In each report page settings, there should be an option to write a 'Page description' (much like the Page synonyms option).  I have mocked up the appearance of this section above.  Then, if we use the 'Page Navigator' visual, we should be able to enable the tooltips.  When hovering over each button/menu item, tooltips would display the description of that page, as it was specified in the 'Page description' section.  Please refer to the mockups above which I created.  I believe it is crucial for accessibility purposes, and is a frequent request of my customers, which I currently cannot fulfill.  This seems like a relatively simple addition for Microsoft to develop.  Thank you in advance.   ...

The current card visual forces users to overlap elements or waste copious amounts of time creating custom visuals. The new card feature should give users the ability to create multiple cards in a single container and provide a greater level of customization. ... View more

It would be beneficial to incorporate features from Pivot tables that allow for the expansion and collapse of columns and hierarchical column groups within tabular visuals. This would not only solve the current limitations of matrices but also provide report creators with the flexibility to hide and show rows and columns, saving these settings for future use, thus eliminating the need to scroll through irrelevant data. ...

Business Problem: For enterprise departments, data governance and security are paramount. We rely on DirectQuery with Single Sign-On (SSO) to enforce granular, source-level security on our most sensitive data (e.g., in Azure Synapse, Snowflake, or Azure SQL). While this architecture is powerful for security, it creates a significant bottleneck in our development lifecycle. Currently, the "Test as role" feature in the Power BI Service is incompatible with SSO-enabled DirectQuery sources. This prevents our developers and analysts from being able to efficiently validate the security context of a report before deployment. Current Limitation & Workaround: The current workaround involves provisioning dedicated test user accounts, managing their permissions in both Power BI and the underlying data source, and performing manual end-to-end testing by logging in as each user. This process is cumbersome, slow, does not scale well, and significantly increases the friction and time required to deploy or update critical financial reports. Proposed Solution: Enhance the Power BI Service to allow authorized administrators and developers to use the "Test as role" functionality with SSO-enabled DirectQuery models. This would require a trusted impersonation or delegation mechanism where the Power BI Service can simulate a user's identity through to the data source for the express purpose of testing. Implementing this feature would dramatically accelerate the development and validation of secure, enterprise-grade analytics solutions on Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, reinforcing its position as a trusted platform for sensitive data. ...

Fabric/power BI users have requested a capability to programmatically update the gateway cloud connection associated with data sources used in Power BI semantic reports, via a REST API. Currently, changing or managing gateway cloud connections for data sources within semantic models (datasets) often requires manual updates through the Power BI Service interface or Power BI Admin Portal. This can become time-consuming and error-prone. Proposed Capability: Kindly introduce a Power BI REST API that allows users to update the gateway or cloud connection bound to a semantic model's data source. This feature would enable improved automation, governance, and scalability for enterprise BI teams using Power BI as a part of modern DevOps workflows. ... View more

I'd like to propose the addition of a "Close, Apply, and Refresh All" option within the Transform Data panel in Power BI Desktop.   As part of our ongoing cost-efficiency initiative, we’ve transitioned our enterprise cube into Power BI data models, leveraging native queries and query folding to optimize performance. With incremental refresh enabled, we must update the RangeStart and RangeEnd parameters and refresh all data prior to publishing. This step is critical—if skipped, the web-based Power BI service initiates a full refresh post-publish, resulting in a 30–60 minute lag where visuals may appear blank or error-prone, disrupting the user experience.   Currently, after updating the parameters and selecting Close & Apply, only the tables with incremental refresh configured are updated. To fully synchronize the model, we must then manually trigger a second refresh for the remaining tables—effectively doubling the wait time.   Introducing a "Close, Apply, and Refresh All" option would streamline this workflow by consolidating both steps into one. This enhancement would: Reduce total refresh time and manual intervention. Improve publishing efficiency. Minimize front-end disruption for report consumers.   This small UX improvement could yield significant time savings and operational consistency for teams working with complex, parameter-driven models. ...

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions. ...

Hi,    We have numerous clients running Quantios Core, which is Dynamics 365 Business Central with an extension from Quantios to include new tables and functionality within Business Central for the product QCore.   We want to do our reporting, analysis, and merging other data sets in Fabric but having issues getting data into Fabric.   Would it be possible to get mirroring up and running so that we can have the source system data within Fabric managed by Microsoft so that we can get busy with analytics, modelling and reporting for our clients.   Thank ...

Currently, when using the “Apply to: Labels” option in matrix visuals for conditional formatting, Power BI applies the formatting to all row headers, including both regular rows and subtotal rows. This behavior is consistent across both Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service, and it is not configurable to scope the formatting to only subtotals. This limitation causes confusion and inconsistent visual behavior—especially in scenarios where users want to highlight only subtotal rows for clarity in large hierarchical matrices. In semantic model .pbix files, the formatting may appear more scoped due to local model context, but in live-connected reports, the formatting engine lacks the metadata granularity to distinguish between subtotal and non-subtotal labels. Proposed Enhancement:  Introduce a new option in the “Apply to” dropdown for matrix visuals that allows users to apply conditional formatting only to subtotal labels. This would provide parity with the existing “Apply to: Values,” “Totals,” and “Subtotals” options and give report authors more precise control over formatting behavior. Benefits Enables cleaner, more intuitive matrix visuals in both semantic models and live-connected reports. Reduces formatting inconsistencies between development and production environments. Improves accessibility and readability for end users by clearly distinguishing subtotal rows. Eliminates the need for workarounds such as importing models or using custom themes.

Please make it possible to use Managed Identity with Fabric items like Notebooks and Data Pipeline.   Benefits: No need to handle credentials. The item won't be related to a physical person.
