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

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.

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?

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.

As simple as this is, this would help user experience significantly. Please move this up the roadmap!

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

Any update on this? This feature would be SO helpful as we end up needing to create new workspaces for sub groups - which can be a lot of workspaces. For Power BI to be a proper "enterprise tool", folder structures within workspaces w/security is a must have. This should be top of the enhancement list - Please post an update with timeline.

Microsoft - this would be the single biggest QOL improvement you could make to PowerBI. Can we please get this as soon as possible?
