Today data fresh failures just give a generic message. Refresh failed. Once you report this to support they have no way of corelating your refresh request with their backend traces. there should be an activity id that is put in as part of the refresh failure message - so that you can give that activity id to the support engineer to troubleshoot

Right now, SSAS can be installed in a clustered configuration, but it is just a generic service and does not properly use the underling Windows Server failover cluster like the SQL Server database engine. SSAS should work the same as SQL Server and be properly protected.

Now we have an option of connecting to sql azure from Office 2013 Excel sheet.We can use Power Query or Power Pivot to create models in excel but if we can have an option to connect sql azure from POWER BI SAAS based application like we are connecting to SALESFORCE to get real time data then it will be really helpful.I know there are number of configurations required to connect sql azure,but i guess it can be done by MICROSOFT to pull a data source and pinning the reports in dashboard.

I would like to try GitHub as a data source but when I attempt to connect it to my account PowerBI requests full access to all public and private repos. Would be nice if I could test it on just my public repos and if it proved useful then connect it to my full account.

Especially connecting to SSAS Tabular model which might be very complex and may have 1000s of attribute and lots of measures, it would be nice to see them in customized group that is more suitable to business's need. it would be easy for end user to find the measures and fields from the field well..

Rank or show preferred sources, such as authoritative or preferred industry sources when searching for data sources. There are a lot of data sources out there, and it would be nice to have preferred/authoritative sources come up versus less-preferred sources. If not part of the tool, the ability for our Org to apply filters or preferences to our users, that would be nice as well! Thanks!

The PowerView dashboard will become more robust when it is possible to have regions integrated into the maps (such as country/City/Zipcode/County etc.). In the Power BI designer Preview it seems that the first step has been taken to build this functionality and further development of this feature would be a great. Seeing the filters/slicers work directly on an interactive map (that are not just bubbles but can actually represent a geographical location) is a very powerful visual tool.

Share - How To: Include the Share feature for designer and reports, even if it can't be shared, to explain that fact. Also, always have the help imbedded at the spot where it says you can't to explain the ways that you can. All of this is primarily designed to share. Eliminate dead ends with redirects.

This should already be on your radar, but we need direct publishing from Power BI Designer into the service. Something like, File - Publish instead of Save as a file and then uploading via Get Data.
