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

Hi Team,  In Excel, we have conditional formatting which can be used for single columns and single columns with specific rows, however, in Power BI in a table visual it will take the complete set.    ... 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

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

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 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. ...

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

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.

Many of us working with complex data models in Power BI fear breaking our dashboards when modifying or deleting columns. While Power BI offers ways to analyze dependencies, such as INFO.CALCDEPENDENCY() and tools like Power BI Documenter, can be cumbersome for quick use. Wouldn't it be beneficial to have a built-in, intuitive search option that allows users to quickly find where a specific column or measure is being used across visualizations and other elements? This feature would help ensure that any changes made to the data model won't unintentionally disrupt reports, making Power BI even more robust for developers handling large datasets. By building on existing features but enhancing usability, could save time and reduce errors for Power BI users. So let's set up that as a Feature Proposal: Problem Power BI users often struggle to understand the dependencies between data models, visualizations, and measures, leading to accidental modifications that can break existing dashboards.   Solution Implement a search function that allows users to quickly identify visualizations and measures that use a specific column. This will help users: Reduce the risk of errors by understanding potential impacts before making changes. Improve efficiency by streamlining the process of finding relevant visualizations and measures. Enhance data governance by providing better visibility into how data is used. Proposed Features: Advanced Search Options: Search by column name, data type, or specific conditions (e.g., "visualizations that use the 'Sales Amount' column and have a total sum"). Visualization Preview: Provide a preview of the visualizations that match the search criteria to help users quickly identify relevant results. Dependency Graph: Visualize dependencies between columns, measures, and visualizations using a graph or network diagram. Impact Analysis: Offer a tool that can assess the potential impact of changes to a column or measure, highlighting which visualizations and measures might be affected. Benefits Improved Data Quality: Reduced errors and increased efficiency can lead to better data quality and accuracy. Enhanced Productivity: By saving time and effort, users can focus on more strategic tasks. Better Data Governance: A clearer understanding of data dependencies can support better data governance practices. Stories from Team Imagine a scenario where a Power BI developer accidentally deletes a crucial column, leading to widespread errors in multiple dashboards. This developer could have avoided this issue if they had a tool to identify which visualizations and measures relied on that column. By implementing a column-based search function, Power BI can empower users to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.   I encourage the Power BI team to consider implementing this feature to enhance the user experience and improve the overall quality of Power BI reports.
