To address the challenges of organizing and presenting data due to the limitations of column and row headers, a potential solution would be to implement a new matrix visual with customizable controls, allowing report creators to adjust the dimensions of columns and rows, group them hierarchically, apply diverse styles, and use conditional formatting. ...

In the Power BI Matrix visual, when multiple fields are placed in the Columns well, the hierarchy order is fixed. The first field always becomes the outer grouping, and there is no way to swap or control who groups who. This makes it impossible to reproduce common Excel PivotTable layouts, such as:   Metric → Date / YoY / YTD   Instead of being forced into:   Date / YoY / YTD → Metrics   Add the ability to swap or control column hierarchy order in the Matrix visual, similar to Excel, allowing users to choose which field acts as the parent grouping.   Why This Matters Matches Excel behavior users already understand Improves readability of multi-metric reports Reduces workarounds and duplicated measures Enables cleaner and more flexible analytical layouts ...

Hi, for some Fabric scenarios it is necessary to get data from some on-premises SQL source data (e.g. SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SAP, MySQL and so on), after some preliminary exploring, querying (in general, analyzing) operations on the related data, in order to detect the number of records, the primary keys, the data distribution for some fields, the table relationships and so on, without doing any ETLs, copies or mirrorings (in general, without any data movements). F.e. it could be more useful to have a SQL analytics endpoint that uses only the connections to the on-premise SQL source to explore and query the related data. Thanks ... 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

Problem Statement: Currently, Power BI only offers Row-Level Security (RLS) to control data access, but there's no native way to control which report pages users can see in the navigation pane. All users with report access can view all pages, even if those pages aren't relevant to their role. Requested Feature: Implement Page-Level Security (PLS) that allows report developers to: Define which user roles can access specific report pages Automatically hide pages from the navigation pane for users without access Prevent unauthorized users from manually navigating to restricted pages Business Use Case: Many organizations have reports with different sections for different audiences: Executive dashboards for leadership Detailed financial analysis for finance teams Operational metrics for operations staff HR metrics for HR department Currently, we must create separate reports or apps for each user group, leading to: Content duplication and maintenance overhead Multiple versions of similar reports to manage Increased workspace clutter Higher administrative burden Proposed Solution: Add a "Page Security" setting similar to RLS in Power BI Desktop Allow assignment of security roles to individual pages In Power BI Service/Apps, only display pages the user has permission to view Integrate with existing RLS roles for unified security management Benefits: Simplified report management (one report instead of many) Better user experience (users only see relevant content) Reduced administrative overhead Consistent with existing RLS security model More scalable enterprise deployment Alternative Considered: Creating multiple reports/apps works but creates significant maintenance challenges and doesn't scale well for large organizations with many user roles. ...

In this example, I'm using an Azure DevOps - Source Control connection configured with Service Principal authentication as shown on the image below      Using this connection, I'm invoking a interface Git - Connect - REST API (Core) | Microsoft Learn , following the example provided in Connect a workspace to Azure DevOps using configured connection example  and implemented using PowerShell script, in the image below you can see how the call is correct, but I'm getting an error "{"requestId":"xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx","errorCode":"GitProviderResourceNotFound","message":"The requested operation can't be completed because the Git provider resource could not be found using the provided Git connection details."}"        After a LONG INVESTIGATION following what the error suggested the problem was (e.g. ID of the connection incorrect, lack of permissions, etc)  and ruling-out many alternatives, I concluded that it wasn't none of this but the issue was that, on the target branch reference in the example shown "workspace/ws_test-auto-deploy_dev" did not contain "directoryName": "/fabric"    This is why the return error message GitProviderResourceNotFound is very misleading and should be more granular, it would have same me a lot of time something different like "BranchMissingDirectory" instead.  ...

If you try to call interface updateFromGit (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/core/git/update-from-git) with a Service Principal you get:    "Error details '{"requestId":"xxx","errorCode":"BadRequest","moreDetails":[{"errorCode":"PrincipalTypeNotSupported","message":"The operation is not supported for the principal type","relatedResource":{"resourceType":"Warehouse"}}],"message":"The request could not be processed due to missing or invalid information"}'" Same for error when you want to call interface deploy-stage-content (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/core/deployment-pipelines/list-deployment-pipeline-stages) using a DevOps connection configure with a service principal    This hinders automation for SQL-base deployment in Fabric!    ...

Need to restore the feature that send refresh failure notifications to contacts for Dataflow Gen1.

Hi, I generally use the mirroring feature to get data from an on-premise supported source at bronze level of the medallion architecture. In order to perform some data transformations and put the related data in a next lakehouse or warehouse I could use a dataflow gen2 that doesn't allow to select a mirrored database as a source. Moreover, also inside a pipeline it isn't possible to select a mirrored database as a source. I think that using a mirrored database as a source could be a good thing to have! Many thanks ...

We have complex RLS and audiences in our PBI/Fabric Apps.  We need to be able to login as a user to view their experience.  There is no worse-way to get user adoption then to send a user to a dashboard just to find out there is something missing with their permissioning and they get an error or a blank screen.   Executive adoption of PBI will never get off the ground if we can't ensure a seamless experience. I am sure this is the case for most organizations.   Even better, I would be able to login as them to view their "home page" experience to pin favorites and ensure they are easily routed to the right reports.   ...
