Custom Visuals Ideas (read-only)

Current State:  You can right click a value on a visual and choose INCLUDE or EXCLUDE.  This adds a VISUAL-level filter in the filter pane. IDEA:  It would be awesome if we also had an option for "INCLUDE @ Page Level" and "Exclude @ Page Level."    For example: If you right click "INCLUDE @ Page Level" something like one of these options happens... Field is NOT set up as page-level filter = Field is added as a page-level filter Field was already set up as page-level filter = Existing page-level filter criteria is updated Field was already set up as page-level filter = secondary page-level filter is added for that value Benefits: Quick way to apply a page filter while you are exploring data and interacting with visuals (vs pausing to hunt through the filter pane or page slicers).  Often times you discover that your report does not have the page filter you need set up.  This can mean that you have to bother the report owner and ask them to add the page filter.   Also the page-filter may be a one-off need and we dont want to save it amongst the other common page-level filters we already have saved in the report.   This idea makes it so you dont need a report designer to add the filter... and it also makes temporary. ...

We need greater flexibility and control over report navigation with custom visuals. The current built-in visuals like the Bookmark Navigator and Page Navigator provide the ability to list bookmarks or report pages and enable simple navigation, but their functionality is quite limited.   We need to use these bookmark APIs, so developers can create visuals to list and trigger specific bookmarks programmatically.    By having this APIs, we could, for example, create more advanced navigation menus with more settings. Currently, it is too painful to create bookmarks and distinct formatting for each page in case the built-in page navigator doesn't suit a report.     ... View more

currently this works fine when refreshing over power bi desktop but its a limitation on the power bi service that give a SSO authentication error and doesnt allow to refresh (this its actually a noted limitation on power bi dataset direct query.  ... View more

When loading a new column to the matrix hierarchy, the defualt of the matrix is to be in collapse mode and then the user need to drill down in order to see the entire selection, and my suggestion/my need is to always be in expand all mode.  I know that if you save the report in drill down and then when you load it again the matrix will be expanded but a) that isn't a good solution overall b) it doesn't work in my situation where the matrix is dynamic and the user has a chance to remove and add layers to the hierarchy to his or hers choice with a switch/field parameter measure   so basically the idea is to have the matrix to be on expand all always ...

When using a hierarchy that has multiple levels, blank rows are displayed in the Matrix visual. The custom visual "HierarchySlicer" allows these 'empty leaves' to be hidden.   Please add this option to the Matrix visual as well!   ... View more

This one is pretty self-explanatory and one I think has been on here a couple times.   When we use custom colors the eraser icon doesn't always clearly show up and my customers seem inconsolable that they have to "de-select" their selections from within a slicer (since they think the eraser doesn't exist or went away--not sure which that case is, but that's neither here nor there). It'd be nice to just set the icon to Black or something--even if it wasn't full hex control/functionality like we've comes to love elsewhere within the software.   Examples:     ... View more

Hi everyone!   Nowadays, you can show or hide an object making changes on the color formatting. But, this is not 100% accurate. if we take a button as an example, we change the background color and font to white based on a condition, you will not see the button, but if you hover over the mouse, you might click on it.   Something that would be very useful, is to have the possibility to show or hide the entire object based on a condition. it could be using a metric, for example, if the metric is equal to 1, show the object, if it is equal to 0, don´t show the object.  Thanks in advance and hope you like the idea!   Best regards, Mariano. ...

It would be very handy to be able to flexibly customize all the colors. So that they could depend on measures, etc. ... View more

Bring collapse / expand sections into PBI. Proposal: Introduce native support for expandable and collapsible sections within Power BI to enhance user interaction, improve report navigation, and provide a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. Background: Currently, Power BI users rely on bookmarks and selection panes to create the illusion of expandable and collapsible sections. This method is cumbersome, not intuitive, and increases report complexity. A native solution would significantly enhance usability and efficiency.   Example: https://dash-bootstrap-components.opensource.faculty.ai/docs/components/collapse/ Another nice thing from same area would be hidable or expandable columns in data or matrix tables. ...

Hi all,   I was thinking about adding the Search Function to the default slicer.  I tend to use the slicer as an "on the report" filter for easier user firendliness for my audience.   I would find very valuable a "search" option in the dropdown slicer. Anyone knows if this is possible?   I have been looking at a few custom visuals with little to no luck. Thanks for the help ... View more

Hi all! It would be very convenient to display the bookmarks navigator not only as buttons, but also as a drop-down list.  It happens that there are a lot of bookmarks and it is not always convenient to display them in the form of buttons ... View more

Can we please have subfolders within PBI Workspaces to organise Workspace content? I'm sure theres heaps of people out there who want to organise their content better / create archive folders for old reports, or just sob-caregorise reports with Power BI workspaces. For those with a large number of reports in a single Workspce, I'm sure trawling through giant lists of reports is not fun. Seems like elementary functionality to have! Thanks ... View more

The default slicer doesn't have the functionality to select all results that the search returns. Currently, all the desired values from the search output should be selected manually, which is tedious if the user wants to select a good number of values from the slicer. Having a "select all" option together with the search output, which allows the user to select all the results from the search would be a useful addon. ... View more

Hi I've just started using Microsoft Loop and really like the fact I can paste in a Microsoft Planner Link and it displays the Board on the page rather than just as a URL and allows interaction with it.  I just wondered if it were possible or something was on the roadmap that would allow something similar with PowerBI.  For example I have a project and have some data relating to that project as a PowerBI dashboard so want to make the Loop page the best place to go for at a glance info of everything to do with it.  I can see something might be coming in March but I wasnt 100% sure it is the same feature as I'm looking for.   Cheers! ...
