Please make it possible to use Managed Identity with Fabric items like Notebooks and Data Pipeline.   Benefits: No need to handle credentials. The item won't be related to a physical person. Then, we can give the Managed Identity access to read (and write to) data storage items in other Fabric workspaces, Azure SQL, ADLS, Dataverse, etc.   So that we don't need to rely on human users, and also don't need to handle credentials. ...

Please make key pair authentication available on Microsoft's Snowflake connector.

There is a lineage view issue when a manually created Mashup query is used to build a semantic model that connects to a dataflow. The document mentioned that lineage between semantic models and dataflows is not guaranteed if a manually created Mashup query is used to connect to the dataflow. Lineage in Fabric - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn When connecting to the dataflow on the desktop and using the Power Query advanced editor, I tried entering the dataflow name and workspace name instead of the dataflow ID and workspace ID before publishing. However, they were unable to see the dataflow in the lineage view.   The customer requested a feature that allows the mashup query, which includes the dataflow name and workspace name and publishing it to display the lineage view correctly.     ...

Considering the most powerful and versatile machines are being built on ARM processors and many developers preferring these machines due to the extended battery life, or performance per watt, I think it would be critical for Microsoft to start developing Power BI Desktop to be fully compatible with ARM64 processors. Windows ARM with a snapdragon processor is a great machine. It is where all machines are going. It's time for Power BI Desktop to get up to speed with everything else. ... View more

Hello Dear Fabric Team,  it is very painful for all of us interoducing Microsoft Fabric in Big Enterprises where Security and Governance have a big role. My suggestion is to be transparent and clear to add in appropriate Place (Power BI / Fabric Admin Portal or in Azure Portal) just a list of needed endpoints including required Ports and a yes/no check-status if the connection to each endpoint/host:port possible or not.   if it is not possible the IT-Sec Team must setup the right Firewalls/Proxy configuration Thanks Best Regards ZN ...

I’d like to suggest adding the ability to configure quotas for Microsoft Fabric workspaces, applicable to both new and existing workspaces. This feature would allow administrators to set limits on compute capacity (CUs) and storage usage, helping organizations better manage resources, control costs, and prevent overconsumption. Having workspace-level quota controls—similar to those in other Azure services—would greatly enhance governance and operational efficiency across larger environments where multiple teams or departments share Fabric capacity. ...

Currently the only way I have found for Power BI to recognize my hierarchy/WBS codes for which I organize my data is by creating new columns based on the delimiter then, when out of transform, turning it into a hierarchy. If there was a data type that was recognized as a hierarchy we could use it to organize our data, sort it, and filter it based on levels of the Hierarchy. Furthermore, my WBS has a name associated so once I deconstruct then reconstruct it no longer recognizes the name. While I know there are always other ways of creating a heirarchy, just having a data type that recognizes the data as such would cut out a lot of steps. ... View more

Secondary axes are automatically managed by the system in some cases, making it problematic for report creators with no control over intervals, ticks, and other crucial components, limiting effectiveness of various types of analysis.

Fabric/power BI users have requested a capability to programmatically update the gateway cloud connection associated with data sources used in Power BI semantic reports, via a REST API. Currently, changing or managing gateway cloud connections for data sources within semantic models (datasets) often requires manual updates through the Power BI Service interface or Power BI Admin Portal. This can become time-consuming and error-prone. Proposed Capability: Kindly introduce a Power BI REST API that allows users to update the gateway or cloud connection bound to a semantic model's data source. This feature would enable improved automation, governance, and scalability for enterprise BI teams using Power BI as a part of modern DevOps workflows. ... View more

Enable individual users / freelancers to study and practice fabric with a per-user license similar to Premium Per User in Power BI. F2 is a price point that is too high for them.

Currently, when using the “Apply to: Labels” option in matrix visuals for conditional formatting, Power BI applies the formatting to all row headers, including both regular rows and subtotal rows. This behavior is consistent across both Power BI Desktop and the Power BI Service, and it is not configurable to scope the formatting to only subtotals. This limitation causes confusion and inconsistent visual behavior—especially in scenarios where users want to highlight only subtotal rows for clarity in large hierarchical matrices. In semantic model .pbix files, the formatting may appear more scoped due to local model context, but in live-connected reports, the formatting engine lacks the metadata granularity to distinguish between subtotal and non-subtotal labels. Proposed Enhancement:  Introduce a new option in the “Apply to” dropdown for matrix visuals that allows users to apply conditional formatting only to subtotal labels. This would provide parity with the existing “Apply to: Values,” “Totals,” and “Subtotals” options and give report authors more precise control over formatting behavior. Benefits Enables cleaner, more intuitive matrix visuals in both semantic models and live-connected reports. Reduces formatting inconsistencies between development and production environments. Improves accessibility and readability for end users by clearly distinguishing subtotal rows. Eliminates the need for workarounds such as importing models or using custom themes.
