  Grid Overlay for Visual Composition in Power BI Challenge: Designing visually balanced dashboards in Power BI often requires manual alignment of visuals, which can be time-consuming and imprecise — especially when aiming for aesthetic harmony. Idea: Introduce a built-in grid overlay feature in Power BI’s canvas settings. This grid would act as a compositional guide, similar to those used in graphic design and web development, helping users align visuals with precision and elegance. 12-column by 8-row grid as a compositional guide. This structure not only simplifies alignment but also echoes the proportions of the golden ratio, helping create layouts that feel naturally balanced and visually engaging.   Suggested Grid Specs: 12 columns × 8 rows Adjustable transparency Toggle visibility on/off Optional snap-to-grid functionality Inspired by golden ratio principles for layout harmony Benefits: Enhances visual structure and consistency Speeds up dashboard design workflow Empowers users to create more professional, presentation-ready reports   Why it matters: As Power BI continues to evolve as a storytelling tool, design precision becomes just as important as data accuracy. A native grid overlay would be a small but powerful enhancement for both analysts and designers.               https://www.linkedin.com/posts/sigita-burskyte-olivier_powerbi-datadesign-goldenratio-activity-7378501884518539265-jvkG?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAC1CpI0Biz4L0kxAl7W9b_Qise_rrwLwg8Y        ...

I have two workspaces, Central Data Workspace (CDW) and FB Reporting (FBR) and I'm an admin role in both workspaces. CDW is an F64 premium and FBR is only a pro workspace.  I love the RLS Test As Role feature and want to use it more going forward. However, I am intending that we use a central semantic model from the CDW with a DirectLake connection for most sales reports. The sales reports will live in the FBR workspace and others like it. When I use the RLS Test As Role feature, I'm unable to view the report in a different workspace although I am an admin and should have access to it:    ... View more

Currently, Power BI does not provide a native Power Query connector for ClickHouse. As a result, when we connect to ClickHouse (even in Import mode), we are unable to use the full Query Editor (Power Query) experience. This creates significant limitations: We cannot apply transformations in the Power Query editor. There is no support for query folding, which forces us to preprocess data outside Power BI. We lose consistency with other officially supported databases like SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. ClickHouse is increasingly being adopted as a high-performance analytics database in modern data stacks. A native connector would allow users to: Seamlessly connect to ClickHouse from Power BI. Use Transform Data / Query Editor to clean and shape data directly. Benefit from query folding to push transformations back to ClickHouse for efficiency. Request: Please add a first-class Power Query connector for ClickHouse in Power BI (supporting both Import and DirectQuery modes). This would bring ClickHouse in line with other officially supported relational databases and greatly expand Power BI’s usability in analytics pipelines. ... View more

Hi Could you please add "sharepoint" to the power bi report export download optios so that one can save .pbix copy directly to sharepoint location instead of downloading into local or uploading same into a sharepoint or downloading .pbix into onedrive sync folder (so that it reflects in Sharepoint online). power bi (online) -> local  -> sharepint (online). Why not power bi (online) ---> sharepoint (online) as .pbix file  ... View more

Power BI currently has YEAR and MONTH functions, but no MONTHNAME function to directly return the name of the month. This would improve clarity, reduce reliance on FORMAT, and make DAX more consistent and intuitive for users working with date fields. ... View more

Hi In our Projects, Power BI reports are refreshed every days and reports are being downloaded and again uploaded in Sharepoint online . Could you it be possible to add a Timestamp along with the report name in the end ? i am that sharepoint online maintains .pbix file overwrites same file and creates a new version but some of sharepoints users are simply members or view level permissions are provided and hence versioning is not completely visible. Instead we rename existing version and upload new report (with refreshed data) into sharepoint. Thanks ... View more

Currently, Power BI does not expose the current page name or page ID to DAX or the data model. This limits the ability to make reports more dynamic. Problem: There is no way to detect which page the user is viewing. Without this, it’s not possible to apply page-specific filters, restrictions, or dynamic behavior through measures. Workarounds (like disconnected tables, bookmarks, or field parameters) require manual maintenance and don’t scale well. Proposed Solution: Provide a function (e.g., CURRENT_PAGE() or similar) that returns the current page name or a unique page ID. Make this function available in DAX, measures, and possibly conditional formatting. Benefits: Enable truly dynamic filtering depending on the page. Allow building context-aware measures that adapt automatically. Reduce the need for manual workarounds with slicers and bookmarks. Improve governance and security scenarios where certain data should only be visible on specific pages. By having access to the page name (or page ID), report authors could implement many dynamic filters, restrictions, and conditional logics that would make Power BI reports more powerful and flexible.   ...

When a table in a semantic model is renamed (for example in a Power BI report connected to a Lakehouse), all relationships and DAX measures break because they still reference the old name. This forces users to manually fix measures, calculated columns, RLS roles, etc. Proposal: Add an option for guided rename inside the model designer so that when a table is renamed, all references in measures, relationships, RLS, and calculations are automatically updated. Benefit: Saves significant manual rework, reduces errors, and improves productivity when evolving models. ... View more

Currently the GUI of Copy Job allows you to select specific columns of a source table. But it is not excluding the ingestion to those tables. Instead it queries the entire table and only uses the selected columns for the mapping taking place after the ingestion. It also states that it only applies to the mapping, so it's not a bug, but please allow the column selection to alter the query to the source.  ... View more

I often create groups and use that field to populate dropdown slicers, rather than the source field values.   Recently I've noticed that if you have a slicer using grouped values which is synced over multiple pages, when you select a value in the slicer on page X and move to page Y, the slicer on pag eY shows "All" rather than the selected value.  If you navigate back to page X, that will also show "All".   This means that users think that all values are being displayed rather than the filtered values. ...

I've got a measure that produces an average number of seconds across multiple Rows of the data table, but I can't display this result as [h]:mm:ss format in Power BI like I can in Excel. I'm stuck dealing with either decimal seconds/minutes/hours, or converting it to a formatted String, which can't be displayed in a column chart. It's absolutely reasonable to show this as either a Duration type or at least a Time in [hh]:mm:ss format and still be able to chart it out (e.g. Line/Column chart/axis labels, not just Table/Matrix cells).  ...
