The art is in creating effective, meaningful BI visualisations, not necessarily speedy ones

I have the latest Dell laptop not even 4 moths old. Has anyone in the Power BI team seen what appears on user screens? Please fix this as the top-most priority,

When I start drilling into a year, and move into a quarter drill down, the drill down is reversed and shows me data for each quarter for every year again. That's completely illogical in my opinion.

In order to avoid that problem I need to put slicers for the year and quarter in the report page just to make sure the data I see is not wrong.

The visualisation and fields filters should show by default on dashboard screens (or at least have an option to do so), rather than having to strat typing in the Ask a Question box to enable them. Many users, particularly those with plenty of Excel experience find it easier to build visualisatiuons this way.

I would like to see a way to group data into ranges. If I were looking at vehicle data, I would like to be able to group vehicles with mileages of 0-1000 in one group and then 1001-2000 in the next and so on.
