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

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. ...

I would like to be able to enter default values ​​that change depending on the period and without it "locking" the user to the default dates. For example: I would like my report to always display data from the beginning of the current year to the end of the current year and yet allow the user to switch to see the data for 2024 or only certain months in 2023 for example. And if we reached 2026 I would like the default dates to be between 01-01-2026 and 31-12-2026 ... View more

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. ...

We would like to use font Aptos in PowerBI. This is the new default font in Office 365, but it is not selectable in the PowerBI UI and it is also not possible to put it in a theme json file. The reason is that the Aptos font is not located in "C:\Windows\Fonts" but in "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FontCache\4\CloudFonts". It seems the theme json only supports fonts located in "C:\Windows\Fonts". ... View more

This idea is a request to provide cross-report drill-through capability for org apps. This means being able to navigate between reports hosted in different org apps. The following sections detail why this feature is important for "report navigation." # Some more details We understand a Power BI report as an item that provides users with insights regarding a specific topic. Sometimes, this report contains a semantic model; sometimes, it does not. Sometimes, the group of users is large, and sometimes, it's just me. This is about the relationships between reports and their connectedness. What this idea is not about: This is not about semantic models or the size of the group of users. This is also not about the seemingly everlasting question of whether to create multiple reports with a couple of pages each or one report with all the pages (on a personal note, I consider a one-report solution worse than the dreaded one-table semantic model). From my experience, it seems that when the number of pages gets beyond 12, it makes sense to spread the pages across multiple reports. # Navigating reports, or supporting the decision-making process of report users One of the many reasons reports exist is the simple fact that they are supporting decision-making. Many of my colleagues have feedback that using the cross-report drill-through feature makes it easy to navigate between reports inside the same app. This is important as it prevents "losing thoughts" because a user has to remember how to get to the next level of detail, look at the current context (the current filters) from a different perspective, or ... With org apps new capabilities will become available that will create even more meaningful solutions, but from my perspective it is necessary to enable navigation between reports located in different org apps but inside the same workspace. # Some reasons to spread pages across multiple reports This is a list of reasons why I suggest using multiple reports to my colleagues (not exhausting): + Completely different semantic models, except a few common dimensions like calendar, organization, or ... + I want to share reports with different audiences, but create only one app (currently I'm creating workspace apps). + Multiple report developers build the solution at the same time. + ... # Resources + https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-cross-report-drill-through ...

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. ...

Since Power BI allows the creation of vertically scrolling dashboards, it would be very useful to have an option to pin elements (such as headers, filters, or key metrics) so they remain visible while scrolling. This feature would improve usability and navigation, making dashboards more user-friendly and efficient. ... View more

As part of the INFO.VIEW.MEASURES() or INFO.VIEW.COLUMNS() table functions it would be great if a new column could be added to the table output that is a flag for whether the measure or column is in use anywhere in the workbook. The column would be similar to the IsHidden column.   This would facilitate cleaning up of workbooks greatly. ... 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

It’s challenging and time-consuming for both new and experienced report creators to organize data when trying to split cards into categories.

According to documentation, there can only be a maximum of 10 models with change detection measures in a Power BI tenant (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-automatic-page-refresh#considerations-and-limitations)   This feature is really important performance-wise when building reports based on direct queries. As limitations of Direct Query are applicable for datasets on SKU level (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/service-premium-what-is#semantic-model-sku-limitation) and are applicable only for Premium anyways, I believe this limitation should be migrated to the same capacity constrain.   ...
