Some simple scorecard improvements I would like to see to add visual impact and enable better standardisation.   1. To have more colours available. The current choice of colours is pretty weak ... the pastel hues are a bit bland. I would preper to be able to have stronger colours for more visual impact when using scorecard as a KPI or metrics board. Red, Green Amber would be obvious choices ... but also strong blues and other colours too. I want to be able to see when something is off target or on target.   2. To be able to create scoreboard templates. I have a few variaiant ideas here .... to be able to create a template of metrics on the whole ... so i can determine what each dept is using and measuring ... so this for me would be sections on Safety, Quality, Performance etc and then as sub metrics again specific for our site. The point here is to be able to create a standard board and to share it as a template across the business. Also a selectable template of precreated statuses (On target, Behind etc) ... i would like to be able to create my own status banks with predetermined wording and colour. Standardisation across teh business again. ... View more

I have been taking a look at the new Fabric Graph feature. Please can you add support to load data to the Graph from a Lakehouse View as well as tables (e.g. TSQL Views). There are many reasons why people may wish to adjust, filter or otherwise manipulate data from actual Lakehouse table to make it relevant to Graph (e.g. only providing current rows from an SCD dimension), but at present I need to add an extra step via Pipelines, Data Flow or Notebook to adjust the data to a new Lakehouse table first. It would be simpler to be able to just provide access to views.  This may already be on the "to-do" list so please close the idea if that's the case.  Thank you. ... View more

I need for "Direct Access" Permissions to update AUTOMATICALLY for PowerBI reports for that app's Audience that are in Workspaces Published to Apps.   It is unacceptable that this is not an option when publishing the app to an app audience rather than publishing an app and using Workspace Users.     This is CRITICAL.  Here is the work around Chat GPT gives which is ridiculous.   Microsoft please fix ASAP.       Use the Power BI REST API or Admin Portal to Grant Build Access Automatically Best for scale (dozens of reports / multiple apps) You can automate dataset permissions with the Power BI REST API: Endpoint     POST https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/{datasetId}/permissions     Body     { "principal": { "email": "YourADGroup@domain.com", "principalType": "Group" }, "datasetUserAccessRight": "Build" }   Script this (PowerShell, Python, or Azure Logic App) to: Loop through all datasets in your target workspace(s) Grant Build to the same AD groups used as App Audiences 💡 Microsoft’s Power BI PowerShell module (Add-PowerBIDatasetUser) can do this easily. Pros Central automation — one script updates all datasets. Works across multiple workspaces/apps. Cons Requires Power BI Admin or dataset Owner permissions.

The new Copy Job in Fabric is great. It lets you configure DELTA loads if you can specify the "Incremental column" for a table. BUT, the only data types it will accept are INT (and I assume BIG | SMALL, etc) and Date/Time.    What about ROWVERSION? In my opinion, this is the ABSOLUTE BEST data type for tracking incremental changes. Consider this: Any other type must be managed by the programming layer, either the application or a trigger. And, what happens if some other process breaks in and UPDATES those columns between runs? You will be in an inconsistent state.  ROWVERSION data type columns are, by definition: A) Managed by SQL (populated and updated automatically), B) immutable (they cannot be changed via an UPDATE statement like other columns.   Please add support for selecting ROWVERSION type columns (from SQL Server) to the CopyJob activity. ...

The new horizontal tab navigation in the Fabric experience is great.   I wish Manage Gateways and Connections would also open up as a tab when I go to the Manage Gateways and Connections page. This way, I could seamlessly navigate between the Manage Gateways and Connections tab and the other items tabs.    This seamless tab navigation would be especially useful when comparing connection IDs used in workspace items and variable library to the actual connection IDs found in the Manage Gateways and Connections page. ...

I like the new sidebar (for Workspaces) and the tabs/topbar at the top for Items. Sometimes I just want to open the "home" of a Workspace. Currently, I have to click it in the sidebar, then a menu pops up and I have to find it in the menu. It would be nicer if I could just double-click the Workspace in the sidebar. It could even be a "fake double-click" in that the first click opens the menu and if you click the same Workspace icon in the sidebar again after the menu has been activated, you go to the home of the Workspace.   Yes, I know that this doesn't save a ton of time/annoyance but it would make the interface better for when you need to switch back and forth between multiple workspaces. ...

Currently, there is an Action to let us trigger the Power BI Semantic Model refresh through Logic App that uses the Power BI API connection (named "Refresh a dataset"); great! But there is no similar Power BI action to trigger the dataflow and we have to use HTTP action which has several disadvantages. One important disadvantage is that once the HTTP request is submitted then the action is considered as completed and the logic app moves to the next step without waiting for the dataflow to be refreshed (successfully or not). With a Power BI action to refresh the Dataflow, the action would wait until the execution of the dataflow is a success or a failure and then return the output before to move to the next step/action. A workaround is to add a "Delay" step but with a fix value (example = 1mn) and there is no guarantee that the dataflow's refresh completes within that delay, as well as there is no control on the output of the refresh (whether the refresh fails or not, the logic app will continue to execute the next steps after that delay). Another disadvantage by having to use HTTP request is that you cannot use the Power BI API connection through the HTTP request and you have to pass the access credentials information to the action to get the token prior to submit the request. Also it would be very useful to add a Power BI action to let us refresh a Dataflow, thanks. ... View more

Summary: Please add support for running Marimo notebooks in Microsoft Fabric. Marimo is a new reactive Python notebook framework that enables fully reproducible, Git-friendly, and app-like data workflows.   Why it matters: Fabric notebooks are great for Spark workloads but limited for lightweight, interactive data apps. Marimo would let users:   Build reactive notebooks that update dynamically Run small workloads without a Spark cluster Version control notebooks as plain .py files Deploy notebooks as interactive web apps (WASM or server mode)     Requested capability:   Allow installing and running the marimo package in Fabric notebooks or Lakehouses (Future) Add a “Marimo Notebook” item type or integration similar to existing notebooks     Impact: Adds a modern, flexible notebook experience in Fabric — bridging traditional notebooks and lightweight web apps, and encouraging open-source integration.   References:   https://docs.marimo.io ...

We are using matrix visual to show data. We have slicers which filters Matrix data. Suppose the slicer is Year data and in Matrix visual show year data in column section. If the user choose 2025 and 2026 from the slicer, the Matrix visual shows 2025 and 2026 in column section. Since it shows only 2 columns, the rest of the area in the page is blank. When data is geting filtered, the matrix visual is not occupying the entire page to show data by automatically increasing the width of rows and columns. The idea I am suggesting is that, the matrix visual should occupy the entire page to show data by automatically increasing the width of rows and columns. We had raised a ticket TrackingID#2509190010002348, and MS support asked us to suggest an idea. ... View more

Hi,   I was wondering if there might be a way—perhaps a command-line switch—to install Power BI Desktop x64 without triggering a reinstallation or update of WebView2, especially when the latest version is already present on the system.   So far, this is the only installer we've encountered that attempts to update WebView2 even when it's already up to date.   It would be incredibly helpful if the installer could either detect and respect the existing installation or offer a switch to skip this step.   Thank you for considering this request, and we appreciate any guidance or future improvements you can provide. ...

I have a Line chart visual. In the default tooltip of this visual I cannot see the column name for various data points. I have attached the screenshot for reference. In the attached screenshot "Week of Year - 32" is coming as only 32 which is not good as per user undestanding perspective. May I know when this issue can be fixed from Power BI dev team? ...

When opening a Power BI Desktop file, the app currently allows interaction (e.g., clicking visuals, opening Power Query) before all background processes like model hydration, query loading, and cache warming are finished. This can lead to laggy behavior, misleading previews, and even crashes—especially in large or complex models. I’d like to suggest a startup blocking mode that: Shows a clear “Loading…” screen when launching the app. Prevents any interaction (including visuals and Power Query) until: The semantic model is fully hydrated All queries are loaded and dependencies resolved Caches are warmed and ready Makes it clear and explicit when everything is done and the file is ready for user interactions or new development This would give users confidence that the environment is stable and ready for interaction, improving both usability and reliability—especially for developers and power users working with large datasets. Optional: This could be a toggle in settings, so users can choose between fast UI access or safe, fully-loaded startup. ... View more

Our connector uses Odbc.DataSource. If a developer works long hours on a single report in Power BI Desktop, the ODBC connection may become dead, thus causing an error when Power BI Desktop executes a query over this dead connection.   I would suggest Power BI to validate the ODBC connection using  SQLSetConnectAttr(conn, SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD, ..) before executing a query. If it's dead, reallocate a new one. ... View more

Power BI tries to be helpful and "normalize" text for performance and sorting, but in environments like mine (SAP, audit-grade data, routing metadata) that behavior destroys fidelity. Text casing from SAP (e.g., START OPERATION vs Start Operation) is being auto-normalized in Power BI desktop and service.  This breaks forensic accuracy and visual trust.  We need a simple 'Preserve Source Case' option in data load or column settings. ...

I'm kind of baffled this isn't a feature because it seems so fundamental to data presentation. If I have a report with multiple visuals, I should be able to assert consistent colours for the same category across the report.  Manually doing this is not a valid solution, because you cannot manually set valid categories in dynamic datasets when those categories don't happen to have data in the current snapshot. Having custom mapping really is a must for good, consistent data visualisation used for regular reporting.  ... View more

One of the missing feature implementing a custom visual slicer is the fact it does not support the Query Reduction like the native slicers. The function applyJsonFilter automatically trigger the filter on all the other visuals, ignoring the Query Reduction and the Apply all slicers button, moreover the custom visual does not properly interact with the Apply all slicers button, it leaves it disabled.   Please implement a way to send the filter to the host without triggering an update, and implement the integration with the Apply all slicers button. ...
