Fabric Ideas

Currently the maximum size of an image that can be included in a matrix column is 512px x 512px. It would be great if this limit could be removed or changed - sometimes (especially when not using the default resolution) we need bigger images in a column and the 512px limit is very restricting.

As with custom visuals, it should be possible to control which template apps can be installed within an organization.

When a scheduled refresh is stopped, a user receives an email only once, but is concerned about missing it because they receive so many emails. It would be nice to have the ability to have daily email alerts when scheduled refreshes stop.

Please allow changing the connector type—not just the data source—in an already published report, such as from ODBC to the Snowflake connector.

It would be useful to be able to give users/groups access to view a workspace, but then remove their access to items inside the workspace. In a similar way as the power bi admin portal has "Disabled for a subset of users/groups"

I want a feature that enables all users to access password-protected Excel files seamlessly. This will allow uninterrupted file reading. Use Case: Users receive files from various sources/users, each protected with a standard password per user/location. After downloading, users need to create a Power BI dashboard. Challenge: Power BI cannot read password-protected files, requiring manual password removal from each file. This is one from the thousand issues due to this.

Fabric allows you to see a listing of artifacts in a workspace. But doesn't give the user critical information - specifically with Gen2 dataflows the user should be able to see - The last referesh date time - The status of the last refresh (Failed, Successful, In Progress) - The duraction of the refresh Don't hide this from the user and force them to click on the '...' and select "recent runs" - and then have to keep clicking on the 'refresh' button to see this critical information!!!!!!!!!

In the Power Query interface for Gen2 dataflows there is no way to easily spot errors in the data. If you've got lots of columns in a table you need to scroll through them and examine the contents to try to find the errors. Please provide a simple indicator in the UI to address this. Something like a warning message in the footer of the UI that says "Error in Column(s)". Then allow the user to hover over this to see a list of columns that have errors.

Each time an applied step is added or modified in a Gen2 dataflow the entire project logic is being refreshed. This absolutely kills productivity. For example, if I have 20 fields that I need to rename, my project forces me to wait between each rename step to refresh its data. If it takes a minute to refresh (which is not atypical), there goes 20 minutes of my day - for a step that should take me about a minute. Please provide some kind of control to allow the user to make this manual. This would be analogous to Excel's 'Calculation Options > Manual' feature Thanks

When building a data transformation with a Gen2 dataflow it's often helpful to add applied steps for testing and verification. I'll often apply filters on a field to ensure that related values are correct - or group data, etc. There isn't a way to highlight these applied steps - so the steps for testing can remain after I'm done with the testing (user error). It would be helpful to allow me as a user to highlight specific applied steps (using font color, boldface or something else). This will make it easier to identify the steps later for removal. Could also be used to highlight steps for other reasons of course (e.g. steps where I'm unsure of the M-code, or where additional information is required before completing the M-code).

Retain the same colors for line charts and pie charts in PBI I would like to find out if there is a way to retain the same colors for the different lines in Line charts and Pie Charts, when I change the dataset from one to another. I have changed to the colors which I need, and when I change the datasets, those original colors are gone, and I need to change back to those colors I need again, and it is very tedious when there are more than 10 colors to change.

We would like to request enhancements to the export functionality in Power BI, specifically when using a Live Connection. Currently, when users export visuals with the "Summarized data" option in Live Connection mode, the exported file includes column headers in the format TableName[ColumnName]. We understand that this is an expected behavior. This format is not user-friendly and makes it difficult for end users to interpret the data effectively. We kindly request the ability to export data using friendly column names as defined in the report visuals, even when using a Live Connection. If implementing friendly names is not feasible at this time, we would like to propose an increase in the row export limit. The current limit of 150,000 rows without a Live Connection is restrictive for our reporting needs. We suggest increasing this limit to at least 500,000 rows, which would significantly improve the usability and value of exported data for our users.

At times, when you already have many reports and work areas, when trying to publish it, it is difficult to determine in which work area you last published it; it would be a good feature to suggest it to you.

It would be awesome if visuals had properties like in PowerApps including actions for things like conditional visibility etc. I know some of this can be accomplished through bookmarks however I feel like it would be easier and more seamless to accomplish with PowerFX language within PowerBI

Any time a dialog box pops up in a PowerBI desktop file, it grabs focus for a second and shows as an selection on the task bar. When changing data connection under transform data, the "working on it" pop up will grab focus a couple of times, whenever it appears, even if you have switched to another file or application, making the user experience very jumpy. This behavior is different from other Microsoft applications. If you close an Excel file after changing it, the save dialog box does not appear on the task bar and does not grab focus when it pops up.

It would be great to enable a Power BI subscription for hidden pages in the report. Currently, if you set up a personal bookmark on a page that is hidden, you aren't able to set up a subscription that links to the page.

Currently the Legend is available as a seaprate bar in the Line chart section. I also have the data chart and would like the row headers to include the Legend colour (as is availble in powerpoint).

Issue: We are working with large datasets and also want to include some QA (Quality Assurance) functionality. This is easy for false positives, because you can look at the data that complies with the filter to find the rows that are coded wrong, and shouldn't be there - and in turn fix that data. But this is impossible for false negatives (in relation to the filter) because that data will not be a part of the data you have "available" for the report, since it is filtered out by the filter. Proposed solution: Make a page setting to ignore the "filters on all pages". This could be place anywhere, for example on the right clicking menu for the page.

I'm trying to use the 'new' button slicer for the extra styling option but it has loads of top and bottom padidng on the buttons that I can't seem to remove. It looks like it's been in preview for over 18 months, quite frustrating that it's another 'features' half launched and not followed up on.

When creating a line chart using a TOTALYTD measure—where the x-axis shows months and the legend shows years—it can sometimes result in the line for the most recent year rising until the last actual value, and then continuing flat for future dates. It would be great to have a feature that allows the future portion of the line to be shown as a dashed line. If there were a calendar table with a flag to distinguish current and future dates, it could be used to split the line visually. However, since those segments would be treated as separate series, the legend would show them as disconnected. One workaround might be to duplicate the data for the transition month so both flags have values and the lines connect. But that could introduce a many-to-many relationship, which is best avoided. So ideally, there would be a way to visually connect the current and future lines for the latest year, without creating a many-to-many relationship, and still allow solid lines for current dates and dashed lines for future dates.
