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. Strong limitations in time and resources available would make sense, but there should be a clear monthly cap that cannot be like the current F2. ... View more

Azure EventHub to Fabric Eventstream Connection should be authenticated via RBAC roles. Currently it only supports Shared Access Key authentication which requires manual management of Keys. It would be preferred to use Role Based Access Control. If it is possible to use the workspace management identity this would completely avoid long lived access tokens and thus increase security. ...

Currently, when exporting data from a matrix, the export counts the underlying data rows, not the rows displayed in the matrix view. While this works in some contexts, it presents challenges when working with large datasets.   The ability to export the matrix view rows rather than the underlying data rows would be a significant improvement, particularly when managing large and complex datasets. I have invested a considerable amount of time in developing a comprehensive architecture for row-level data reconciliation. As you're likely aware, when data is unpivoted, the difference between exporting matrix rows versus underlying data rows can be substantial—potentially expanding from 400,000 rows to 5 million rows, depending on the number of columns.   For data professionals and business power users, the data warehouse serves its' purpose, but the reporting solution in Power BI is crucial for bridging the gap between IT and business stakeholders. This change would not only enhance our current data migration and reconciliation efforts, but also provide users with a more streamlined and efficient experience when leveraging Power BI’s powerful visualization capabilities.   I believe this enhancement is especially relevant now with the advancements in Power BI and the integration of Fabric for staging physical databases. It seems feasible to adopt a semantic model that accommodates larger outputs and allows for a customized switch between matrix view rows and underlying data row counts.   This improvement would further elevate Power BI’s capabilities, and ensure that users can work with data in a way that better matches their needs and workflow. It would also help address challenges that are currently making solutions like Tableau 👎 more appealing for large-scale reporting tasks.   Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this potential enhancement.   Best regards, ... View more

There are situations/cases in which the user needs to enable "Include in report refresh" only one query and disable for other queries.  And when time comes to refresh all queries enable  "Include in report refresh"  for all queries again.  Currently this option can be enabled/diabled only for one query at once. Therefore it is operation burden on user in a schenrios like above.  Would be nice to have option/setting to  Disable or enable "Include in report refresh" for several queries at once ... View more

Currently, when creating a shortcut in Fabric to ADLS Gen2 containing delta table, it does not work properly when checkpointPolicy configuration is set to v2.  Reference: https://github.com/delta-io/delta/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md#v2-spec From time to time it fails with an error: Delta table 'X' with '_last_checkpoint' file references version 'X' but the associated checkpoint file is missing from the _delta_log directory. But it is not missing, it just stored in the sidecars folder which is a new addition in v2. ... View more

It would be awesome to be able to detach panes and views in Power BI, similar to the floating panels that Adobe uses. This would free up a lot of space on the screen with the report canvas open. Ideally I'd love to work with the Table View, Report View, and DAX Query View open on seperate screens, and maybe have the Build and Format panes on other screens. This would REALLY speed up productivity and hopping between views, and avoid this ugliness: Thanks for reading my idea, and sorry if it's been brought up before, I looked but found it difficult to search through all Power BI ideas.     ...

Understand that this is just a repurposed forums in some fashion, but would be great to fix up this 'Idea' section a bit with some polish.   What is 'Top Kudoed Posts' - do you mean most upvoted?  (You use 'Votes' everywhere else)   Looking at the first 'Kudoed Post' with 4k upvotes it says "NEEDS VOTES" in all caps.  What?  Needs votes for what, to be considered?  How many votes does it need, is 4k not enough? Is this just a status that means it's not WIP or something?     Also, the top post shows as being posted in 2024 but all the comments are from 2020 - is 2024 when it was created or last updated?  Confusing.   There are like 30 items in the 'Categories' dropdown filter, did you use a RNG to determine ordering?  Some Fabric items are near the top, some are near the bottom, it's obviously not alphabetical.   Having a 'Top Ideas' tab is silly if you default to including Completed ideas.  Default to NON Completed ideas otherwise the first several pages by default are items that might have been completed years ago.   ...

When I open a Notebook, it automatically opens the expanded Explorer pane (to the left). I rarely use this, so every time I open a Notebook I have to: - Collapse the Explorer pane (to the left) - Click on the View tab in the ribbon (at the tip) - Open the Table of contents pane (to the right) - Wait for the Table of contents to load   I would like to be able to persist the view/layout for each notebook (or alternatively as a user setting) so the next time I open the notebook I will by default see the Table of contents instead of the expanded Explorer pane.   (Additionally, I would love to be able to move the panes between the left and right sides, but that's less important.)   This would be a quality of life improvement that would save developers time and make the development experience much smoother. ...

Yeah sometimes i want to add very specific slicer (or even some slicers), that i want applied to only one particular table but that also doesn't interact with the rest of the apge. Right now what has to be done have to turn all the interactions off manually (and it's not uncommon to have to dozens of visuals on each page), and everytime I want to add new one I have to remember to go to that slicer and edit interactions. Or add parameter table that superficially refers to the column i want to use and then put that parameter table as a side-filter for the visual and manipulate the parameter slicer to change filters. Wouldn't it be easier if there was a way for visuals to have option/state of visuals so they are "turned off" by default and only then i could manually edit interactions for that particular visuals it has to affect?  ...

Scenario: All available dimensions are in the filters pane for users to interact with.  Some of those dimensions are also used in slicers.    Issue: When a filter is applied using a slicer, the filter pane does not update to reflect that particular dimension has been filtered.  Thus, if the user is looking at the filters pane, it will not be readily apparent that a filter is applied.  The filter pane and slicers should "talk" to each other, so that when one is used - the filter can be "seen" no matter whether the user is looking at the slicer itself or looking at the fields in the filter pane. ...

The visual Card (New) doesn't move when having the visual selected and using the keyboard arrow keys. Is anyone else experiencing this? Other visuals do move, but this one doesn't, even after changing it back and forth.   See my other community post's reply from @danextian for an example.  https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Power-BI-Desktop-New-Card-visual-doesn-t-move-with-arrow-keys/m-p/4597948#M1378599      ...

When you switch off auto-column width sizing as property setting on either visual, you actually want to control the width manually or via the Measure-hack-trick. But sometimes measures change and you add/remove fields in the visual. It would be great to retain your custom width settings and not reset it when making changes to the fields - especially when auto-column width sizing is turned OFF. It takes a lot of effort to display these columns perfectly, and having to redo this takes a lot of effort and wasted time. ... View more

It is frustrating to lose the full-screen view when navigating between linked reports in Power BI. Unfortunately, Power BI does not currently support maintaining the full-screen view when opening a new report in a different browser window. This behavior disrupts the user experience, especially during presentations or when working with multiple linked reports. Maintaining the full-screen view would enhance the continuity and fluidity of navigating between reports. Request: We request the team to consider adding support for maintaining the full-screen view when opening linked reports in new browser windows. This feature would greatly improve the usability and presentation capabilities of Power BI. ... View more
