In the current Edit Interactions experience in Power BI Desktop, interaction settings are edited on a visual-by-visual basis. This becomes very time‑consuming when there are many visuals on a page, especially if some are overlapping or hidden.   Proposed improvements: Add buttons to disable all interactions at once and to restore all interactions at once. Add a global interaction panel where designers can see and edit all interaction relationships between visuals (source ↔ targets) in one place, without having to select each visual individually. In summary, these improvements would save time and reduce complexity when designing reports in Power BI Desktop, providing a faster and easier way to manage interactions between visuals. This would make developing any dashboard much more efficient, allowing interaction settings to be edited, reviewed, and adjusted with ease, especially in reports with multiple visuals and complex layouts. ...

Hello,  Creating a template in Power BI is useful for maintaining a standard layout for a report/dashboard; however, it doesn't prevent creators from editing postions, colours or layout. It would be useful to be able to make sections uneditable to prevent people from altering areas that you want to be the same across all reports using that template.     ... View more

Currently, the Forecast feature in Power BI Desktop only allows us to use the “Ignore last” option to exclude recent data points. While helpful, this approach is limited because it only removes a fixed number of periods at the end of the series.  I propose adding the ability to exclude data by specifying a custom date range - for example, “Ignore from 12 Jan 2023 to 14 Jun 2023.” It would be much more flexible if we had the ability to specify a custom date range for the forecast input window - for example, selecting “From [date]” and “To [date]” boxes. This would allow users to: Exclude incomplete or anomalous periods anywhere in the dataset, not just at the end. Focus forecasts on stable historical windows (e.g., only 2019 - 2023 data). Run comparative forecasts across different ranges without reshaping or filtering data outside Power BI. This enhancement would make forecasting more accurate and user‑friendly, especially for organizations dealing with partial reporting periods or seasonal anomalies.  I’d love to see this added to Power BI Desktop to give us more control over forecasting scenarios. ...

Power BI custom connectors usually require users to manually install and update .mez files in the Power BI Custom Connectors folder.   This creates friction for customers and ongoing support overhead for SaaS vendors distributing connectors to their users. For example, we provide a Teamflect Power BI connector that allows organizations to analyze HR engagement, goals, feedback, and performance data. Every time the connector is updated, customers must manually replace the file, and many end up running outdated versions.   It would greatly improve the ecosystem if our connector could become certified, reducing the manual effort required on both the vendor and customer sides for installation and updates.

Here's an idea for MS PowerBI, I use a laptop with a relatively small screen at work, which makes it harder to use PowerBI.

Imagine having a left vertical page navigator with big icons instead of plain page names and being able to scroll through those if have too many pages, at the same time some fixed icons just below it (may be a horizontal parting line) making it half dyanamically scollable and half static icons for bug, archives actions etc. For most of our reports we have more than 5 to 8 pages, then we also have bug, archieve buttons as well, for all we use buttons as we use icons and assign actions of page navigation, I know this sounds like page navigator, but page navigator does not allow to have images (which represents the page info) to be added instead of name (I know we can add char icons but they are of no use), so I would like to see images could be added instead of text in page navigation, wherever Icon is not enabled, page name would appear. ...

Currently the breadcrumb trail in the service only allows you to 'back up' to the workspace level from the folder level, or from the report level up to the workspace level. When in a folder it would be nice to go back 'up' one additional level to see a list of all the workspaces you have access to rather than having to go the workspaces menu, open it, then select the workspace you want to go to. Similarly, when viewing a report it would be nice to be able to browse to the report's folder (if any) or to a list of workspaces, instead of only the workspace level. So in the main browsing view instead of: Workspace name > Report Folder name This: List of accessible workspaces (tenant directory?) > Workspace name > Report Folder name And in the report view instead of: Location: Link to Workspace This: Location: Link to Folder (if any)                Link to Workspace                Link to list of workspaces (tenant directory?) ...

After implementing custom database mirroring in our organisation here is small bit of feedback to improve the experience for others:   When using the preview feature of the uploaded parquet files in Fabric you get presented with the first 10 rows like this:   And I immediately thought my code made a mistake and didn't include the __rowMarker__ data correctly. I had to download and open the parquet file locally to confirm that in fact there are 0 in all rows of that preview.   But Fabric only shows values other than 0 here, not good feedback if you are just getting started. Please fix 🙂 ... View more

Currently, when a Fabric SQL Endpoint or Warehouse hits the 2,048 max connection limit due to application leaks (e.g., JDBC/TDS), the workspace enters a "hard deadlock." The Critical Gap in P-SKU: Unlike F-SKU (Fabric) users who can at least restart their capacity via the Azure Portal, P-SKU (Power BI Premium) customers lack a capacity restart button. If a rogue application saturates the gateway: T-SQL is blocked: Admins cannot connect to run KILL commands. No Self-Service Reset: There is no UI-based mechanism to "reboot" the endpoint or flush sessions. Support Dependency: We are forced to wait hours for 1st-level support to escalate to SRE teams just to clear a session table. It took 24 hrs to resolve and all admin & users not able to login and consume data. The Proposal: I am calling for a REST-API or Portal-based "Emergency Valve" in the Fabric/Power BI Admin portal: "Force-Disconnect All Sessions": A UI trigger that instructs the Gateway to drop all active TDS handles for a specific Lakehouse/Warehouse without requiring a T-SQL handshake. "Emergency Single-User Mode": A toggle to block all non-admin incoming connections while we remediate rogue application code. Why this is urgent: As we migrate enterprise workloads to Fabric, a single coding error in a JDBC-connected portal (internal app, external app) shouldn't be able to paralyze a P-SKU capacity with no path for admin recovery. ...
