Migration of existing Excel workbooks that refresh successfully in old Power BI does not work as advertised. I have several reports with Project Online OData plus on-prem data sources that have successfully refreshed for months. New Power BI would not recognize the OData sources because they were not Power Query. This has caused me a lot of extra work.

Once you click on a Filter, you usually no longer need access to the My Workspace pane. Why not have an option to automatically close it when you start filtering in order to give the user more real estate without having to close the pane

Create a kiosk mode within the Power BI mobile applications. It would display a specific report on the startup of the Power BI app, allow you to auto refresh the report on a specific interval, and alternate through slides on a specific interval.

I want to filter a report for a specific item of the data source with no ability for the user to change this filter. If I use report filter, they can change it. I would like to be able to specify that this item will not be changed. I have found a solution in setting the filter in the visual element filter, but after that, I was not able to supress the report filter (after saving the filter is still there !). I had to create again the report !

There should be a way to launch the powerbi app through a URI protocol / scheme and link back to the calling app. (See http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Mobile-Apps/Integration-Options-with-other-apps/m-p/3924#M129) This deep launching mechanism would be able to launch directly into a report and provide a seamless integration with external apps.

In Excel you have four sections where you can add column data: Ʃ Values, Axis (Category), Legend (Series), and Filter. Into the Legend and Axis sections you can add Ʃ Values. In which case if I have 2 value columns A and B the Axis points would be A and B. Hopefully this makes sense, or you could try it out in Excel.
