Link to report tab from dashboard
Currently dashboard tiles can be linked to a report but will always open the default tab. Please open to the tab that the tile visualisation comes from by default, and also add the ability to choose a custom tab.
Need better visualisations
Power BI visuals are functional but a bit of the basic side, lacking in "wow factor" that is a large part of the appeal for tools such as Tableau and even some open source dashboarding tools. Please do not rely on the community to build visualisations the same way Microsft relied on the commu...
Allow full screen report with no tack ons
As Dashboard functionality is severely limited, the only way to build a seriously attractive "dashboard" is as a Report. This generally involves using a custom background and works best when presented in absolute full screen. No Page bar, no Filters bar, no navigation (although it would be nic...
A bit smarter on deciding to reload data when editing queries

Desktop appears to have an issue with Count and Count Distinct applied to values (e.g. of an Area Chart) showing different results even though the source column has all unique values. This occurs when the source column is of generic alphanumeric type. Changing the type to number resolves the ...
Batch processing of reports in Service
It would be useful if reports, particularly those using the same data source, could be batched so that a single start time is set and they run one at a time.
Support TOP and ORDER BY for Cosmos DB queries
Why is the query even parsed in Power BI and not just passed straight through to Cosmos?
Allow Cache folder location to be set

Include Hour and Minute in automatic "Date" Hierarchy against full timestamp fields
When date hierarchies are automatically generated against a full timestamp field then it should include Hour and Minute levels as well (maybe only hour if time is only at minute granularity).
Promote use of Power BI datasources
In Desktop the Get Data dialog should make the "Power BI" data sources more prominent in order to encourage reuse of existing data sources. I've been using Power BI for years and only just realised this is even an option - usually going straight to the database for a new query. For example,...
