Currently it is not possible to connect an on-prem instance of MS Dynamics CRM in the Power BI service. However, it still possible to connect to such an instance in Power BI desktop. So, the only way to share updated on-prem CRM data with colleagues is by manually refreshing data in Power BI desktop and re-publishing the workbook. We need a connector in the service in order to schedule automatic refresh of on-prem CRM data in the cloud. ... View more

Our typical workflow consists of dedicated report writers creating reports in the Desktop app. At the same time I'm working on improving the Data Model which consists mostly of editing M scripts in the Advanced Editor. Currently this can't be done at the same since everything is embedded in a single pbix. It would be great if there was the ability to break out the data model and reports into seperate files that the main pbix would load. They could each be checked into source control and worked on seperately. Taking it a step further, if every report was it's own file that the main pbix would load you could have multiple report writers and a backend developer all working at the same time. ... View more

The new QR scanner feature on mobile app only allows a chart or report to be viewed in real-time or while the scanner is focused on the QR code.

The Format Painter is a great tool, but the option to apply source dimensions to the target would be a great addition. Just as the alignment tools removed the need to enter specific coordinates for a series of items (most often slicers), we need a way to automate re-sizing of a series of items, too. ... View more

When you have a large number of dashboards, reports or datasets, finding the one you want can be difficult. What would be good is when you click on the Dashboard/Reports/Datasets heading, rather than collapsing / expanding, you get a sortable list of items for that category. You can then view by list or thumbnail, sort by name, usage, publish date etc. Something similar to this: http://www.tableau.com/about/blog/2016/2/tableau-93-has-arrived-50401 I know improvements are coming such as better ways to organise content and usage reports, and this idea would enhance that. ...
