It would be better if the Slicer Filter had the property so you click to replace a variable (rather than to include another variable). Then you could use ctrl to add and shift to select a range.

pinning filtered reports to dashboards makes it difficult to know what the filter once was on the dashboard. You must manually add it in the description after pinning. I want my dashboard to show all items that have been "Accepted" and when I click the report it should show me the default view for the report (all items pending in my case). Dashboard and Report default views are NOT the same...Dashboard is a quick summary and the Report is my drill down.

Migration of existing Excel workbooks that refresh successfully in old Power BI does not work as advertised. I have several reports with Project Online OData plus on-prem data sources that have successfully refreshed for months. New Power BI would not recognize the OData sources because they were not Power Query. This has caused me a lot of extra work.

The import data view is not logical. The import side starts with "connect to the data..." and the connect side starts with "bring your excel wb into..."

We can now share files in O365 many different ways. Using a file from an O365 Group or from Yammer--and optionally embedding a PowerBi report in the group or Yammer feed--would be interesting.

Better compatibility with IOS. Unable to see or use slicers on ipad or phone. You can see the dashboard, but unable to manipulate the visual with slicers.

I've just completed some entries for your Visualization contest. It was a time consuming and laborious effort. I think that not too many developers will want to contribute future visuals, features and bug requests without sufficient motivation. If you really want to encourage developers to write visualizations for Power BI, you should setup some kind of "Visualizations App Store" infrastructure where a customer or consultant can buy a license for the visualization in a variety of per seat / per year options and the revenue can be split between Microsoft and the developer. Microsoft could also have an all-you-can-eat model similar to Netflix and Amazon Unlimited, whereby the customer pays a fixed fee for a set of Visualizations and the developer gets a tiny percentage based on usage and inclusion in the customer's dashboard reports. If this was setup, I would probably happily make a lot of visualizations and maybe make quite a bit of money. Thanks for listening. Power BI is a pretty cool platform.

Today, the only way to add a filter to the GET DATA process in Power BI is to enter a custom query. that means that it is impossible to access large datasets without timing out because the "tagging fields" process pulls back too much data without a filter. Can you add the ability to use filters in the wizard, as you can now in Power Pivot, Tabular, and in Excel in the data designer wizard, into the Power BI Desktop app?

Hi I think there is a bug with the Map for Australian postcodes. For example a Darwin post 0f 0831 has been mapped to somewhere in Europe. Please look into this. Thanks

Currently, it's trivial to turn a list into a table, but not the other way around. Many transformations are more natural on a list than a table.

In our business environments it is difficult to justify to customer the need for some viewers of content packs to have create and publish access also. Ideally I am requesting that Content Pack be split by level or configurable in order to have some people have view access only and others have create and view both. (How SharePoint tiers, as context)

Would be great if we could tie data to the new Shapes feature that was introduced in the Sept update. For example being able to show/hide a shape, or change its properties dynamically would allow more interesting dashboard designs.
