One of the benefits of MS office is it's inter connectivity. Being able to connect Power BI with Word (for written summaries on dashboards), excel is already incorporated, but Access, OneNote, etc... That's a signature of Office Products. Power BI should be no different.

With the removal of the connection to SQL Server Standard License (worked with the first preview) the potentials to a lot of Power BI users is out. The entire SME business is left out to use this feature although you can still use the connection through Excel and Pivot. Ideal would be to be moved this license restriction to Power BI Pro account instead of the free version.

It would be great to be able to Combine data of multiple SharePoint lists from different sites as one single data source. It would need to state all lists that should be combined - and data should be simply consolidated based on same column-title. This is a Standard requirement actually all my customers had for mainly reporting reasons.

If I drill down on a chart I'd like to be able to specify a default sort on each drilldown level. Lets say I drill down on a column chart that shows orders per month in order to see how many orders from each customer. I'd like it to sort by number of orders. Right now, it seems to decide on some other sort by default, like by customer name.

I noticed that the completed installed base of our machines was not shown on the Bing Map. After experimenting I realised that it was because our ERP system works with 2 digit ISO country codes, while it seems you need the 3 digit country code. Our ERP system is limited to 2 characters. It would be great if Power BI supports 2 and 3 digits, For example, the country code RU did not show our machines in Russia.

It would be great to be able to add a grand total column/row to a column/bar chart. For instance, if I have four sales regions and I plot sales by region on a clustered column chart, I would like to be able to add a fifth column that shows the total for all regions. Similar to this functionality in Tableau: http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/online/mac/en-us/calculations_totals_grandtotal_turnon.html

When importing a bunch of files, for example csv files, it would be greate if the import path and some of the file attributes are imported as well. At the moment we need to build a function that adds the file and reads the conent as sub table that need to be expanded and so on. Adding columns for the file attributes will give us more abilities to play with these data also.

Enable text in cards so it will show which data is selected. For example. I'm showing data of one general ledger account, the card would show which GL this is.

Would be great to tell the performance story through infographics as these are becoming more readily understood by the general public, and can be used to communicate to a variety of audiences in a simple, engaging and accessible way

Currently the data Labels are just the values displayed in a graph, often it is required to have one or more measures as data labels to provide additional context to the data being display. Ex. If you have a bar graph showing sales for different regions yo u might want to have YoY% as a data label

Currently there is no ability to control where data labels are placed on a graph. Could you please add this functionality similar to Excel where the report designer can control the placement of data labels (Ex. In a Bar Graph) at the bottom, in the middle or at the end). This is extremely essential to design great reports and dashboards

Excel already does this well... Our example: We have a client with monthly data (Revenue, Target, Prior Year...) for various products. We want to graph this data or display it in a table. The data must always be first sorted by month (Jan, Feb, Mar), but then we also want to sort by the values in one of the columns, e.g., Revenue, ascending or descending. Right now, the secondary sort is alphabetical, based on the product name.
