I have read quite a lot about licencing on Power BI but I am still not quite sure whether we can use the free version of Power BI Desktop with Report Server when it is licenced under the 'SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Software Assurance'. Can anyone confirm? What I want to do is create reports using Power BI Desktop, publish them to the Power BI Report server and have other people in my organisation view the data, without needing their own licence. Is that possible or do we have to buy licences for the viewers? Thanks

I have a report where I keep several items pre selected on a slicer. I cannot use the report level filter because, for some reason, it arbitrarily selects a percentage of items to list. The problem isn't that a slicer must be used, I really don't mind the slicer. The problem is, when adding new selections it randomly clears a portion of those who were already selected. This is a list of our vendors (around 281 total) and we highlight about 25 - 30 to monitor. If I add five more, the slicer will go from having 30 selected to having about 22 selected plus the one I just clicked. There is no rhyme or reason and it is never the same ones dropped. It is very frustrating to have to go back through the entire list to find what was dropped and add new ones. Any suggestions? Can slicers please maintain all selections when adding new ones?

Please add the Power BI Release (e.g. Apr-2019) to the Details? I read somewhere that April 2019 was scheduled to be released on 4/5/2019. On 4/5/2019, there was a release dated 4/4/2019. However, when I had IT install that version, it was only March 2019 (perhaps an update or fix?) rather than the new April release. Today, 4/10/2019, there is another release, which I assume is April 2019. Now, I need to request IT to update my entire team again.

I would like to login to PowerBI.com and it go directly to the reports section for whatever default workspace I define and skip the dashboard section. I realize this would not be beneficial to all, so I asking for a Preferences section where I can set this as my default (workspace as a default) as well as as we never use Dashboards, only Reports. So it would be nice to make Reports my default in a preferences area for my account.

The ability to publish only structure and not data would be really nice. today if I want to make a minor change (eg. correct a spelling error on a button) I Have 2 options : 1) Uploade the change without updating data and hope no one uses the report until next update so data is 4 days old for 2 hours. (Holds breath) 2) click Refresh, wait for Power BI to refresh 1 GB of data, save the dax file, publish = im waiting 5-10 minutes Taking this idea even further: It would be super nice if the file was 1 part data and 1 part framework - this would also mean i could save changes in a 1gb file in milliseconds and not in minutes.

Currently We can able to Obtain Dataset Refresh History By using API. We Need to Obtain a list of all Dataflow refresh start time and end time in workspace. It will be very helpful if Power BI Implements this feature.

When I am merging two tables, it is easier t o navigate to the field I want to click on and then click the merge button. It would be good to autofill the first argument of the merge wizard with the field that I have highlighted before I click the merge button. Selecting fields in the wizard popup box is too small otherwise.

Currently, when a user selects the years of 1999-2014 from a slider and then wants to change the range to the years to 2015-2016 by adjusting the beginning year first, since 2015 is larger than the end of the original year spread (2014), it will not accept it and reverts to 1999. The user is forced to type in the ending year first, then the beginning. This is not intuitive and trips up our users.

In Tableau, you can simply drag the mouse over multiple values that would like to select in a table, and the subtotal of the highlighted items is provided in a tooltip-like box. Need this feature in Power BI.

Power bi should provide option to restrict underlying data @ Visual level not on tenant level. Underlying data might contain sensitive data which should be restricted. We have not displayed sensitive data on visual level but user can download entire data set by using this option.

Create an entrance page for users where they can see all the reports or dashboards they have permission to. Something that is like a menu but looks good, with small icons of the first page of each model. Like qlikview has.

On an internal webpage, we provide direct links to Power BI shared reports. Whenever we add/delete groups to the shared report/dashboard (share), Power BI redirects ALL users to the Power BI Home page (https://app.powerbi.com/home) the first time a consumer tries to click on the direct link. This leaves the consumer confused thinking the link doesn’t work. The second time they click on the link, Power BI correctly takes them to the actual report. Please fix this to prevent redirecting to the home page after changing report/dashboard shared groups.

Currently, when drilling through on a matrix, it is possible to right-click and drill through from any cell in a matrix. However, it may be that essential data as defined by the measures in the Matrix Values needs to be passed to the drill through report, or the drill through report won't make sense (for instance, a dynamic Year selection may be portrayed as the column headers for those Values). We would like to be able to disallow drill through on the row headers in a matrix, as drilling through on a row header cell will not be able to pass a single year as defined by the Values measure
