When you export from PowerBI to Powerpoint, you can either embed it as a PBI (which is a potential performance issue and may not represent the snapshot in time you care about), or as a picture - which is not editable. It would be ideal to be able to export a PBI to a slide that is made of up editable objects (i.e. tables are tables, cards are text boxes, etc) so that simple things like formatting, colors, or label changes are easy to accomplish.

I would like to request full support connection from power bi service to azure databricks via Private Link without the need for deploying a vnet or on-premise gateway which could be potential bottlenecks.

Integrate a chat UI for AI skills into organizational apps and make it available to users. Developers can provide a query interface to users without needing to set up Copilot Studio or AI Foundry

It would bereally helpful if we had an option to add notes or comments beside each individual visuals in Power BI. This notes could be dynamic based on filters/slicers and even included in reports. Right now, smart narratives or textboxes doesn't serve this purpose well, when we want to explain visuals seperately.A small notes sections per visual would improve make reports meaningful. For example: We might want to add a short explanation of the numbers or highlight a trend that users should notice-especially when sharing reports with clients or leadership who may not know the background.

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.

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.

When multiple ungrouped slicers are selected and copied to another page, the option to sync slicers is available. If those slicers are in a group and said group is copied, that option no longer exists. I like to set up a slicer page and have it sync across the whole report. Syncing all the slicers in the group would reduce clicks and allow me to quickly copy the slicers to other pages and set them as hidden.

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.

Hi everyone, After updating my Desktop application to the March release, I’ve encountered an odd issue. With the new card visual object, dynamic SVG images don’t appear unless categories are added using the newly implemented feature. This is quite a departure from previous versions, where SVG images displayed seamlessly without any need for further adjustments. I’m wondering if others have experienced something similar. Could this be a known bug, or does it potentially stem from new update settings? While the option to add categories is certainly useful, it seems to introduce an extra complication that didn’t exist before. If you’ve run into the same problem or discovered a workaround, please share your experience. Discussing different approaches could really benefit others facing this snag. If this turns out to be a bug, let's hope Microsoft resolves it in upcoming updates. Looking forward to your thoughts! Kind regards, Jerry

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.

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. By offering more format settings, greater control over displayed data can be provided, especially if axis ticks, new gridlines, and separators are also included.

The customer requires key pair authentication for Snowflake as their organization no longer allows the use of usernames and passwords. Since Power BI does not support key pair authentication, this feature is needed in upcoming updates.

With the debut of DAX Query View and TMDL Script View, there should be an API to retrieve these files. This capability would enable organizations to automate testing and deployments by programmatically accessing DAX Queries and TMDL scripts. For example, a Notebook could iterate over semantic models in a workspace, retrieve DAX Queries for testing, and execute those tests using semantic-link. If tests fail, teams could take corrective actions based on the results.

One of the use case of Kusto functions is to abtract underlying table schema/data changes etc. But with the permissions at database level, there is no way to hide/restrict direct usage of tables. Users are able to view all entities (tables, functions etc) within database and able to explore and access. When we change table schema, it may break if they are directly accessing table. It would be good to have security role which restricts at entity level (e.g provide access to function but not tables). Also in the ADX ideas

OPENROWSET function can read the files from Azure Data Lake storage or Azure Blob storage. It would be useful to enable OPENROWSET to also read files form Fabric One Lake and access the files in Lakehouse /Files area.

I currently trigger my dataset refreshes using the Power BI REST API. However, to avoid overwhelming the system, I can't refresh all reports at the same time. This means I have to constantly poll the API to check the refresh status of each dataset before triggering more. This approach isn't efficient and puts unnecessary load on both the client and the Power BI service. It would be much better if we had the option to configure a webhook that notifies us when a dataset refresh is completed. That way, we could trigger subsequent refreshes or downstream processes only when needed—without continuous API calls. Please consider adding webhook support for dataset refresh completion events!

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.

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.

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.
