Fabric Ideas

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

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

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

User creates a Materialized view in EH. Have the ability to make that MV available in OneLake. The workaround is for the the application to copy over the MV on a periodic basis to Onelake. I would like this capability in the platform.  ... View more

Need an feature to  Enable or Disable all datasets Refreshes at Once from Tenant settings or have an Admin API in acheving the same task.  Currently, there is option to enable to cancel for specific Dataset and API too but want in one feature for all datasets in a workspace or all workspaces to run in one shot.  ...

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.   ...

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

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

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

If your company is serious about citizen development, you've got to be serious about endorsement! Users need to quickly find which reports and models are reliable. If you agree and want to make this easier, read on and vote for this idea! 📈   It can be tough to provide good governance and endorsement of data, while also facilitating smooth citizen development. Difficult problem to solve... but it's already been solved! I'm proposing a 5-star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐rating scale for models and reports.   Lots of other platforms use a 5-star rating scale to allow the best products to bubble up organically to a user's recommended results. Amazon is a great example of a platform that ensures quality while allowing just about anyone to create content. Suppose I want to create an Amazon store and start listing products. What's to stop me? They could be good products, could be bad -- no one knows at first until the first few orders and reviews start trickling in. Eventually, time will tell. If I have a "4.9 star" product with 1500 votes, and someone else has a competing "2.5 star" product with 30 votes, which one are you more likely to buy? I'm more likely to go with the product more people have reviewed and affirmed.   Replace that Amazon product with a report or model. If my CFO sees a "4.9 star" report with 1500 votes, and another "2.5 star" report with 30 votes, which one is she more likely to trust? Of course administrators can add endorsements, but when user content volume becomes too high to curate each citizen-developed item, this organic scale can help consumers make better educated decisions about where they should put their trust. ...

If Fabric shortcuts has ability to point to specific version of underlying delta files, we could easily implement versioning in ETL process. Currenly Data Engineering solutions implement custom versioning solutions to provide good quality data downstreams. If Fabric can provide that feature in built, that would greatly reduce development efforts. Also, everyone can follow standard approach. ... 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. ...

It would be very useful if users could restore their own bookmarks in Power BI, and if report administrators had the ability to restore all user bookmarks.   There have been instances where users lost all their bookmarks after an application update. Having a way to recover them would significantly improve the user experience and prevent data loss. ... View more

Hi,   Currently, it is not possible to trigger a Fabric notebook run via the REST API, when the notebook is communicating with a lakehouse that has schemas enabled.   This feature is marked as 'Public preview', but there are several threads suggesting a fix would have been in place by late 2024: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Data-Engineering/Error-when-writing-data-into-schema-enabled-lakehouse-using/td-p/4111069   The workaround suggested does not work either. It seems very strange that it works without the schemas enabled. The underlying issue seems to be:   INFO notebookUtils [Thread-62]: [FabricClient][ListWorkspaceByMssparkutils][get] Completed request url https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/ with correlation id X, requestId: X, activityId: , status code: 403, total cost 173ms, request cost 166ms   A timeline of when this feature would be supported will be appreciated.   Regards,   Oliver ...

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
