I would like to suggest a Global Workspace feature in Power BI that enables centralized report design management with automatic propagation to multiple Sub-Workspaces, each configured with its own client-specific data source. This would remove the need to duplicate and maintain separate report versions for each client or data environment. The core design elements—such as visuals, layout, bookmarks, and themes—would remain in the Global Workspace, and any updates made there would reflect across all linked Sub-Workspaces without affecting their individual data connections. This feature would greatly improve scalability, reduce manual maintenance, and ensure consistency in multi-client or multi-tenant deployments. ... View more

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. ...

I can't see the column names and cell values in some of the columns in my tables in SQL Analytics Endpoint because the column width is too narrow.   Also, the tooltip also doesn't show the entire cell contents when hovering over a cell.   Please make it possible to see the entire contents of a cell in the SQL Analytics Endpoint user interface. ...

Enabling customized calculations at the query level for subtotals and grand totals would offer greater flexibility in reporting and preserve performance. Efficient organization of control settings to modify the style of these totals separately will empower report creators to achieve their desired appearance, while addressing their need for more control and customization in reporting. ...

Imagine a world where report creators can automatically apply slicer and filter selections based on specific logic, revolutionizing data analysis and user experience. This innovative approach eliminates any need for complex workarounds, optimizes slicer functionality, and paves the way for more efficient and effective data reporting. ... View more

Considering the most powerful and versatile machines are being built on ARM processors and many developers preferring these machines due to the extended battery life, or performance per watt, I think it would be critical for Microsoft to start developing Power BI Desktop to be fully compatible with ARM64 processors. Windows ARM with a snapdragon processor is a great machine. It is where all machines are going. It's time for Power BI Desktop to get up to speed with everything else. ... View more

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. ...

Currently the new Key Vault reference feature only allows to use a KV with public access from all networks.  However most customers cannot have Key Vaults open to public which makes this feature unusable at the moment.  Could you extend this to work with network-restricted Key Vaults? ...

Hi Microsoft Fabric Community,   We observes a behaivor that the Excel file downloaded from the summarized data exporting feature from Power BI embedded reports shows a message “We found a problem with some content in 'exportname.xlsx'. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes.” when it is opened. This message may affect users' trust regarding the data source.    It would be better if we can address this behavior in the future to enhance user experience. Kindly upvote this idea if you also find it resonable. Thank you for your attention! ... View more

I'd like to see Power BI read and populate metadata from database source tables/columns and populate the description field in the power bi semantic model for those same tables and columns.  Instead what I have to do now is maintain that metadata in two different locations (Eg maintaining table/coulmn description in Snowflake) and maintain that same metadata in my power bi semantic model.   thanks for consideration.   Brian ...

The primary axis are outdated and require significant improvement when compared to Excel. This makes it difficult for report creators and often leads to problems when trying to manage and style them effectively. By offering more format settings, greater control over displayed data can be provided, especially if axis ticks, new gridlines, and separators are also included. ... View more

Assume in your data model you have Many-to-One relationship between your 'FactTbl' and 'DimTbl' on the column 'CustomerKey' and the the connection is in DirectQuery mode.   Now assume that bad data is entered in your 'DimTbl' and it has caused that you have a duplicate value in the column 'CustomerKey' of your 'DimTbl'. If you refresh your Power BI, it gets refreshed successfully without any errors.   Now what happens? If you have created visualizations before, you might see some data in your visuals that is too weird which are caused by Many-to-Many Relationship behavior. You go and check your data model to find out the reason and it shows you that the relationship is Many-to-One and it is too frustrating as you cannot find the reason of what you see !   But the same case in Import mode works fine and once you hit the Refresh button in Power BI, it gives you the error: "Column CustomerKey contains a duplicate value and this is not allowed for columns on the one side of a many-to-one relationship or for the columns that are used as the primary key of a table".   The same error is expected in DirectQuery mode as well and it needs to be fixed.   Regards, Loran ...

It’s challenging and time-consuming for both new and experienced report creators to organize data when trying to split cards into categories.

I was working on a report in Power BI Desktop and encountered this issue. I wanted to turn off the default cross highlighting/filtering in the report. I went to File -> Options and Settings -> Options. Under Current File -> Query reduction, I turned on 'Disabling cross highlighting/filtering by default'. However, it does not work as expected. Also, when I saved, closed the file, and opened it again, the same option was turned off. ... View more

Currently, Power BI Desktop does not provide any built-in mechanism to log or audit user sign-ins. This creates a visibility gap for organizations that need to: Monitor license usage . Track who is accessing Power BI Desktop and when. Audit user behavior for security and governance purposes. While Power BI Service and Microsoft 365 offer audit logs, these do not cover local Power BI Desktop usage.   We would like to request the addition of a feature in Power BI Desktop that allows administrators to track user sign-in activity, especially for users with Power BI Pro or Premium licenses. ...
