The Refresh Attempts feature automatically pushes 3 consecutive refreshes on a dataset if it fails a single time, in hopes that it will succeed. This is helpful, but incredibly wasteful when considering the cost of each refresh due to cloud infrastructure costs.   This feature has quadrupled our cost of refresh failures, because typically when a refresh fails, it is for a valid reason, so the subsequent refreshes fail. This is especially problematic when cloud issues cause refreshes to fail for our entire tenant, effectively causing us to reach our cloud infrastructure cost quotas.   I propose that the refresh attempts feature should be able to be toggled on or off by Tenant, Workspace, or Dataset. ...

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

Provide a simple way to write formulas that work with the data displayed in a visual. For example, the running total of a measure in a table or in a chart according to the sort order of the visual should be something like this: Running Total = ReportData[Sales] + PREVIOUS ( ReportData[Running Total] ) Where ReportData is the content of the current visual, Sales and Running Total are the names of the columns in the current visual. The user is not expected to know the model content, the calculation can be executed on top of any data currently being displayed.

Currently, with the new multiple scheduler feature, we can define multiple run schedules for a Fabric item. However, when using deployment pipelines, there’s no way to control which schedules are active in Dev, Test, or Prod. This means schedules intended only for Prod must also run in Dev, consuming unnecessary compute.   It would be very useful to allow using the Variable Library or deployment rules to set the active/inactive state of each schedule per environment, making deployments more efficient and flexible. ...

When deploying from Dev/Non-Prod to Prod, the target’s pipeline schedule is overwritten. Please add deployment rules (or an opt-out) so schedules can be environment-specific without showing as drift in comparisons. This avoids Prod cadence being reset and reduces capacity burn in Non-Prod. ... View more

As explained here, currently, if we want to allow PowerBI users to create alerts, we must authorise them to create items in Fabric (without being able to restrict other items such as Data Pipeline, Copy Job, etc.). This is a real governance issue in the Fabric platform, because for a PowerBI user, it is legitimate to create an alert on a PowerBI report without enabling the creation of Data Pipeline, Notebook, and others that require other skills (and governance). https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Fabric-platform/Allow-PowerBI-users-to-create-alerts-without-being-able-to/m-p/4868832#M22557 Beyond the functionality of Data Alerts, I believe that access to the various Fabric features should be made modular. ...

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. ...

Support the creation of DAX calculation groups in Power BI Desktop - otherwise Power BI can only consume calculation groups created in Analysis Services, whereas it would be very useful to have this feature in any Power BI model. Even just a simple text window with a script would be fine. You can clean up the UI later. Thanks. ... View more

Interactive, data-driven Gantt charts, used to visually represent the timeline of various tasks and their dependencies, would be an excellent addition to help report creators display timelines and progress in an easy-to-understand visual format. Report creators could more easily visualize project analytics in real-time, improving end user collaboration amongst team members, and empowering them to make data-driven decisions towards timely completion of project goals. ...

This is purely for aesthetic and usability reasons.   Now that a default semantic model is no longer generated when creating a new Lakehouse, could we consider streamlining the user experience by merging the Lakehouse and its SQL analytics endpoint into a single item? At the moment, having them listed separately feels a bit redundant and visually inconsistent. Consolidating them would make the interface cleaner and more intuitive.       ... View more

Currently, Microsoft Fabric does not provide an option to copy an existing semantic model. This limitation makes it difficult for developers to reuse or customize models without impacting the original. With Direct Lake models becoming common, organizations often maintain large, centralized semantic models that serve multiple teams. Developers frequently need to: Experiment with new measures or calculations Create tenant-specific variations Build prototypes without risking changes to the shared model Proposed Enhancement: Add a “Copy Semantic Model” capability that: Allows users to duplicate an existing semantic model into their own workspace. Preserves relationships, measures, and metadata. Does not require edit access to the original model, ensuring governance and security. Benefits: Improves developer productivity and flexibility. Reduces risk of accidental changes to shared models. Supports scalable development for multi-team environments. ... View more

I would like if the Power BI Monitor Tab allowed users to create multiple custom filtered views and save them so that we can toggle back and forth or clear the filters without having to recreate them the next time. I am an admin for 18 workspaces (not all production), and need to check different combinations, and statuses (sometimes I want to see only the failures, other times I want to see what is in progres, etc), or I might want different combinations of columns visible/hidden. This tab is severerely under-utilized by me because of this.  ... View more

Visual calculations brought with them the ability to hide fields that are still calculated with the visual but are not displayed. It would be helpful to be able to choose one of these hidden columns as a sort column. One specific application of this would be to display the largest transactions in a ledger, regardless of their sign. ... 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. ...

In the Metrics hub (formerly Goals/Scorecards) in Power BI Service, metric values are automatically abbreviated (e.g., 1.164K instead of 1164 or 1,164). This compact format is useful for some scenarios, but there are cases where users need to see the full exact number without the "K", "M", or decimal abbreviation. Currently, there is no formatting option in the Metrics hub to disable this abbreviation or set Display units to "None" (unlike in the Metric visual / Scorecard visual within reports, where this is fully configurable). Request: Add a formatting option in the Metrics hub (either per scorecard, per metric, or globally) to: Disable automatic abbreviation Show full numbers (with optional thousands separator, e.g., 1,164). This would improve precision and readability for executive dashboards, financial metrics, or any scenario where exact values matter more than compactness. Thank you! ... View more
