Allow Power BI Desktop to list and access workspaces in the OneLake connector if the user has Build permission on a Lakehouse, regardless of their workspace role. Additional improvements: Respect object-level permissions (Build/Read) in Get Data connector. Provide feedback or error guidance in Power BI Desktop if access is denied due to workspace role. ...

When connecting to Azure Synapse Serverless SQL in Power BI Desktop, it's possible to leave the database field blank, which allows the semantic model to access multiple databases. However, in Power BI Service, when creating a shared data source using the SQL Server connection type, the database field is mandatory. This creates a metadata mismatch, preventing the semantic model, which relies on multiple databases, from using the shared data source. ... View more

We have realized on my team that the current ability for non service principal users to automate notebook runs through pipelines is not sustainable. There will be random failures due to authentication that happen after password changes are happen as a part of the normal semi-monthly cadence as required by most IT departments.   And when I say these failures are random I mean truly random. I have had 5 or so contributors making and automating notebooks with pipelines and only one of them has had this issue. But it happened on multiple pipelines and all on the same day about 4 days after he changed his password.   It can be resolved by making and saving any arbitrary update to the pipeline, but having these failures randomly start is a huge issue. Retries on the notebooks are ineffective.    I have already spoken with support and they have no obligation to raise this issue that is clearly a bug any higher because it is possible to solve the problem whenever it comes up just by re-saving the pipeline. But it is a huge issue that this comes up at all.   If this goes unresolved, all Fabric users should effectively expect that all of our pipelines may randomly start failing for no reason and that we need to babysit them all.    A more specific example of one of these errors is Failed to get User Auth access token. The error message is: Failed to get User Auth access token. The error message is: AADSTS700003: Device object was not found in the tenant ... View more

I have a report that needs to default to showing detail groups.  The +/- toggle is set to be the opposite of what users are expecting.  According to Grok, currently Power BI assumes the group starts hidden and displays the toggle with a + sign, the standard sign for drilling down.  There is no way to change this.  Also according to Grok, if the report is exported to Excel, Excel treats the +/- symbols correctly regardless of whether you defaulted showing the detail or not. ...

When connecting to a Postgres DB, I can't use a connection pool (PG Bouncer) because PowerBI sends the 'ssl_renegotiation_limit' parameter, which was deprecated 7 major versions ago in Postgres. It should not be sending this parameter, this is a huge bug and prevents users from using a connection pool. I am suggesting that Microsoft patch their native postgres connector and get rid of this ancient parameter which isn't used in any modern version of Postgres. ... View more

Hi, can someone please help with what would be needed to prevent scheduled auto refreshes on Semantic Models from disabling when there's inactivity? I have several reports scheduled to either drop into a folder or distributed via email. The process is awesome! However, overtime, the Semantic Model will disable the auto refresh due to inactivity because there's not anyone looking at a report online for it... Is there a way around this? ... View more

Right now you can only bring in the raw values from the ServiceNow connector's copy activity, and there is no option to include display values. ADF has this option when you go to edit dataset parameters so I don't see why this couldn't be included in the Fabric pipelines. Currently I have to use a web activity with the REST API to bring in these display values. ... View more

Hi all, I have two matrices in Power BI. I want to add the column from the second matrix as the first column in the first matrix. Is this possible in Power BI, and what’s the best way to achieve it?   I would like to achieve a result in Power BI similar to what I have in Excel, where I can add an AVG column to my matrix. Specifically, I have two matrix visuals in Power BI: First matrix: Rows: Description, DMA Name Columns: Month, Year Values: Total Sum Second matrix: Rows: Description, DMA Name Values: Total AVG In Excel, I am able to place the average as a separate column alongside my main table. I want to replicate this in Power BI by adding the AVG measure (from the second matrix) as the first column in the first matrix, so users can see both the AVG and the monthly/yearly totals in a single view. Currently, if I try to add the Total AVG measure to the first matrix in Power BI, it calculates the average for each month and year instead of displaying a single AVG column. This breaks the intended layout. I want the Power BI matrix to look like my Excel table, with the AVG as a fixed first column, followed by the monthly/yearly columns. How can I achieve this layout in Power BI?        ... View more

Greetings. There is a significant need in PBI Embedded for a built-in "Export Triggered" event handler like there is with data selected and button clicks (examples of Embedded events). Problem Statement The Microsoft Export data option is invaluable for embedded scenarios, but not having the ability to capture when a user performs an export app-side introduces several problems. Audit/Compliance Risk: In App Owns Data scenarios, the audit logs only capture service principal, so customers have zero ability to track which user performed an export. Having an event handler would let us log this app-side and correlate via activity ID. Activity Tracking/Limited Customization: Customers may want to trigger an event when a user exports (e.g., send email, log action, display toast message), and the lack of an Export event handler on the native Export function prevents this. For customers dealing with sensitive data or heavily-regulated industries that want/need to use App Owns Data, this forces them to have to pay developers to create a custom Export experience. Summary Please add an "Export Triggered" event handler. Having this functionality would unlock several capabilities with PBI Embedded and also make it easier/more cost-effective for customers wanting to use App Owns Data to leverage PBI Embedded. ...

Currently, the Power BI Relative Date Slicer and relative date filters only support positive timeframes (e.g., “in the last X days/weeks/months”). There is no way to directly filter for items older than a specific period (e.g., “older than 4 weeks” or “before the last 3 months”) without using calculated columns or DAX measures. Why is this important? For regular business reviews, such as project tracking, invoice aging, or compliance reports, it is critical to easily identify data that is “outdated” or “pending for a long time.” Having a native option to filter for data older than X days/weeks/months directly in the slicer or filter pane would make reporting much more intuitive and efficient. Sample use cases: Show all projects with the last invoice date older than 4 weeks Find customers not contacted in the last 6 months List records not updated for over a year Current workaround: We currently have to use calculated columns or complex DAX measures, which makes reporting less accessible for users and less maintainable. Request: Please add an option to the Relative Date Slicer and filter controls to filter for data “older than” a user-defined period (e.g., “before the last X days/weeks/months”). Thank you! ...
