Context: Company I am in recently started using Power BI Desktop after months of gruelling TDA approvals and sign-offs to acquire the tool. Company uses other BI tools but mainly promotes Power BI Desktop and one other tool as there main BI tools. The company does allow self-service capabilities versus a sole team providing reporting for all others within the company. A user recently found out that Power BI Desktop lacks auditing and because of data governance within the company, this has caused the company to take drastic measures, including but not limited to removing access to Power BI Desktop across the company (for users that have the tool) although a lot of the departments using Power BI have heavily invested in the tool.   Problem: So as some of you may have seen/experienced, there is no native auditing of the Power BI Desktop tool itself (much like Microsoft Excel). While you do have Audit Logs within Power BI Service, there is nothing that tracks in-app changes for all users using Power BI Desktop where users have not published a report. As such, as long as users have the relevant credentials and access, they could potentially connect to any datasource they want to (within the tool) with potentially no view of this (certain datasources may let you audit who has access the source and how, but if the source isn't used within the company then there is no view of this). This also means that users could store files locally where they have connected to data sources that they were not supposed to be connecting to; they could connect to a data source very briefly and close the tool, after not doing anything else.   Solution: Essentially a tool that tracks in-app changes of Power BI Desktop users within a company. This would allow the company to gain metrics on how Power BI Desktop is being used and what users are connecting to regardless of whether it has been saved loaclly or accessed on a one-time occassion.  ...

I store some things in Dev like utility notebooks and true under development projects, and keep them in folder like DO NOT PUSH. Was looking to have the ability to toggle visibility to the comparison in deployment pipelines to make comparison faster. Could be folder specific, or object specific, I don't care which.   Thanks! ... View more

I’d like to request the addition of support for custom HTTP request headers in Power BI Report Builder, similar to what is already available in Power BI Desktop. Currently, when connecting to APIs in Power BI Report Builder, there is no option to include request headers (for example, Authorization: Bearer <token>). This limitation makes it impossible to connect to APIs that require authentication, which is a very common use case. In contrast, Power BI Desktop already provides this capability, making it much easier to work with APIs that need authentication or other custom headers. ... View more

n Microsoft Fabric, capacity management is currently manual or script-based, which can be inefficient and costly for organizations with predictable or intermittent workloads. I propose adding native auto-pause and auto-scale capabilities for Fabric capacities (e.g., F64, F2) based on usage patterns or scheduled time windows. This would allow tenants to: Automatically pause capacities when idle (e.g., nights, weekends). Automatically scale down to lower SKUs (e.g., F2) when usage is low. Automatically scale up when usage increases or during business hours. Receive cost-saving recommendations based on historical usage. This feature would help optimize resource usage, reduce costs, and simplify administration — especially for Fabric-only tenants or those with predictable workloads.   Benefits Cost savings for organizations Reduced need for custom automation scripts Improved governance and control Aligns with Azure’s existing autoscaling capabilities   ...

Hi, At the moment there is no way to export the people with permissions for a report / workspace. At least for now I do not have this option and getting a list a copy/paste is needed, but it's quite cumbersome to do all the cleaning, and even the whole list can not be copy-pasted at the same time. Enabling this would make the maintenance of the list way faster and simpler. ... View more

I have numerous matices and tables in a large PowerBI report aggregating loan data in many ways.  It would be great to add a simple visual calc item to simply put the current row # on each row without having to write a bunch of ranking dax measures.  anyway ranking measures wouldn't work for me - I want the row # listed to show position in the matrix or table respective of the visual itself, not by ranking the actual data.  so not matter how the data is sorted, the first row always shows 1, second row 2, etc.  This is simply to provide reference numbers to the audience viewing the report.  anybody have any ideas?   Or if this exists somewhere please let me know! ...

Currently, Power BI requires all visuals to have a static column for the X-axis. Measures like RANKX or TOPN work only with columns that are known at compile time. When trying to create a dynamic ranking visual where the X-axis can be changed via a slicer, the engine fails because column references are only resolved at evaluation time. This limitation prevents users from building fully interactive Top N or ranking visuals without reshaping data or creating multiple measures/visuals. A built-in ability to reference a dynamic column in DAX measures would: Enable a single chart where users can select the dimension (column) to rank on via a slicer. Eliminate the need to duplicate measures or visuals for each column. Improve usability and reduce model complexity, especially for large datasets with multiple dimensions. Work seamlessly with existing Top N filters, dynamic slicers, and ranking measures. Proposed behavior: Introduce a DAX function or enhancement where a column variable can be used as a reference inside RANKX, TOPN, or other aggregation functions. Ensure it works in all visual types (table, matrix, clustered/bar/column charts) without requiring data reshaping. Maintain backward compatibility with existing static column references. Use case example: A sales operations team wants a Top N chart of revenue by a dimension selected by the viewer. Currently, they must either: Reshape the data (unpivot columns) and build helper measures, or Create separate measures and visuals for each dimension. With dynamic X-axis support, the same chart could update based on a slicer, making reports more interactive and reducing maintenance overhead. Impact: This enhancement would greatly improve the flexibility of reporting, reduce modeling complexity, and allow users to leverage DAX more effectively in interactive dashboards. ... View more

We manage our workspaces by team, which I think is sensible, but we obviously have senior leadership who want to view reporting across those teams. I want to build a dashboard for those leaders so they can see all the key information from the reporting we create in one place, but the advice from Microsoft is I need to recreate all the reports in a new workspace to create a dashboard that has the visuals on. That's surely a really clunky way of presenting data? Can't I just manage the permissions to the reports and pin the visuals from multiple workspaces? ... View more

Hello, Recently there was a asked from business to add a font style which they already using in their other products. Now they want the same in Power BI reports.
