The ability to circle (lasso) an area on a chart, pivot, map, etc. to filter/drill down on data. The filter should functionally filter all charts on the current dashboard page.

Very important feature. Especially when using Maps or Scatter Graphs. I was previously using this in Tibco Spotfire and was of great use. Hope to see it soon in PBI.

This is a key feature for us missing in PBI. Qlik provides this native out of box. its a powerful capability for business users to use when driving into the why of a problem.

This feature is especially useful in the map context, as it is often hard to filter on data points that are closely related by geo location, but not necessarily sharing other attributes. This feature is for example essential for network providers that need to identify how the reach or influence of collocated equipment is. Please consider to add this at least to maps.

I'm not sure this exactly suits your needs but the SandDance custom visual offers a similar functionality. Each data point is represented as a 'grain of sand' on the chart and you can see the associated attributes of selected 'grains'. It works particularly well with outlier data
