Typically in a dataset I will want to pin a few totals, averages or so on based on a particular category (these are KPI type metrics that would show a single number on a pinned item, not a chart), For instance if I am looking at 2 major regions I would like to be able to pin a Q&A question like "total revenue for the region west" along with "total revenue for the region east" both to my dashboard. If you do this now they both have the same name of "Total of Revenue", which is very confusing, since they are not the same number. If you would be able to pin those numbers and change the label on the pinned measure it would have a much better outcome and you would be able to break down measure by categories. ... View more

Supply a data flow destination connector for SSIS that'll allow us to push data into PowerBI via the api calls (with options to overwrite/merge/create datasets/tables if they don't already exist) Myself and most BI devs/consultants I know usually aren't the best .net coders, so having a pre-built connector in an ETL tool we know would be a massive time saver. There was a data streaming destination task added for powerbi previously, this could be something similar or maybe a new feature in the existing task: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Publish-SSIS-Packages-as-OData-Feed-Sources-90f9067f-3aa8-48e7-bc85-a8170886e9fb?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US ...

In Power BI Designer, I loaded two datasets. One had 8 fields, the second has 11. This created all kinds of developer unfriendly problems that should be easily solved. 1) Can't collapse datasets. All datasets are fully expanded always. 2) Because of this and the initial fixed size of the field list, the last field in the second dataset was not visible even when using the internal scrollbar for fields. 3) I finally figured out I could stretch the field list's internal section with the horizontal divider between it and the report layout section. During stretching, the last field became visible, but as soon as I released the mouse button, it disappeared again. I had to finally stretch it so that the scrollbar itself disappeared and all fields were visible. 4) But now the report layout section is miniscule and can barely show any single aspect (Values, Axis, etc.). 5) And if I add a third dataset (thereby completely precluding the possibility of containing all the fields on my desktop without scrolling), the last field of the last dataset is completely unreachable. So anyway, definitely need to fix the scrolling / field visibility. I'd recommend if possible making it dockable / detachable from the main window. Also perhaps a search bar at the top to filter the fields I want. Anyway, field selection needs a bit of UI love. ... View more

It would be great to have the Q&A feature for dashboards based on an analysis services tabular model dataset. Also it would be good to either automatically hide the test box for entering a q&A search (or provide an option) when the dataset does not support q&a so that the user is not confused. thanks.. ...

How sexy the data looks is sometimes more important than how accurate it is! I love a light grey/dark grey colour scheme as much as the next person, but it be great to be able to brand the dashboard with the organisation colours/background watermark/logos etc. Maybe offer an option to modify the default CSS used - similar to how blogging sites like blogger allow you to change your page layouts/colours with a simple admin gui or completely change it by rewriting the CSS ...

I'd like the ability to use the model in an existing excel powerpivot workbook (not uploaded to powerbi) as a data source for PBIDesigner or even directly in the powerbi dashboard. Ideally it would work similar to the connection to an on-premise tabular model. I believe tableau offer functionality to connect to a powerpivot model in an excel workbook ... View more

Sometimes, there are some modifications to the underlying data set and to update it, currently you need to delete the dataset which will delete all the reports. This requires recreating the reports every time when you want to modify the dataset. Should be able to bind report to different data set explicitly as long as they have same table/fields. Or maybe if we can export report's definition and easily recreate report from definition will also be good. ... View more

If you setup a data source using the Power BI Analysis Services Connector that shows up in the Power BI online Dataset repository you should allow the use of that dataset directly from the Power BI Designer. This will allow you to publish reports using the already shared dataset and it also gives you a better experience querying a tabular data source then the Power BI Designer does now when connecting directly to the tabular instance. I would say this should also apply to any other 3rd party data source created there for the likes GitHub, Salesforce, etc. You should also be able to open reports that have been published and edited in the service in the same way. ...

Hi, At the time of this Preview, MSFT is marketing the new Power BI report designer as a tool for those who don't have Excel 2013. However upon using the designer it is quite evident that it has features that Excel 2013 does not have, such as the ability to have many-to-many relationships without DAX coding and additional chart types (e.g. trees). Plus the Power BI file extension denotes that this seems to be a completely different report format from what we can do in Excel (xlsx files and embedded Power View rdlx). I am wondering if MSFT plans to reconcile those new features in Excel, as well as to push some of the Power BI / SharePoint online features back to on-premise. Please do not neglect those of us with on-prem deployments. ... View more

I think this is a must not only for Power BI designers (the online one and the desktop one), but also the Power View designers (both SharePoint and Excel). We need the ability to be able to align, resize and distribute components in a dashboard/sheet. I mean the controls we normally find with office tools such as: * Alignment: Align left, right, top, bottom, centre, middle. Distribute horizontally and vertically. Snap to grid, view gridlines, set gridlines, etc. * Positioning: Being able to see and specify x and y coordinates for objects. * Sizing: Specify height and width values. I feel these requirements are long overdue since the initial release of Power View years ago. ... View more
