For years, we have been requesting a new line item be added to the Related Content listing called “Next Refresh.” The current listing already displays “Last Refresh,” and adding “Next Refresh” would greatly improve how we use and monitor our Power BI reports. See the screenshot below.   Thanks,     ... View more

Enabling customized calculations at the query level for subtotals and grand totals would offer greater flexibility in reporting and preserve performance. Efficient organization of control settings to modify the style of these totals separately will empower report creators to achieve their desired appearance, while addressing their need for more control and customization in reporting. ...

Imagine a world where report creators can automatically apply slicer and filter selections based on specific logic, revolutionizing data analysis and user experience. This innovative approach eliminates any need for complex workarounds, optimizes slicer functionality, and paves the way for more efficient and effective data reporting. ... View more

Fabric’s SQL endpoint currently fails when the feature.v2Checkpoint flag is present in Delta log history. This flag is automatically set when tables are written with v2 checkpoints, which is the default when adopting Databricks‑recommended practices like liquid clustering. This creates a critical gap: Databricks promotes v2 checkpoints and liquid clustering as best practices, yet Fabric’s SQL endpoint does not support them. The result is brittle workarounds that block enterprise‑scale adoption. Ask: Enable support for v2 checkpoint policy in Delta table shortcuts so Fabric can align with Databricks standards, eliminate fragile workarounds, and unlock enterprise readiness. ... View more

When I create a hierarchy in a table in a semantic model (Fabric), I can't see the hierarchy in a pivot table in Excel. I used this feature frequently with semantic models in PowerBI, and really liked it. ... View more

Need to restore the feature that send refresh failure notifications to contacts for Dataflow Gen1. Currently, the notification is only sent to the Dataflow owner, and the option to add contacts in the refresh settings is missing. Previously, this feature allowed adding specific users to receive notifications when a dataflow refresh failed, which was very useful ... View more

Interpreting visuals without a clear legend to indicate logic behind specific styles can lead to confusion and decision-making errors. An idea to enhance clarity and transparency by ensuring legends and tooltips accurately display colors, patterns, and other visual components influenced by logics, would enable report consumers to easily understand the applied logic and make more effective decisions. ...

Description: Currently, when replicating tables from a SQL database to the SQL Analytics endpoint in Microsoft Fabric, all tables are included by default. However, not all tables are needed in the analytics endpoint. This creates unnecessary overhead and, in some cases, leads to lock situations in the SQL database during replication for certain tables. Problem: Some tables are not required in the analytics endpoint. Replication of these tables can cause locking issues in the source SQL database. There is no built-in mechanism to exclude specific tables from replication. Proposed Solution: Introduce functionality to exclude specific tables from replication. This should include: Explicit Table Exclusion: Ability to define a list of tables to exclude. Pattern-Based Exclusion: Support for regex-based patterns to exclude tables dynamically. Example: Exclude all tables ending with __b. Regex equivalent: .*__b$ Benefits: Reduces unnecessary replication overhead. Prevents lock situations on source tables. Provides flexibility for administrators to manage replication scope efficiently. ... View more

We would like information on which characters are supported or valid for workspace names, in the documentation. There should also be a description that gives an overview of the valid characters for workspace names in the Power BI service when creating a workspace. ... View more

Today, Power BI semantic models (datasets/DAX) work well when Power BI is the only BI tool. However, many organizations use Databricks as their lakehouse and need consistent, governed metrics across multiple BI tools, ML pipelines, and APIs. When the semantic layer lives only in Power BI: Logic is duplicated across datasets and tools Governance/security (RLS/CLS, masking) is fragmented Schema changes in Databricks break reports ML/AI pipelines cannot reuse business logic from Power BI models Proposal: Enable native Power BI integration with Databricks Metric View ...

Hi Power BI currently allows deleting report pages only one by one Large reports with many pages become slow to manage and reduce productivity. A multi-select delete option is needed to remove several pages at once. In addition, reports with many pages are hard to navigate. A search box for pages would help users quickly locate the page they need. Both features will improve efficiency and make complex reports easier to maintain. ... View more

We would like to be able to modify a Power BI Connection authentication config via API.   For example, for BigQuery connections, we would like to update their Service Accout key-based authentication config programatically: this would eliminate toil for people with several connections and periodic mandatory key rotations.   References: Power BI REST APIs for embedded analytics and automation - Power BI REST API | Microsoft Learn Google BigQuery connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn ...

Power BI needs a way to move gateway connections between gateway servers without having to recreate on the new server each time. As a large enterprise running Power BI, we have many gateway clusters that are now being capped at the 1,000 connection limit, forcing our users to constantly shuffle connections around to other gateways. We need the ability to change the drop down for gateway cluster in the connection settings and relocate it easily without having users recreate the connection and delete the old one. ... View more

The usefulness of tags would be greatly increased if Tags was a column in the Workspace view and the OneLake Catalog view. Perhaps it could be a configurable preference setting.  The current filtering functionality is great, but having better visibility in a list view would increase productivity since the user would not have to hover or click through to get each individual items tag(s). ...

Need to implement a  feature when slicer is bound to a parameter,it's selection logic should be same like regular column slicer.when using a multi-select slicer with the “Select All” option enabled, selecting “Select All” correctly checks all values. However, when a user deselects any single value, the slicer automatically clears all other selections, leaving only the clicked selected value which leads to difficulty to users to deslect the required value ...

When connecting to a semantic model currently, we have to use the workspace/lakehouse/warehouse unique id and semantic model unique id in order to analyze that semantic model.  Instead of using those unique ids attached to a very specific semantic model we should be able to have the ability to customize those unique ids to a static customizable user friendly names for ease of use and the best customer experience.  Currently if I want to analyze a semantic model in Microsoft Excel or another methodology, if I have to connect to that model with the unique workspace/warehouse/lakehouse id and unique semantic model id, why can't I use the user facing workspace name, lakehouse name and semantic model name?  Why are we using GUIDs in 2025?   Additionally, if I have a new model that needs to replace an existing model, I should be able to replace or rename that model to the existing model name and it should inherit the current model's lineage vs recreating and redeploying all the associated lineage items to the new model.  This would save so much development time it's ridiculous that there is no solution for this currently. ...

A Lakehouse Collation setting showing case sensitive vs non-case sensitive should be added to the exisitng lakehouse settings in Microsoft Fabric.  For years i've been able to change collations on a database on on-prem SQL and am able to re-populate those data tables to reflect the new collation moving forward.  This should be an option in Microsoft Fabric in the lakehouse settings which should allow me to change a collation on an existing Lakehouse without having to create a brand new Lakehouse and have to completely recreate anything in it's lineage such as semantic models, reports, etc.  Seems like we could do this for the last 20+ years in SQL and should be able to do this using a Lakehouse easily as well. ...
