Hello,

Sorry for long answer - we decided use new slicers in Reprots ( list slicer, button slicer) these new slicers allow to have blank value. In another page where we have to have single select we will use deep copy

Re: How to automatically export a PBI screenshot for the latest month?

v-aatheeque — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:30:12 GMT

Hi SRJPBI

Thanks for reaching out to Fabric Community Forum.

No, the slicers themselves cannot be automatically updated immediately before a standard Power BI subscription screenshot is generated. A subscription uses the report's saved filter/slicer state, so if the slicer is saved as August 2026, the subscription will continue to use that selection until the saved state is changed.

To make the screenshot always reflect the latest month, the better approach is to move the “latest month” logic into the Power BI model/report rather than relying on a manually selected slicer value.

For example, you can create logic in the Date/Calendar table to identify the latest completed month and use that as the report/page filter. The subscription can then run normally, while the latest-month logic updates automatically as new data is refreshed.

Dynamic per-recipient subscriptions are another option, but they are primarily intended for applying different filter values to different recipients, rather than simply selecting the latest month.

For this requirement, making the latest-month logic dynamic within the report/model is the simplest and most robust approach.

Re: Iframe continues scrolling after mouse release when interacting with Power BI visuals

LumericVisuals — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 09:09:19 GMT

Hi Mohd_Naim

diagnosed as a cross-frame mouseup issue (release happens in the parent doc, not the iframe's), noted you can't attach a listener inside a cross-origin iframe, and suggested a host-page window mouseup/pointerup handler that toggles pointer-events on the iframe to reset it — plus asked whether it only happens when the cursor exits the iframe bounds mid-drag.

Re: How to add RLS on top of FUAM datasets

v-achippa — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 05:20:57 GMT

Hi TobNyg,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

Here the issue is that the local RLS table cannot filter the FUAM tables because the FUAM data is coming from a remote semantic model.

The recommended solution is to add the user-to-workspace security table and RLS role directly to the FUAM semantic model. If that model cannot be modified, create a new semantic model directly from the underlying FUAM Lakehouse tables, not from the FUAM semantic model.

Use WorkspaceId rather than WorkspaceName , and apply dynamic RLS:
[UserPrincipalName] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()

Also ensure the report users have read-only/Viewer access to the workspace hosting the report because RLS does not apply to workspace Admin, Member, or Contributor roles.

For reference, follow the below documentation:

Thanks and regards,

How to add RLS on top of FUAM datasets

TobNyg — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 13:42:15 GMT

We are testing the FUAM reports and would like to share some of them with workspace administrators.

To achieve this, we want to implement RLS so that workspace owners can only see data for the workspaces they own.

I tried creating a composite model with an RLS security table containing User and WorkspaceName, and created a relationship to the Workspaces table.

However, the filtering does not seem to work properly for the Workspaces table, which is running in DirectQuery mode.

Has anyone implemented RLS for FUAM before, and if so, what approach would you recommend?

How to automatically export a PBI screenshot for the latest month?

SRJPBI — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 10:55:04 GMT

I have a Power BI report published in the online service. It automatically refreshes via a schedule. I now want to set up a scheduled process which automatically emails a screenshot of the report to certain people.

I know I can do this by setting up a subscription, but here's the tricky bit: the report has a couple of slicers for year and month. So if I set up a subscription with the slicers set to August 2026, then the screenshots will keep showing August 2026 unless I manually update the slicers.

Is there a way for me to have the slicers automatically update before the screenshot is emailed out?

I have access to Power Automate Desktop if that helps.

Re: How to deactivate Power BI Pro Free 60 Day Trial

DaniyalKhaleel1 — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:20:33 GMT

If this was a Power BI Pro/PPU trial started by the user, it may not appear under Microsoft 365 Admin Center → Active users/Licenses.

Microsoft's current guidance is:

Open Power BI Service.

Click your profile/account manager in the top-right.

Look for Cancel trial.

If Cancel trial is not available, and the trial was started/managed by the organization, a Billing Administrator may need to cancel it. Microsoft also notes that an administrator may need to raise a Microsoft Support ticket for some Power BI license trials.

So in your case, don't focus on Active Users,first check the Power BI profile menu for Cancel trial

Re: Power BI Embedded registers blocked unload handler in Microsoft Edge

LumericVisuals — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:46:35 GMT

This is almost certainly Chromium's ongoing unload event deprecation surfacing in a script you don't control, rather than anything wrong in your embedding code. The warning names the Power BI hosted reportembed script specifically, and Edge/Chrome have been tightening enforcement around unload listeners for a while now as part of the back/forward-cache work — sites still get flagged even when the listener is legitimate.

In practice this is usually just console noise rather than a functional break — the report itself still renders and works, per what you're already seeing. Worth double-checking that nothing real regressed (state not saving on close, telemetry gaps) before spending more time on it, since a console warning alone doesn't tell you whether anything actually stopped working.

Since the listener lives in Microsoft's own script rather than your application code, there's no fix you can apply from the embedding side — you'd only be able to suppress the console noise, not the underlying registration. If it's bothering you beyond cosmetics, the powerbi-client-sdk-typings / JavaScript SDK GitHub repo is the right place to check for an existing issue or file a new one; I don't have visibility into whether Microsoft has already shipped a pagehide/visibilitychange replacement in a recent SDK version, so that's worth confirming directly rather than taking on faith.

Re: Any news when Power BI MCP server will be GA?

v-abhinavmu — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:44:38 GMT

Hi Johag,
Thank you for clarifying.

According to the current Microsoft documentation, the remote Power BI MCP server is still in preview. The documentation does not currently specify a timeline or target date for general availability (GA).

For the latest information on the feature's availability and updates, we recommend following the official Microsoft Learn documentation:

Get started with the remote Power BI MCP server - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I hope this clarifies.

Re: Submission process for Certified Connectors

v-abhinavmu — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 09:09:58 GMT

Hi BreannaNery,
Thank you for the clarification.

Based on the current Microsoft documentation, the Partner Center process described for updating certified connectors applies to Microsoft Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Azure Logic Apps. The documentation does not indicate that the Power BI certified connector update process has moved from the email-based process to Partner Center.

For Power BI, Microsoft documents that it certifies and distributes a limited set of custom connectors as certified connectors, while the third-party developer maintains and supports the connector.

Since Autodesk Forma is an existing Power BI certified connector and you submitted the update through the process previously provided by your Microsoft contacts, I recommend checking with your usual Microsoft contact regarding the status of the July 2026 submission and whether there are any updated instructions for Power BI certified connector updates.

For more details, please refer to the below Official Microsoft Documentation:
Connector Extensibility in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Update your certified connector | Microsoft Learn

I hope this clarifies the distinction between the Power BI certified connector documentation and the Partner Center process described for the other connector platforms.

Thank you.

How to Configure Scheduled Refresh in Power BI for Data Connected via Zoho People API?

Agni2171 — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 07:24:51 GMT

Hi Community,

I have connected Zoho People API data to Power BI using Power Query (API calls), and the data refreshes successfully in Power BI Desktop. However, I am facing challenges when configuring Scheduled Refresh in the Power BI Service.

The main issue is that the Zoho People access token expires every hour. When the token expires, the API calls fail, causing scheduled refreshes to stop working.

I'm looking for advice on the following:

What is the recommended approach for implementing scheduled refresh with Zoho People API in Power BI Service?

How can the access token be refreshed automatically before it expires?

Is it possible to use a refresh token within Power Query or Power BI Service to generate a new access token during each refresh?

Does this scenario require an On-premises Data Gateway, Azure Function, Power Automate, or another middleware solution?

Are there any best practices for handling OAuth 2.0 token expiration when connecting to APIs from Power BI?

Has anyone successfully implemented automated scheduled refresh for Zoho People API data? If so, could you share your architecture or approach?

Current Setup:

Data Source: Zoho People API

Connection Method: Power Query Web/API calls

Authentication: OAuth Access Token

Token Validity: 1 Hour

I would appreciate any guidance, sample implementations, or documentation that explain how to handle token renewal for Zoho People API integrations with Power BI scheduled refresh.
