Power BI September 2020 Update

This month's updates include a preview of the Smart narratives visual, which helps you quickly summarize visuals and reports by providing relevant out-of-the-box insights, which are customizable. On the reporting side, several things are added, including the introduction of controls for the z-order of visuals, and searching for a workspace during publish. For modeling, the enhanced dataset metadata that was previously in preview is now generally available. In the service, we introduce new capabilities in the lineage view, updates to analyze in Excel and have made deployment pipelines generally available. #Microsoft #PowerBI
