Summary: Power BI currently supports drilldowns (e.g., hierarchy-based navigation like Year → Quarter → Month) and drill-through pages based on filter context. However, there's no native support for "Drill Across" — a powerful feature in one of the well know BI enterprise tool that allows users to drill between unrelated attributes or columns, even if they aren’t part of the same hierarchy or table. Problem Statement: In many enterprise use cases, business users need to explore data laterally across unrelated dimensions. For example, from a "Product" summary, a user may want to drill into "Customer Region" or "Order Status" — attributes from entirely different domains or tables. This kind of exploration is not possible today in Power BI unless we create multiple drill-through pages with predefined relationships or use complex workarounds. Feature Request: Introduce native "Drill Across" capability that allows users to define custom drill maps or navigation paths between unrelated fields/tables — without relying on traditional hierarchy or model relationships. Similar to how MSTR allows: i)   Drill Up / Down (within a hierarchy) ii)  Drill Across (across unrelated columns/attributes) Benefits: 1. More flexible data exploration 2. Better user-driven analysis 3. Reduces the need for multiple drill-through pages 4. Aligns Power BI closer with enterprise-level BI features. Example Use Case: From a "Sales by Product" visual, a user could drill into "Customer Demographics" or "Shipping Status" — without needing to predefine all relationships or drill-through pages. Current Workarounds (Not Ideal): i) Creating multiple drill-through pages ii) Using bookmarks with filters iii) Modeling artificial relationships Conclusion: "Drill Across" would significantly enhance Power BI’s self-service capabilities and bring it closer to feature parity with other enterprise BI tools. Please consider adding this to the roadmap. ... View more

Currently, the Test as role feature in Power BI Service does not work for semantic models that use DirectQuery with SSO enabled. When attempting to validate Row-Level Security (RLS), the message “Test as role does not work with Single Sign-On (SSO)” appears. This limitation makes it difficult for developers and administrators to verify RLS behavior without involving end-users. ... View more

  The current inability to parameterize connections in pipeline activities means we need to use the same identity to run the pipeline activities across dev/test/prod environments.   This means the same identity needs to have write access to all environments dev/test/prod.   This creates a risk that code executed in dev writes data to prod, because the identity has write access to all environments.   Please make it possible to parameterize the connection of all pipeline activity types, so we can isolate the identities for dev/test/prod and make it physically impossible for a dev pipeline activity to write data to prod environment.   Here's an overview based on my trials and errors:   Activities that do have "Use dynamic content" option in connection:   - Copy activity  - Stored procedure  - Lookup - Get metadata - Script - Delete data  - KQL   Activities that do not have "Use dynamic content" option in connection:   - Semantic model refresh activity  - Copy job - Invoke pipeline - Web - Azure Databricks  - WebHook - Functions - Azure HDInsight  - Azure Batch  - Azure Machine Learning ...

We need an endpoint that would allow us to programmatically trigger a Power BI Service subscription, something akin to the Execute Subscription functionality that was part of SSRS / Power BI ReportServer. Benefits: Leverage the authorization & export functionality present in Power BI Service; no need to "roll your own" export + email functionality in Logic Apps / Power Automate Trigger the subscription as soon as data is ready and not before: prevent sending out the Weekly Point of Sale Summary if all the data hasn't finished loading until 15 minutes after the usual time.  No need to configure custom "from" identities for sending the emails Subscription activity remains in the same platform as the reports rather than over in Power Automate / Logic Apps / Data Factory Screenshot displaying paginated Power BI report subscription configuration and the "Send Now" button ...

Currently, Power BI does not provide a way to change the owner of a Dataflow via the REST API. This limitation creates challenges in scenarios where ownership needs to be transferred due to organizational changes, role transitions, or automation requirements. Having the ability to programmatically change the owner of a Dataflow would improve governance, reduce manual intervention, and support enterprise-level management of Power BI assets.   Use Cases: Automating ownership transfer when users leave the organization or change roles. Assigning ownership to service accounts for better control and monitoring. Enabling centralized management of Dataflows in large environments.   Impact: This feature would enhance administrative flexibility and support better lifecycle management of Dataflows, especially in enterprise scenarios where automation and governance are critical. ...

The Fabric Map item was released in preview in Q3 of 2025. One of the things we've noticed, is that custom coloring of shapes is not possible. Currently only data themes supplied by Microsoft can be choosen. We want to be able to add colors to the GeoJSON shape properties and be able to assign these colors as shape coloring, ovewriting a selected data theme. This can be fill colors, outline colors, text colors, etc.   The colors of the provinces in the map below are now defined by the Data theme.   In the data layer settings un Polygon settings, there should be possibilities to assign properties to shape colors. Or there should be section "Color settings".   Check the community discussion here. Thanks @akaplan1-slcc for asking a question about this. ... View more

When creating column-level security on a table, these columns are no longer usable for users in the group with this limitation.   However, when running a SELECT * statement, the error reveals the ' hidden' columns. The default SELECT TOP 100 rows error occurs for the same reason. When you click on the table, it shows an error, but no really understandable message.   I would suggest a code change that detects the column-level security and automatically applies it to the user, preventing this user from ever gaining any knowledge of the hidden columns. ...

Currently, when using the semantic model UI at 100% zoom on smaller screens or lower resolutions, table fields are not visible, making table selection impossible. Reducing zoom (e.g., to 80%) or using a higher-resolution display resolves the issue, which indicates a UI scaling and responsiveness limitation. ... View more

Description Currently, Dataflow Gen2 in Power BI does not allow refresh operations on flows targeting a Warehouse unless the user performing the refresh is the owner of the dataflow. Even users with full workspace permissions (Admin/Member) and Fabric capacity rights cannot refresh unless ownership is transferred. This limitation creates operational challenges, especially in enterprise environments where multiple users manage refresh schedules. In contrast, when the destination is a Lakehouse, refresh works without requiring ownership transfer, which is the expected behavior. Proposed Enhancement Allow any user with sufficient workspace and Fabric permissions to refresh Dataflow Gen2, regardless of ownership. Ensure consistent behavior between Lakehouse and Warehouse destinations. Optionally, introduce a service principal or delegated refresh capability for automation and enterprise scenarios. ...

Currently, Microsoft Fabric provides the ability to manage access to Copilot and Azure OpenAI-powered features at the Tenant and Capacity levels using the following setting: “Users can use Copilot and other features powered by Azure OpenAI” As a Fabric Administrator, I’m requesting an enhancement to allow Copilot access control at the Domain level. This additional layer of granularity would empower organizations to roll out Copilot features in a more secure, targeted, and manageable way—especially in environments with multiple business units or domains that have varying readiness levels or compliance requirements. Implementing domain-level controls would help accelerate adoption while maintaining governance and minimizing risk. ... View more

Currently, parameters defined in a Fabric Notebook’s “Parameter Cell” need to be manually re-entered when creating or editing a Fabric Data Pipeline. This manual process increases the risk of typos and inconsistencies, especially in larger projects with multiple notebooks and environments.   Idea: Enable Fabric Pipelines to automatically detect and import parameters directly from the “Parameter Cell” of a referenced notebook. This would: Eliminate manual parameter duplication Reduce the risk of errors Improve development efficiency and maintainability   Suggested Solution: 1) Define parameters in parameter cell   2) In Pipeline while configuring the Notebook activity, let it import the parameters by click:   3) Set type and default value based on the entries in the notebook:       ...
