I'd like the ability to create short or friendly names for hyperlinks that are loaded into PowerBI from a data source not just in a text box

Our application developed ODATA Service, which we use to get the data by connecting to servers. When user tries to refresh the data by clicking on Refresh button on PBI Desktop, if the result set is not readily available, ODATA service displays a message, which is not shown to user as there is not static screen. Workaround is to click on Edit queries to view the message. It would be good if there is any screen that display the messages thrown by ODATA service.

We are exporting data to Power BI via REST API, and we can't create measures using DAX in Web designer. We need either DAX support in Power BI Web designer or ability to export datasource or report from Power BI Web to Power BI Desktop.

I have an Azure DB that my reports grab data from, and I've set up my PC to be a gateway, but the scheduled refresh frequently fails with this error message: "Microsoft SQL: Timeout Expired" I've noticed that if I connect to this DB via SQL Server Management Studio that I have issues seeing my tables while the powerBI gateway is running. Closing the gateway fixes the problem. Any suggestions how to fix this?

When I am merging two tables, it is easier t o navigate to the field I want to click on and then click the merge button. It would be good to autofill the first argument of the merge wizard with the field that I have highlighted before I click the merge button. Selecting fields in the wizard popup box is too small otherwise.

In many cases I have dynamic columns (for example 3 last months), in such cases when we refreshing the data and new month added it won't be selected in the visualization chart, I have to add it manually. It would be very helpful to have "all columns" option to make the process fully automated.

The august release of Power BI Desktop added the capacity to import Power View Dashboard created in Excel, into Power BI Desktop but... what about those Dashboards we have created with Power View for SP13? At least, capacity to import *.RDLX files to Power BI and avoid recreate them all!

The security model for custom visualizations is too restrictive - users need a way to accept a visualization once only. When I add a custom visualization to a report, PowerBI requires me to enable custom visualizations each time I want to view the report. Worse - if I navigate away from the report and come back to it - I have to re-enable custom visualizations, and any customizations I made to the visualization are lost.

We should have the ability to send a direct url to a user who wants to add a content pack. Currently I have to "train" the user to find content packs through the multi-step process. It would be great to have a single url for a content pack - then I can embed that url in a mail; or an internal website or anywhere else its relevant.

Can PowerBI support schema updates when refreshing an Azure SQL connection? Our team's telemetry solution to getting data in Cosmos to PowerBI uses the DnA Datagrid Egress's SQLizer that moves Cosmos data to Azure SQL. Due to the continuously changing BI needs of the team, we frequently change our table schemas and add/discard views.
