it would be great if you could add buttons or even forms that are displayed in the dashboard. These buttons or forms would then send the data to a defined webhook that can be used to initiate simple internal processes.

Example use cases: - You could have analytics data from your mailchimp and you decide it would be great to send a newsletter (pre-made). By clicking a button send, a web hook is fired that could then be integrated (by the user, not by Microsoft) no send an e-mail campaign - You have integrated with GitHub and notice one repository has a pull request, you could accept - You have a social media feed coming in from Azure stream analytics and you want to be able to quickly retweet any interesting posts on your organisations twitter. You can then simply add a button for each row that will send the row data to a webhook that is listened by a Logic app (or any other software) that will then retweet the data. ... View more

Now that the "analyze in excel" has been released it would be nice if Excel Online recognized Power BI an internal data source. This would allow users to make Pivot tables in excel (connected to a data model) and upload them as "First Class Citizen" excel files with full functionality.

Or just an excel custom visual - this would really help out on your tables, which (design wise) are not your proudest moment ;o) Thanks for a fantastic product! ... View more

Microsoft has developed the "geophoto" app. It would be great to have the functionality in Power BI, with a range of filters like date taken, etc from the photo's metadata read in from onedrive just like geophoto does it. Additionally, it would be great to display events from databases or excel along with their corresponding coordinates in tooltips on maps (check out awesometables on google sites with their map widget).

A competitor--Dundas BI--gives the user the ability to transform data without the need to import the data. This is possible because there is a database backend for Dundas BI. I would love to see this ability in Power BI Desktop--the ability to make transforms using DirectQuery that doesn't actually manipulate the data source. Specifically, I'd like to be able to use the "Replace Values" in DirectQuery to make some of my data more meaningful. ... View more
