We would like Microsoft to add full support for embedded custom fonts when exporting Power BI reports to PDF, including reports distributed through subscriptions and Power BI Service exports. Many organisations invest in licensed brand fonts as part of their corporate identity and reporting standards. While custom fonts can be used successfully within Power BI reports, exporting to PDF often results in font substitution, causing reports to lose their intended formatting, brand consistency, and professional appearance. Current Challenges Custom fonts are replaced with default fonts during PDF export. Exported reports do not match what users see in Power BI Desktop or the Service. Corporate branding requirements cannot be fully met. Report layouts may shift due to differences in font sizing and spacing. Organisations are forced to redesign reports using supported fonts rather than approved brand fonts. Proposed Enhancement Provide one or more of the following options: Embed custom fonts directly into exported PDFs when licensing permits. Allow administrators to upload approved organisation fonts within Power BI or Microsoft Fabric. Support font packaging during report publishing so exports preserve the exact typography used in the report. Display compatibility warnings when unsupported fonts are detected. Include custom font support in PDF exports, PowerPoint exports, and email subscriptions. Business Impact Maintains corporate branding across exported reports. Produces board-ready and client-facing documents without manual rework. Improves consistency between Power BI Desktop, Service, and exported outputs. Reduces time spent recreating reports in external tools purely for branded PDF distribution. Supports organisations with strict marketing and brand compliance requirements. Example Use Case Our organisation has purchased and uses corporate brand fonts across all reporting platforms. Reports display correctly within Power BI; however, when exported to PDF for executive leadership, board packs, and external stakeholders, the fonts are replaced with alternatives. This results in inconsistent branding and requires manual intervention before distribution. This enhancement would significantly improve Power BI's suitability for enterprise reporting and align exported documents with organisational branding standards. Vote if you need exported PDFs to look exactly the same as the report displayed in Power BI, including support for licensed custom fonts. ... View more

Problem Statement Currently, Microsoft Fabric’s Zero-Copy Cloning functionality is limited in scope, making it difficult to implement robust CI/CD and "environment-switching" workflows for dbt projects. Specifically, we cannot perform a cross-warehouse clone for tables and views when the source and target warehouses reside in different Fabric Warehouses, even when they are within the same Capacity and Workspace. Use Case I am utilizing dbt to manage data transformations in Microsoft Fabric. To follow best practices, I need to maintain distinct environments (e.g., DEV, STAGING, and PROD) represented by separate Warehouses. In a dbt workflow, the dbt clone command is critical for: Environment Parity: Creating lightweight, ephemeral copies of production data for testing changes without duplicating storage costs or incurring massive data movement overhead. Safe CI/CD: Validating dbt models against a snapshot of current data before merging into production. Requested Feature Please extend the CREATE TABLE AS CLONE OF / CREATE VIEW AS capabilities to support cross-warehouse cloning within the same Workspace and Capacity. This would allow dbt to seamlessly manage environments by cloning objects from a PROD warehouse into a DEV or STAGING warehouse instantaneously, without physically copying the underlying data. Expected Business Impact Cost Efficiency: Eliminates the need to physically copy large datasets across environments, drastically reducing storage and compute costs. Development Velocity: Allows data engineers to create production-mirror environments in seconds rather than minutes or hours, leading to faster iteration cycles. Adoption of Data Ops: Removes a significant barrier for dbt users migrating to Fabric, making Fabric a first-class citizen in the modern Data Ops ecosystem. ... View more

Idea: Currently, when Power BI Paginated Reports are uploaded or deployed through the Power BI REST API, the data source mapping is automatically assigned to a “Personal Cloud Connection”. In many enterprise deployment scenarios, this is not sufficient because reports need to use an already existing, centrally managed cloud connection, such as an existing SQL Server or Azure SQL connection. At the moment, the correct cloud connection can be selected manually in the Power BI Service after the report has been uploaded. However, there does not appear to be a supported REST API, PowerShell command, deployment pipeline option, or other automated mechanism to assign or update the cloud connection mapping for paginated reports after deployment. This creates a gap for organizations that need fully automated CI/CD deployment processes for paginated reports.   Requested functionality: Please provide a supported mechanism to automate the assignment or reassignment of existing cloud connections for Power BI Paginated Reports. This could be implemented through one or more of the following options: A REST API endpoint to update the data source mapping or cloud connection of an uploaded paginated report Support for assigning an existing cloud connection during the paginated report upload process Support for this scenario in deployment pipelines PowerShell support for updating paginated report cloud connections Service principal support for managing paginated report connection mappings   Business impact: Without this functionality, every deployment of a paginated report requires manual post-deployment configuration in the Power BI Service. This prevents fully automated deployments, increases operational effort, and introduces the risk of human error, especially in environments with multiple workspaces, stages, or reports. For organizations using DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and controlled deployment processes, the ability to automate this step is important for governance, scalability, and reliability.   Example scenario: A paginated report is uploaded to a Power BI workspace through the REST API. After upload, the report is automatically mapped to a “Personal Cloud Connection”. However, the report should instead use an existing shared cloud connection, for example an existing SQL database connection used by the organization. Today, this reassignment must be done manually in the Power BI Service. The requested improvement would allow this mapping to be configured automatically as part of the deployment process.   Benefit: Adding this capability would enable fully automated and enterprise-ready deployment processes for Power BI Paginated Reports, reduce manual work, improve governance, and make paginated reports easier to manage in professional Fabric and Power BI environments. ...

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started using Fabric IQ Plan, which requires working entirely within the platform. One limitation I’ve encountered is the lack of an undo functionality - there doesn’t seem to be a button for it, and standard shortcuts like Ctrl+Z don’t appear to work either. In other Microsoft tools, this is a basic capability. For example, even in Power BI Service it’s possible to use Ctrl+Z to go back one step, which makes it much easier to safely experiment and correct mistakes. Having a similar behaviour in Fabric IQ Plan would significantly improve usability and user confidence when making changes. Is there an existing feature or workaround to revert changes (e.g. going back n steps)? Thanks in advance! Miriam ... View more

I believe there are several updates needed to Power BI subscriptions: Gate subscription ability.  Right now, this is all-on/all-off feature.  I would like this feature to be gated for users/security groups like almost every other setting in MS Fabric (e.g. allow only certain users/groups to create subscriptions). Zero visibility.  Need to see subscriptions on monitor tab Need to know impact on CUs from these subscriptions Need to know everyone reports were sent to (E.g. if we have one subscription is sent to 5 people, we would need 5 records) Need to know when upcoming subscriptions are going to be run Purview labels are not respected in subscriptions.  If someone sets up a label for the data in a report, the subscription does not ensure that the user(s) on the subscription are allowed to actually see that data; and since we have not gating by security group (see first bullet), they cannot be controlled that way either No dynamic data for "standard" subscriptions.  It would be great to have the ability to have dynamic data input into the email subject or body.  Right now the only option is static text. No CC or BCC settings.  It would be great to have CC and BCC options. All emails get sent from PowerBI service.  It would be great if we could use another SMTP server (set at tenant and/or workspace level) All emails get sent with the same template.  It would be great if we could use a custom template (set at tenant and/or workspace level) Fabric semanitc model w/ all Fabric users/groups.  There should be a native Fabric semantic model that contains all of the objects (workspaces, reports, users, groups, etc...) that could be leveraged by all who select "Dynamic subscription".
