Kindly, we need to make a change in the visualization as my manager often prefers to use charts in the same way as slicers. Specifically, he would like to select a data point in a visual, such as a clustered bar chart, and have that selection affect slicers as well as visuals on other report pages. Please make the necessary changes if possible, or let me know what I should communicate to my manager regarding any limitations or alternative solutions. Kind regards, Mohamed ... View more

Hello Microsoft Power BI Team, I would like to suggest an improvement to the line chart feature in Power BI. Currently, when data labels are enabled, they are positioned automatically, which can cause overlap or unclear placement of values, for example, larger values appearing below smaller ones, making the chart harder to read. In Excel, there is the ability to manually drag data labels to adjust their visual position, preventing overlap and improving the chart's presentation. It would be great if Power BI could have this feature, allowing users to freely adjust data labels, making dashboards clearer, more professional, and easier to interpret. I believe this functionality would add significant value to report and dashboard creators in Power BI. Thank you for your attention, and congratulations on the excellent work with the tool! Best regards, Guilherme Albano ... View more

Olá, equipe Microsoft Power BI Gostaria de sugerir uma melhoria na funcionalidade de gráficos de linha do Power BI. Atualmente, quando ativamos os rótulos de dados, eles são posicionados automaticamente, o que pode causar sobreposição ou uma disposição pouco clara dos valores por exemplo, valores maiores podem ficar embaixo e menores em cima, prejudicando a leitura. No Excel, existe a possibilidade de arrastar manualmente os rótulos de dados para ajustar sua posição visual, evitando sobreposição e melhorando a apresentação do gráfico. Seria excelente se o Power BI pudesse ter esse recurso, permitindo que os usuários ajustem os rótulos de dados livremente, deixando os dashboards mais claros, profissionais e fáceis de interpretar. Acredito que essa funcionalidade agregaria muito valor para quem cria relatórios e dashboards no Power BI. Obrigado pela atenção e parabéns pelo excelente trabalho com a ferramenta Atenciosamente ...

When users copy text from an Excel cell directly into the new beta text fitler, it is copying hidden characters.    Therefore the text filter is not fitlering the data as it should and we get no result.   To solve this, users need to copy the text inside the cell in Excel itself and paste this into the new beta text filter.    Please, update this beta text filter so that it ignores these hidden characters "CR" carriage return and "LF" line feed. ...

Is it possible to pass an array, ideally an array of json, to a base parameter? For example, I want to pass something like this: ActiveTable = [ {'key': 'value'}, {'key': 'value'} ] I only see string, int, float, and bool as options for the data type.       ... View more

With the introduction of public parameters in Dataflow Gen2,  you are now able to modify the arguments passed to a data source function (such as the server and database name for the Sql.Database function). However, when you pass a value that alters the values that were originally defined for the Dataflow, to create its resource path), the Dataflow throws a credential challenge error because the connection that was linked / bound to the Dataflow is specific to the originally set resource path.   This idea is a request to enable dynamic connections so that an user can use the same set of credentials (or token) to refresh a Dataflow regardless of how the resource path was changed after passing values through the public parameteres of Dataflow Gen2. ...

Please can we get the ability to create calculated columns in a Semantic model, that is created in a Fabric Lakehouse/Warehouse.

In Fabric, dataflows have a read-only mode, which occurs when a developer is not the dataflow’s owner.   Please allow developers to choose to open a dataflow in read-only mode. This feature is valuable because it lets developers make temporary changes—such as adding filters or test queries—to explore or troubleshoot a dataflow without any risk of unintentionally modifying the production version. ...

I'm having an issue migrating my old Power Pivot One Windows models to the Windows Fabric semantic model.    My original Power pivot connected directly to the One windows server and I was able to create the query easily using the "Table Import Wizard" to pull in all the fields and set up the filters with out having to write DAX statements (which I know very little of).   I tried to the same with the Fabric server and re-create my query in Power Pivot, but I'm getting a user authentication error. My understanding is that Power Pivot is not compatible with the way fabric authenticates and therefore the connection cannot be stablished.   I tried a work around creating a table using the "Import Table" function in the Windows fabric selection which actually works well for me as it has an interface which helps me set the query very easily and creates a table that's connected to the server and which I can import into my Power Pivot model. But then I have another issue with this one too, as once the table is created there is no way to go back to the query set up screen to modify the original filters and or fields .   Is there a way in which I can go back to the table/query set up screen and modify the setting of the query thru there?   thanks!       Fabric Table creator     Power Pivot connection error   ...

When a table isn't available, PowerBI desktop (or whatever interface) should popup and say that the table isn't available and ask if you want to remove it.   I'm using PowerBI desktop to edit a semantic model and when I clicked refresh one of the tables wasn't available in the lakehouse the model was pulling from. The model quietly just dropped the table and all the relationships.    Now I have to go back in and add the tables and rebuild the relationships and hope I restored everything just like it was. ...

This Learn page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/refresh-scheduled-refresh#schedule-refresh states "After two months of inactivity, scheduled refresh on your semantic model is paused. A semantic model is considered inactive when no user has visited any dashboard or report built on the semantic model. When scheduled refresh is paused, the semantic model owner is sent an email. The refresh schedule for the semantic model is then displayed as disabled. To resume scheduled refresh, revisit any dashboard or report built on the semantic model." The definition of inactivity on a report should not depend on manual/human interaction via the user interface, considering that Microsoft offers standard API's and even low/no code integration options from the Power Platform to retrieve & consume reports. As the subject says, API report interaction should álso prevent the scheduled refresh on semantic model to be paused due to inactivity.   The well-known workaround to add a subscription on each report to prevent the refresh to be disabled is not a suitable fix as it does not tackle the root of the problem - in other words, this message does not quite qualify as an "idea" since the current conditions to define inactivity are at least a gap, if not a bug.   That being said, please vote for the "idea" if you face the same problem 🙂 ...

When exporting data from a table, columns of type date/time export as a value as expected but Excel does not display the value by default. A simple format cells can fix the issue but I believe the "General" format does not pick up the date/time correctly to format and display it. Power BI could include the format when exporting excel files so Excel would know how to display each column to match the Power BI display of the table.  ... View more

When querying notebook runs via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/core/job-scheduler/get-item-job-instance?tabs=HTTP) it always returns the failure message "Job instance failed without detail error" for failed notebook runs without further details.   When I triggered a notebook run via https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/core/job-scheduler/run-on-demand-item-job?tabs=HTTP and checked the status of this notebook run near real-time, I noticed that shortly after the failure the exception was included in the response, but it disappears after 5 to 10 seconds (see below screenshot).   Always returning the exception details for a failed notebook run, would help understanding why the notebook run failed without the need to jump into the notebook run history and check in the item snapshots what happened.   @felicitynyanfyi ...

Please add a Find and Replace feature in the Advanced Editor within Power Query. This feature is badly needed for users working with large, complex M code scripts. When editing long queries with many steps, it's currently impossible to search for variable names, column names, or specific expressions within the editor itself. There is also no way to do a basic "Replace All" operation, which forces users to copy the code into an external editor like Notepad++ or VS Code, then paste it back in. Adding even a basic Ctrl+F / Ctrl+H interface (like in DAX editor or Visual Studio Code) would greatly improve productivity and reduce human error during manual code edits. ... View more
