In PBI Desktop on the right hand side there is a list of tables and their fields. When the fields in a table are shown, the sign and name of table is indented more to right than the field names. It looks illogical and also makes it more difficult to distinguish the end of one table and beginning of next one. Better visibility would be welcome. E.g. Swap the places of table sign and arrowhead or put frames around table name row or set a background color for table name row.

HI, There is now a DAX measure that exists to display the value that is selected by the user, which is called "selected value". Could there be a measure that displays a list of values selected by the user within the same column, that would be called "SelectedValues" ?

Right now, if I want the values in my rows to be my column headers and there are multiple values for each, it is an extremely complicated process to achieve that. It should be easy to take the distinct row values and pivot your table so that they are your column headers.

We are experiencing lots of problems trying to refresh power Bi Datasets that query databases, either in Power Bi Desktop or using the On-premises data gateway. The problem is that after refreshing a table, the database connection doesn't close. Currently, we are full of open connection from Power BI in our databases. And in some of our databases we have a limit on the number of connections each user. As a result, reports fail to refresh. Is there any way to force the connections to close after the refresh? I think is a really nasty BUG

It would be awesome if there was an option for Power Query within Dataflows (in the Power BI Service) to 'View Native Query', just as is possible in Power BI Desktop (in the right-click context menu for Applied Steps - for those unaware, if 'View Native Query' is greyed out then Query Folding is no longer active at that step). This would be great to quickly determine whether Query Folding is still valid, rather than having to copy the M script back into Power BI Desktop to utilise this great little trick to test for Query Folding validity.

If you have a field with more than one URL, than Power BI concatenates the URL's; this is undesired behavior. It would be nice that a link is recognized even if there are more than one in a field.

As we migrate from content packs to apps, it would be nice to prevent users from downloading/getting content packs. Give us the option to remove content packs from the store without deleting the content pack. This will allow people to continue using reports from content packs but prevent additional downloads of the content packs. We need this option because we can't delete a content pack because it will delete the reports from ALL workspaces where the content pack was downloaded/consumed.

Right now, the PowerBI App has some great funtionality. However, my carefully formatted and sized slicers and other report components, which look great on the computer, look terrible on the app.

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.
