RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

Update 10/17: This is now in our upcoming roadmap and we will share more details in the coming months. Mo

March 2022 Update: This is in our plans, no timeline as of yet but we are working on it

I am still in disbelief this doesn't exists. I feel like I am using a BI tool from 1990. This should have been an out of the box function the first day this tool was released.

Please add this as soon as possible! Workspaces are becoming increasingly busy and difficult to manage. Filtering between dataflows, datasets, reports etc is also only available in the filter dropdown (it used to be icons in the menu) and this adds additional clicks.

There is a lot of excitement over Power BI, but I think this could quickly change because finding/Organizing content is limited to one level of workspaces.

This is causing us to create so many workspaces and then with the pipelines its blowing up even larger number of workspaces. Apps are great, but I don't think Apps meets all of our needs, and it just feels like it adds an additional layer of complexity.

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

Can we please have an update of when this feature will be available?


We have many requests from clients for this on their governance projects and the discussion ALWAYS end up as "oh well, we'll just use Crystal then, they've been able to do this for years" - please please please, make this feature happen, many of us need this to be able to sell Power BI (Fabric), and this is a big blocker for us.


The simplified licensing and costing of Fabric has piqued everyone's curiosity, but they run away when I tell them we can't do folders in the workspaces yet, and I can't tell them when or if it will be available.


We are leaking customers to the competitors because of this, please make it happen, sooner rather than later - and most importantly, let us know when.


Thanks Heaps

Yes, a way of sorting workspace into a folder structure becomes an even more desired feature facing the new item types in the workspace, as Ryan Cox mentioned earlier. Dear Administrator, please provide an update on this and put additional pressure on introducing this feature.

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

Let me get this straight, in 2017 it was in the "upcoming roadmap" but then, as of 2022 - 5 years later - it is not in the timeline?


How do you determine what is in the roadmap?

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

So we now have Fabric, which introduces additional items in workspaces such as pipelines and dataflows, yet still no ability to organise content into folders.
