On many many occasions I have killed the Power BI Desktop process because I thought it was glitched only to realize when it closed all the windows that one popup was waiting for an answer and I could never see it whenever I clicked on the app icon in the taskbar. Sometimes I find out it was a popup because I perform the exact same steps but I do not shift focus to other apps until I finally get the popup that was blocking me before. Sometimes I'm able to see the popup by minimizing all open windows, sometimes I just can't see it and I know it's probably there waiting for me answer.. poor thing. ... View more

I would suggest that any data scientists who use Power BI do outlier detection directly from a data connection in Power BI inside a pivot table. You can easily program the Interquartile Range (IQR) statistical outlier rule into the creation of your pivot table from a data connection and have the results visualized inside your final pivot table. It works great and is faster than trying to pull data using Power BI onto a woksheet and then doing analysis from there. I created this video so that you can see how the rule actually works to analyze and visualize a simple column of data and then how a dashboard can be directly created from it. ... View more

I need to be able to apply date filters (for current dates) via an API to a Power BI report for export; currently, only old dates are possible.   Hello team,   Currently, I am working with an API to export Power BI reports through code in a notebook. I use various filters in the code to customize the report before exporting it in PDF format using DirectLake mode. However, I have encountered an issue with applying date filters. After several tests and consulting various documentations, I have validated that the date filters only work for old dates. I have not been able to apply filters for dates from the year 2000 onwards. This significantly limits the functionality I need. I would like to know if it is possible to implement an option that allows applying date filters for more recent years. If there is any way to modify this restriction, I would appreciate your guidance to make this configuration.   Thank you for your attention and support on this matter. ... View more

Microsoft Learn articles provide valuable insights, but finding and referencing specific articles can sometimes be challenging. I suggest adding a unique code next to the main title of each article. This would work similarly to smartphone model numbers, allowing users to search the code in a browser and quickly locate the exact article.   Benefits of this approach:   Faster Searchability: Users can simply enter the code in a search engine to find the article instantly.   Easier Referencing: Helps in discussions, support tickets, and documentation where precise references matter.   Better Bookmarking & Organization: Users can save or note down the code for quick access later.   This enhancement would make Microsoft Learn more user-friendly and efficient for learners and professionals. Looking forward to seeing this implemented! 🚀 ... View more

To enhance the usability and efficiency of data tables, introduce a feature that allows calculated columns created in Power Pivot to be automatically reflected and accessible in Power Query. This integration would streamline workflows by removing the need for redundant calculations and ensuring consistency across both tools. Users could directly use these calculated columns in Power Query transformations, making data preparation smoother and more intuitive. This feature would be particularly beneficial for analysts managing complex datasets, saving time and reducing errors while improving overall productivity. ... View more

Dear Microsoft Development Team,   I am writing to formally request an enhancement to the Power BI platform, specifically regarding its mobile browser compatibility when integrated with ArcGIS. As a professional leveraging the ArcGIS visualization within Power BI, I frequently need to share dashboards with public audiences via mobile devices. Currently, the lack of seamless mobile orientation support in web browsers requires users to download the Power BI mobile app, which introduces an unnecessary barrier to accessibility and diminishes the user experience. The strengthening partnership between ArcGIS and Microsoft underscores the potential for more cohesive and robust solutions. For instance, when accessing a GIS web application customized for mobile use through a browser, the interface adapts seamlessly to the mobile environment without requiring a separate application download. This level of adaptability is a standard I believe Power BI should aspire to, particularly given its ongoing evolution as a leading business intelligence tool. Enabling mobile orientation and full functionality within web browsers would significantly enhance the platform's accessibility, aligning with the growing demand for flexible, app-independent solutions. I urge the team to consider this feature as a priority for future updates, recognizing its importance to users who rely on the ArcGIS-Power BI integration for delivering impactful, widely accessible data visualizations. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am confident that addressing this need will further solidify Power BI’s position as a versatile and user-centric platform. ... View more

Make Direct Lake Only the default selection in the Direct Lake Behavior drop-down selector.   Benefits of Direct Lake Only:   - it gives faster performance than Automatic - it gives us a clear indication that fallback to DirectQuery happening (visuals fail) - Direct Lake respects relationship constraints, for example it makes visuals fall if there are duplicates values on the one-side of a relationship. DirectQuery doesn't respect relationship constraints. So we can get unexpected results if fallback to DQ happens.   Ref.: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/s/yGC5BHNvAm   https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFabric/s/KChWdRrOiT ... View more

With current pie and donut chart core visuals we are stuck with manually picking slice colors. It would add a lot of functionality if we could add a measure/conditional formatting for slice colors and data values. Also, pie charts where the min and max angles can be constrained can add a lot more ability to make creative and engaging visuals. For example:   ... View more

I use the Microsoft Radar chart visual, but one thing that really annoys me about it is that the "Y-axis" is always dynamic and a maximum value cannot be set. My suggestion would be to allow users to set a maximum value, as is possible for other visuals, to show how different values are scoring against a maximum possible score. ... View more

I would like to suggest a streamlined improvement to the Import Experience when working with the Folder Import method. Currently, users are required to manually paste the folder path into the input field, even if the path is already copied to the Clipboard. To enhance User Efficiency and provide a more User-Friendly experience, I recommend implementing a feature where Power BI automatically detects the content of the Clipboard and pre-fills the folder path field in the import dialog. This automation would reduce the number of steps required, simplify the process, and save valuable time for users. Such a feature aligns with Power BI's goal of delivering an Enhanced Usability and Streamlined Workflow for professionals who frequently work with multiple data sources. By incorporating Clipboard Integration, Power BI can offer a faster and smoother Data Connectivity experience. I truly appreciate the dedication your team has toward improving Power BI, and I hope you will consider this suggestion for future updates. Thank you for continuously delivering such an outstanding platform. Best regards ... View more

Dear Microsoft Power BI Team,   I hope this email finds you well. I would like to propose a feature enhancement for Power BI that could significantly improve its usability and interactivity:   Feature Request: Native Video Visual in Power BI   Currently, Power BI does not support direct video embedding within reports, limiting users to external links or third-party visuals. A dedicated "Video" visual would allow users to upload and play videos directly within Power BI reports, enhancing user experience for various applications, including:   1. Training & Tutorials: Embedding instructional videos directly within dashboards. 2. Financial & Market Analysis: Adding CEO speeches, earnings reports, or investor briefings. 3. Product Showcases: Displaying product demo videos alongside sales insights. 4. Surveillance & Security Analytics: Integrating security footage for real-time monitoring.   Suggested Features for the Video Visual: 1. Support for local uploads and cloud-based sources (OneDrive, SharePoint). 2. Basic playback controls (Play, Pause, Seek, Volume). 3. Support for multiple formats (MP4, AVI, WebM, etc.). 4. Integration with Power Automate & Power Apps for workflow automation.   This feature would enhance Power BI’s capabilities and provide a more dynamic and interactive experience for users. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and whether it is something that could be considered for future updates. Looking forward to your feedback. Best Regards, Surjeetsinh Nandkumar Thakur   ...
