I’m not sure if this happens to everyone, but I experienced an issue where I worked on some data in Microsoft Fabric, and when I tried to consume it through the Semantic Model in Power BI (both online and in Desktop), some functionalities were inactive. For example, the "Column Tools" tab had its option buttons disabled. It would be great if all functionalities remained fully available regardless of where the table is located. ... View more

The ability to parameterize the connection would enable using separate identities (e.g. separate service principals) for dev/test/prod environments.    Having to use the same SPN in dev/test/prod introduces unnecessary risks, like accidental data modification across environments - a dev workload accidentally writing to production data, or a production workload accidentally connecting to and using data from the dev environment.   This would be solved if we could use variable library to reference the corresponding connection id for dev/test/prod service principal.   This way, we would not need to give the prod SPN access to dev and test environments. ...

Problem Statement: When adding a Smart Narrative using Copilot (AI) every time there is a change on the report such filters, etc. There is a button on the Narrative to refresh the content (I assume is the instruction for Copilot to re-generate the content based on the new filter criteria) and our end users are just ignoring the content because of this extra action.   Desired Experience: Smart Narrative will launch automatically on ANY change on the report (selection, filters, slicers, etc) and we don't need any other action to get the information. ...

Current Experience: When a dataset refresh is initiated in Microsoft Fabric, the “Refresh” button remains static. To cancel an ongoing refresh, users must: Open the Monitor tab. Navigate to the dataset’s page. Locate and click the “Cancel Refresh” button. This process requires multiple clicks and context switches, which disrupts workflow efficiency. Proposed Improvement: Feature Change: Replace the “Refresh” button with a “Cancel Refresh” action when a refresh is already running. Proposed Behavior: When a dataset refresh is active: The “Refresh” icon or label dynamically changes to “Cancel Refresh” (or an “X” icon overlay). Hover tooltip: “Cancel current refresh”. On click: A confirmation dialog appears: “A refresh is currently running. Are you sure you want to cancel it?” Confirm → Cancels the refresh job. Dismiss → Keeps the refresh running. Once the refresh completes or is canceled, the button reverts to its standard “Refresh” state. Benefits: Reduces navigation steps from ~4 clicks to just 1–2. Improves visibility of ongoing operations. Enhances discoverability for less-experienced users. Aligns with Fabric’s focus on streamlined, context-aware interactions. ... View more

The auto-generated logos are square. However, if we have a square-design logo and upload, we are forced into a circle.  Not fair and annoying.   There should be an option to allow a square Workspace logo.   My preference would be that the default is to use a square but I'm sure the visual designers have their reasons for prefering a round logo--except for when MS generates a logo for the Workspace. ...

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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

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
