Smart Visual Refresh: Auto-Detect and Refresh Only Affected Visuals in Power BI Reports

[burakkaragoz]

🧠 

In large Power BI reports with many visuals, refreshing the entire page after a slicer or filter change can be slow and resource-intensive. Currently, all visuals are refreshed regardless of whether they are affected by the change.

Proposed Idea:
Introduce a “Smart Visual Refresh” feature that:

• Detects which visuals are impacted by a slicer or filter change.
• Refreshes only those visuals, leaving unaffected visuals untouched.
• Optionally highlights which visuals were refreshed (for transparency).

This would significantly improve performance and user experience, especially in enterprise dashboards with complex data models.
