Feature Request: Add Key Pair-Based Authentication for Snowflake Connector in Power BI Description: We request the addition of key pair-based authentication to the Snowflake Connector in Power BI to address current challenges with existing authentication methods. Microsoft Entra ID-based authentication requires setting up additional infrastructure and services solely for authentication, which increases complexity and operational overhead. Snowflake's recent enforcement of MFA for password-based authentication makes it difficult to configure and maintain connections on Power BI Gateway, as MFA is not compatible with automated workflows. Key pair-based authentication would provide a secure, lightweight, and efficient alternative, eliminating the need for extra infrastructure while simplifying the configuration process for Power BI Gateway. This feature would enhance usability and align with modern security practices. ... View more

Problem: Currently, when a dataset is connected to a Lakehouse as a datasource in Power BI Fabric, it defaults to a cloud connection mapped to SSO. In embedded mode, reports built on these datasets fail due to a lack of identity, as they do not inherit authentication from the service principal. To resolve this, users must manually adjust the datasource settings via the Power BI service https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/direct-lake-fixed-identity   Proposed Solution: Introduce a new REST API or extend the current API functionality to allow programmatic setting (or re-setting) of the connection to the service principal, including updating datasources. Benefits: Automates the process, reducing manual intervention Minimizes downtime for embedded reports Enhances developer experience and deployment efficiency Ensures consistency in authentication settings across different environments Impact: This feature will significantly improve the workflow for organizations embedding Power BI reports using service principals, ensuring seamless and automated datasource authentication. ...

In the Fabric Data Factory, ten results are displayed after the pipeline execution, but it is not possible to verify which tables were processed by the executed activities. At this point, while it is possible to check the table from the input of the execution results, it would be helpful if it could be displayed directly in the execution results as it adds an extra step. Also, depending on the construction environment, it is assumed that processing may be carried out by specifying a file, and in that case, there is no need to display the table, so we consider it difficult to implement. However, if it can be realized, it would improve work efficiency, so I would appreciate it if you could consider it. ... View more

As a Fabric Administrator / Capacity admin in my organization, I have to work with many workspaces and not all of the assets (semantic modes, reports, dashboards) are built by an IT team. Some are built very jankly by novice users. Unfortunately the capacity is shared amongst all users and I have no way to limit the capacity consumption by workspace. That means that if a novice user deploys a bad data model to the capacity, all workspaces will essentially choke on itself and all users start complaining of slow dashboards and creating a negavtive impression of Power BI in the org.  I have been suggested by "Industry experts" to get another capacitity and assign all "development" workspaces to it, and vet datasets before deploying to production capacity. But again this only works if we have an army of IT resources (knowledgeable in Power BI people)  to vet ever single asset being deployed. But thats simply not the case. Additionally, we don't have unlimited budget to spend on Power BI / Fabric capacities unfortunately.  As such my idea is as follows: Somehwere in the admin portal / capacity settings, We add some kind of resource limitation setting by workspace. This way I can safely grant a novice developer a slice of the capacity without affecting the rest of my users on the tenant.  I could go on as to why this will benefit all of us in so many ways, but for the sake of brevity I'll leave it at that. If you'd like to understand the idea more please reach out to me.  ... View more

In Manage relationships -view, you can only filter based on cardinality and Cross-filter direction. Usually, I would need to see the relationships for certain table but this can be hard when I have many tables in semantic model. List can be very long and sorting by table name needs to be done separately for From and To sides.    It would be helpful to be able to filter by table name so, that it includes the table, if it is used either in From or To side in view. And also, please make it possible to widen the pop-up window to be able to see more easily the full names of the tables with long names. ... View more

If it was possible to offer a robust and customizable style management system for the matrix, it could be the key to enhancing the professional appearance of tables and matrices. Further, giving report creators the ability to adjust gridlines, color, style, and the addition of custom icons, bars, sparklines, and other elements, along with a variety of pre-designed styles, would significantly improve style management options for tabular elements. ...

I would like to be able to enter default values ​​that change depending on the period and without it "locking" the user to the default dates. For example: I would like my report to always display data from the beginning of the current year to the end of the current year and yet allow the user to switch to see the data for 2024 or only certain months in 2023 for example. And if we reached 2026 I would like the default dates to be between 01-01-2026 and 31-12-2026 ... View more

Similar to Excel, there should be a button so you can duplicate your current report and allow you to look at multiple panes.

When deploying Direct Lake semantic models via Deployment Pipelines, the Lakehouse source is incorrectly treated as an external SQL source. This results in broken lineage and prompts for credentials. Even when using deployment rules to update the SQL endpoint and database ID, the semantic model does not re-bind to the Lakehouse in the target environment. Expected behavior: Deployment Pipelines should natively support Direct Lake re-binding, maintaining proper lineage and avoiding unnecessary credential prompts. Current workaround: Using the semantic-link-labs library to rebind the semantic model programmatically post-deployment. ... View more

most of our data processing code was implemented in Scala. This choice was driven by Scala’s native integration with Spark, superior performance, full access to Spark features, strong compile-time safety, and more mature tooling and ecosystem support at the time. While PySpark has significantly improved—offering near API parity, better performance, and support for the Pandas API—migrating all our existing Scala code to Python might not provide the best user experience and could introduce unnecessary complexity.   Could you provide Scala support in AI features? ...

With the debut of DAX Query View and TMDL Script View, there should be an API to retrieve these files.   This capability would enable organizations to automate testing and deployments by programmatically accessing DAX Queries and TMDL scripts.   For example, a Notebook could iterate over semantic models in a workspace, retrieve DAX Queries for testing, and execute those tests using semantic-link. If tests fail, teams could take corrective actions based on the results. ... View more
