My team are follwoing secure infrastrcture principals and want to disable account keys for storage acocunts across our estate.  However we are forced to use account keys in order to query azure data tables in power BI.   We would much prefer to use Entra ID to authenticate our users with Role Based Access Controls.

Context I’m a report designer working with complex pages that require many slicers. This is a feature request, not a bug report. The default slicer visuals currently limit dense layouts and create friction for end-users on laptops.   Feature requests for the default Slicer Side-docked header (header + body laid out left/right) Current behavior: The slicer header is fixed above the control, with the title text stuck at the top-left. Header and body can only be stacked vertically. Pain: On 16:9 or 16:10 laptop screens, vertical space is precious. When many narrow slicers are needed, a top header wastes height and prevents tighter layouts. Request: Add a left/right header docking option so the header can sit beside the slicer body (left or right). Include basic controls for header width, alignment, and padding. Keep the current top-stacked layout as default. Calendar popup scales to the user’s screen, not the report canvas Current behavior: With a date field, clicking the calendar icon opens a popup whose size is tied to the report canvas pixels. Pain: On smaller laptop displays the calendar is tiny, hard to read, and error-prone to click. Request: Make the date picker responsive to the user’s screen (or zoom level), ensuring minimum legibility and touch targets. Search style with customizable placeholder text Current behavior: The default slicer lacks a dedicated search style and cannot show guiding placeholder text. Pain: With long value lists, users struggle to find items quickly; a hint in the input would teach users how to filter. Request: Provide a search variant and allow a custom placeholder/hint (e.g., “Type to filter…”, localized).     Why this matters for complex reports My pages often include many fields and filters. I rely on bookmarks and groups to show/hide slicers, but maintaining bookmarks page by page is heavy overhead. Compared with modeling and measures, the current visual layer costs me more time than it should. Related asks (broader visualization UX): Batch edit / duplicate bookmarks Page grouping and “bookmark → go to page” Visual floating/fixed docking and more reliable z-order Better font support (including Chinese) These aren’t “nice-to-have” aesthetics—they directly affect usability, authoring time, and the learnability of reports with real-world complexity.     I fully recognize that BI is about data and measures, but good visual design is not cosmetic—it’s the foundation of usability. Recent updates have focused on “visual calculations,” while core layout and interaction options have seen little movement. For those of us building dense, production reports, the lack of basic layout flexibility (like a side-docked slicer header or a readable calendar) turns routine design into unnecessary wrestling. I hope the team can prioritize these small but high-impact UX upgrades. They would save authors significant time and make Power BI friendlier for the many users working on laptops.     ... View more

I just published a hands-on walkthrough of solving a real SQL reporting challenge using Microsoft Fabric.  Read the full article on Medium In this post, I cover: Designing a star schema with Sales, Product, and Date tables Writing SQL joins for clean reporting Replicating the same logic visually using Power Query in a Dataflow Loading the final result into a Fabric Warehouse for scalable reporting -- Create the Sales table CREATE TABLE Sales ( DateKey INT, ProductKey INT, SalesAmount INT ); -- Insert sample records into Sales INSERT INTO Sales (DateKey, ProductKey, SalesAmount) VALUES (20231201, 101, 500), (20231201, 102, 300), (20231202, 101, 400); -- Create the Product table CREATE TABLE Product ( ProductKey INT, ProductName VARCHAR(100) ); -- Insert into Product INSERT INTO Product (ProductKey, ProductName) VALUES (101, 'Phone'), (102, 'Laptop'); -- Create the Date table CREATE TABLE Date ( DateKey INT, Day INT, Month INT, Year INT ); -- Insert into Date INSERT INTO Date (DateKey, Day, Month, Year) VALUES (20231201, 1, 12, 2023), (20231202, 2, 12, 2023); Power Query Solution — No-Code Approach in Fabric Here’s how I replicated the same logic visually using Power Query in a Dataflow: 🪜 Steps Upload source Excel or CSV files to OneLake Open Power Query Editor inside Fabric Clean each table: Rename columns Adjust data types 4. Merge Sales → Product on ProductKey        #MicrosoftFabric #SQL #PowerQuery #Dataflows #Warehouse #StarSchema #ReportingTips ...

Hi Communtiy, Recently i was working on a request where the client wanted to see the last week value of my data. As the power bi refreshes daily there is no direct way to preserve all my key kpi value in the model. Like today is 12/8/2025 now even if i create a table with all the measure and the date value. Tomorrow the date wont be static it will change. So everyday the date value value will keep on changing and historical value wont be preserve. unless we capture it on an excel hosted on sharepoint via power automate. Which eventually i did. So shouldnt there be a way to store these value in the Power bi. I know it may consume spaces but there could be a way to maybe transfer those value onto excel automatically and not manually downloading it. ... View more

When connecting to SQL Database from dataflow, Power BI reads/load "datetimeoffset "  as DATE/TIME/TIMEZONE, but in order to set incremental refresh we need just DATE/TIME.

As a report developer for decades, I still get requirements for new reports that state the obvious "allow the user to export the data to Excel". Now that the browser version of Excel is so close to the app version, it seems to me that Power BI could just create an "Excel" visualization type that is essentially just the browser based Excel and allow users to interact with the data on screen (include a Save button). ...

Olá, equipe Microsoft Power BI Gostaria de sugerir uma melhoria na funcionalidade de gráficos de linha do Power BI. Atualmente, quando ativamos os rótulos de dados, eles são posicionados automaticamente, o que pode causar sobreposição ou uma disposição pouco clara dos valores por exemplo, valores maiores podem ficar embaixo e menores em cima, prejudicando a leitura. No Excel, existe a possibilidade de arrastar manualmente os rótulos de dados para ajustar sua posição visual, evitando sobreposição e melhorando a apresentação do gráfico. Seria excelente se o Power BI pudesse ter esse recurso, permitindo que os usuários ajustem os rótulos de dados livremente, deixando os dashboards mais claros, profissionais e fáceis de interpretar. Acredito que essa funcionalidade agregaria muito valor para quem cria relatórios e dashboards no Power BI. Obrigado pela atenção e parabéns pelo excelente trabalho com a ferramenta Atenciosamente ...
