Dear Microsoft Power BI Team, First of all, I would like to thank you for your continuous efforts to improve Power BI and establish it as the leading SSBI platform. You have done an amazing job in a relative short time. I really like the idea of this open community, where everyone is able to share their ideas and your monthly effort to enrich Power BI with new features. Nevertheless, I would like to remind you that nearly 30 years ago, Microsoft in an effort to compete Lotus 123 and quickly increase market penetration, launched Excel with a bug. To cut the long story short, the real value of a new software release or update is to give users at the end of the day, additional benefits and features, but also a positive experience and ensure them that everything works well as in the previous version. So it’s not only about being competitive and having short term success, it’s also about being credible and reliable to conquer the world long term. Credibility, especially for new products is sometimes more important than some additional features that customer might say initially “wow, nice add” but could also live without them. Unfortunately, August 2016 update was quite disappointing, as in your effort to add extra capabilities, you create malfunctions in some of the already amazing features of the previous release. Moreover, almost 3 weeks after the initial thread by many users, you have not yet provided a specific ETA. I guess, hundreds of things might running at the same time, but being trustful should not be negotiable, especially when working for Microsoft. I retain my optimism that my thoughts and concerns will not just get stacked in someone inbox. Kind regards, Ioannis Vastardis Managing Director Analysis Ltd
