Fabric Ideas

It would be nice if we could trigger a Data Pipeline when a file is created/modified in a Sharepoint Folder. Currently we need to work around this by setting up a Power Automate Flow or a Logic App to be triggered on the Sharepoint changes, then trigger the Data Pipeline in Fabric. I would like to have a Sharepoint Event trigger instead as one of the trigger options within Fabric ... View more

I want to be able to edit a Direct Lake semantic model and Power BI report at the same time, in the same instance of Power BI desktop. Similar to the default behavior when creating an import mode report.   With Direct Lake, we don't have a report view when editing a semantic model. Instead, we need to create a thin report.   Problems with thin reports are:   - whenever a measure changes name in the semantic model, the report breaks  - whenever a measure changes its base table, the report breaks - etc.   Working with a semantic model and a report in the same instance of Power BI Desktop is much more pleasant and a much smoother experience, because the measure names automatically get updated in the report when a change is made in the semantic model.   Particularly when developing a report, where changes are frequently made (we work agile), this would be a huge benefit.   Currently, this is a reason for me to use Import Mode instead of Direct Lake mode.   Alternatively: make the child reports (thin reports) reference the lineage tag of a measure, so that the thin report won't break even if the measure name changes. ...

• Data Pipelines in Microsoft Fabric are built on Azure Data Factory. When a pipeline writes data to OneLake or other destinations, it leverages ADF's managed infrastructure and integration runtime, which handles connectivity differently and does not rely on the same DNS resolution path as DF.  • Dataflows Gen 2, are built on Power Query and run using the on-premises data gateway infrastructure, it executes the queries from the environment where the gateway is installed. The network configuration and DNS resolution of the gateway host (in this case, your GCP VM) directly impacts the ability to connect to external services like SQL Server." Currently, For Dataflow DNS team need to open direct conenction (*.datawarehouse.pbidedicated.windows.net, *.datawarehouse.fabric.microsoft.com) via DNS exception. Large companies does not allow to open this connection instead they ask Product to work with proxy setting on server to open.  Requesting Power BI team to have similar setting like Datapipeline to Dataflow. ...

The Power BI Fabric Free Trial for 60 days license should be reactivated if it is cancelled before the 60 days are up. If the free trial is cancelled before the 60 days, there should be an option to continue using it for the remaining days. Sometimes, people may accidentally cancel the trial. It would be highly appreciated if there is an option to reactivate the trial. ... View more

Currently, the Fabric Data Factory Invoke Pipeline task uses the user's credentials who saved the pipeline to then authenticate to the Azure Data Factory to execute the ADF pipeline.  When that user's password is modified, the token expires and the Fabric Data Factory pipeline must be modified and saved for the Invoke Pipeline tasks to begin working again.   I would like to suggest that there be an option in the Invoke Pipeline Task to use the Fabric Workspace Identity, or specify a Service Principal for authentication to ADF.   Without this change, production Data Factory Pipelines will fail to execute after the owner changes their password. ...

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

Please take measures to prevent library inconsistencies from occurring due to automatic updates when the version of a dependent library is changed.   For example, an upgrade to the marshmallow library 4.0.0 used internally by azure-ai-ml was released and automatically updated. As a result, a process that had been running in the morning could no longer be executed in the afternoon due to an inconsistency with azure-ai-ml. ... View more

I’d like to suggest adding an option to make the Grand Total row or column "sticky" in the Matrix visual, particularly when using Tabular mode. Currently, when there is a lot of data and you scroll vertically or horizontally, the Grand Total disappears off-screen. This makes it difficult for users to quickly reference totals without manually scrolling all the way back. It would be extremely helpful if the Matrix could have a setting that keeps the Grand Total bar pinned (similar to a frozen pane in Excel), regardless of the scrolling position. Ideally, this would work for both: The Grand Total row (staying visible at the bottom while vertical scrolling) The Grand Total column (staying visible on the right while horizontal scrolling) This feature would make large matrices much more user-friendly, especially in Tabular mode where users often work with wide, detailed tables. Thanks for considering this improvement! ... 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. ...

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.
