd be great to add a feature that lets you set a fixed width for the column in the table settings.   Thank you, Andrea ... View more

The current card visual forces users to overlap elements or waste copious amounts of time creating custom visuals. The new card feature should give users the ability to create multiple cards in a single container and provide a greater level of customization. ... View more

It would be beneficial to incorporate features from Pivot tables that allow for the expansion and collapse of columns and hierarchical column groups within tabular visuals. This would not only solve the current limitations of matrices but also provide report creators with the flexibility to hide and show rows and columns, saving these settings for future use, thus eliminating the need to scroll through irrelevant data. ...

Enabling customized calculations at the query level for subtotals and grand totals would offer greater flexibility in reporting and preserve performance. Efficient organization of control settings to modify the style of these totals separately will empower report creators to achieve their desired appearance, while addressing their need for more control and customization in reporting. ...

Imagine a world where report creators can automatically apply slicer and filter selections based on specific logic, revolutionizing data analysis and user experience. This innovative approach eliminates any need for complex workarounds, optimizes slicer functionality, and paves the way for more efficient and effective data reporting. ... View more

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions. ...

Enabling automatic or scheduled mirroring of OneLake data across Azure regions would significantly enhance the platform's suitability for global enterprise scenarios. Key benefits of this capability include: Improved resilience through cross-region redundancy for disaster recovery and high availability Reduced latency by allowing data access from geographically closer regions Simplified data operations, eliminating the need for manual synchronization via Dataflow Gen2 or ADF pipelines Potential cost optimization, especially if replication avoids outbound data transfer charges Recommended configuration options: Selecting destination regions for mirroring Choosing between read-only and read/write replicas Defining sync intervals (e.g., near real-time, hourly, daily) This feature would align OneLake with enterprise expectations for multi-region data availability and performance. ...

Problem: Currently, when a dataset is connected to a Lakehouse as a datasource in Power BI Fabric, it defaults to a cloud connection mapped to SSO. In embedded mode, reports built on these datasets fail due to a lack of identity, as they do not inherit authentication from the service principal. To resolve this, users must manually adjust the datasource settings via the Power BI service https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/direct-lake-fixed-identity   Proposed Solution: Introduce a new REST API or extend the current API functionality to allow programmatic setting (or re-setting) of the connection to the service principal, including updating datasources. Benefits: Automates the process, reducing manual intervention Minimizes downtime for embedded reports Enhances developer experience and deployment efficiency Ensures consistency in authentication settings across different environments Impact: This feature will significantly improve the workflow for organizations embedding Power BI reports using service principals, ensuring seamless and automated datasource authentication. ...

I would like to be able to grant write permissions on a directory-by-directory basis to individual users or target groups in OneLake's "Manage OneLake Data Access."   Currently, "Manage OneLake Data Access" only has settings for "Read" and "ReadAll."   The roles that are automatically granted write permissions are the "Workspace Admin Role," "Member Role," and "Contributor Role." However, as the above are write permissions for the entire lake house, please add a function to grant write permissions on a directory-by-directory basis. ... View more

The primary axis are outdated and require significant improvement when compared to Excel. This makes it difficult for report creators and often leads to problems when trying to manage and style them effectively. By offering more format settings, greater control over displayed data can be provided, especially if axis ticks, new gridlines, and separators are also included. ... View more

Make it possible to write SparkSQL without having a Default Lakehouse.   With 3- or 4- part naming, i.e. [workspace].[lakehouse].[schema].[table]    there should be no need to attach a Lakehouse in order to use SparkSQL.   Needing to attach a Lakehouse is annoying and adds extra complexity. ...

Monitor report usage metrics - Power BI | Microsoft Learn   Referring to the steps in the document above, after creating the Power BI usage metrics, I performed the following steps: 1. Specified a new semantic model "Report Usage Metrics Model" as the data source from Power BI Desktop. 2. Switched to the model view and clicked "Make changes to this model" from the menu to change to DirectQuery mode. After changing the storage mode to "DirectQuery" with the above steps,   I can check the storage mode from "Properties," but it is grayed out, confirming that the storage mode cannot be changed.   The storage mode is grayed out. I understand that the "Usage Metric Report" is read-only, so there are limitations in functionality, but it would be convenient if the storage mode could be changed, so I will submit this as a request for improvement. ...

It would be really useful to have security settings to show or hide individual report pages. Currently, audiences control access only at the report level, not per page. ... View more

It’s challenging and time-consuming for both new and experienced report creators to organize data when trying to split cards into categories. By introducing small multiples, it could be a familiar and easy way for report creators to intuitively categorize data, especially if they had more control over layout and formatting. ... View more
