Summary Microsoft Fabric currently alerts administrators only when overall capacity hits 100 percent. However, this alert is typically triggered by short-lived interactive operation spikes, which resolve quickly and rarely pose long-term risk. The real operational threat comes from high background operations utilization, which runs continuously and can quietly consume capacity over a 24-hour rolling window. Fabric should introduce a separate, configurable alert for background operations thresholds to support proactive capacity management. Problem Interactive workload spikes—such as report queries or user-driven actions—may momentarily push capacity to 100 percent, but they are brief and predictable. Capacity typically stabilizes once user activity subsides. Background operations behave differently: They run on a continuous 24-hour rolling cycle They accumulate load instead of dropping off quickly They can slowly consume large portions of available capacity They can create sustained, system-wide throttling long before admins realize there is a problem By the time the current 100 percent alert fires, background utilization has often been building for hours, and remediation options are limited. Proposed Solution Introduce a dedicated admin alert that triggers when background operations utilization exceeds a configurable percentage threshold (e.g., 40%, 60%, 80%). Key characteristics: Separates background consumption from interactive spikes Provides early warning before a choke point occurs Supports proactive workload scheduling and capacity planning Reduces the likelihood of long-lasting throttling scenarios Why This Matters High background utilization is a slow-burn risk that impacts the environment across the entire day. Without visibility into rising background load, admins cannot intervene early enough to prevent throttling or degraded user experience. In short: Interactive spikes = noise Background operations = signal Fabric’s alerting model should reflect this difference to ensure stable and predictable capacity performance. Requested Outcome Add a configurable background operations utilization alert to Microsoft Fabric Capacity to enable proactive governance and avoid sustained system throttling. ... View more

Problem: Currently, downstream consumers who need to query Eventhouse data via Lakehouse shortcuts must have read access to the primary Eventhouse tables. This creates two main challenges: Security / Governance: Users can access the primary Eventhouse, which may not be desirable. Operational Overhead: Teams must schedule incremental .export commands for each table to provide Lakehouse access, which is cumbersome and difficult to manage at scale.   Proposed Solution: Introduce a feature that allows Eventhouse to automatically export data to Lakehouse shortcuts without requiring users to have read access to the primary tables. Benefits: Downstream consumers can query Lakehouse shortcuts without impacting Eventhouse compute or hitting query limits. Eliminates the need to schedule per-table exports manually. Maintains strict security and governance by preventing direct access to the primary Eventhouse tables. Supports both full and incremental exports, keeping Lakehouse data fresh and up-to-date. ...

Hello Team, We have noticed that in our Power BI Service, the Viewer role on a workspace no longer provides Build permissions for datasets as it did previously. Even when Build permissions are manually granted, users with Viewer access still cannot see the datasets in the workspace—they can only view reports. We would like viewers to have the same access as before, so they can see and connect to datasets in workspaces where they have Viewer access. Please look into this issue so that viewers can rebuild reports as needed, which helps keep production environments secure without requiring everyone to have Contributor roles. ... View more

Restricting Fabric Mirror Databases to read-only is a huge limitation that limits users abilities to manage the database in certain ETL operations to it.  Stored Procedures are very limited if you can't write to the database.  Allowing write operations would expand the use cases for a Mirrored Database immensely. ...

Customizable input/checkbox fields in Power BI that support lightweight write-back to the semantic model would allow users to mark records (for example, “Reviewed,” “Needs Follow-Up,” or “Exclude”) directly in table and matrix visuals. The checked state would be stored as a field in the model and could then be used like any other column for filtering, grouping, or driving measures across pages and sessions. This would provide an intuitive, low-overhead way for business users to track record status and create ad-hoc subsets of data, without needing complex bookmarks, personal filters, or external write-back solutions. ...

Hi Team   Vibe coding is a thing and it's changing how business users are working. We need agentic code generating copilots in the Notebook experience. I've made this custom workload, heavily inspired by the GitHub Copilot experience as this increases the code quality and reliability and potentially enables business users to get the analysis they want without being an expert in either coding and analytics   watch demo here: https://youtu.be/8EN8-haf-UM     ...

It would be great if when a visual is copied, the subtitle is included. The hover says 'copy image with caption', so this may be by design, however users would expect a visuals subtitle to be included when copied.

Hi,   I don't know if it is just me, but I really don't like the "feature" Auto-size width and the new Grow to fit as default.   It is terrible!   We create a table, add a single column, and it is expanded automatically. All the time, I need to go to Format your visual > Visual > Column headers > Options (a llllooonnnggg and hidden way) to change this.   Sometimes the table cuts the value of the column on the right side.   I really didn't understand what the idea here is.   Does someone agree with me? Do you like the "feature"? Is it possible to change this default behavior?     Regards,   Emanuel Tavares   ... View more

  Power BI currently does not support true conditional visual rendering—the ability to show or hide a visual based on a DAX-measured condition. I attempted to hide a Card visual when a specific business condition was not met, and display it only when the condition was true. However: There is no direct “Visible = TRUE/FALSE” property for visuals. Bookmarks cannot achieve this, because they require manual selection of which visuals appear in a bookmark, and they cannot dynamically respond to changing filter or DAX conditions. Workarounds such as using transparency, layering shapes, or changing text color do not solve the problem, especially for accessibility and report cleanliness. Proposed Feature Add a Conditional Visual Rendering option for visuals where users can define a DAX-based rule such as:     IF([MyCondition] = TRUE(), SHOW(), HIDE()) Or in the formatting pane: Visibility → Conditional formatting → Based on field This would allow Power BI to dynamically show or hide visuals—including Cards, Tables, Charts, Buttons—based on real-time data conditions. Impact / Benefits Cleaner user experience (hide irrelevant information) Eliminates UI clutter when conditions are not met Supports advanced guided-analytics scenarios Enables more flexible dynamic reporting without needing bookmarks or overly complex workarounds ...

Hi Developing team, In Power BI, premium capacity, we as admins hardly can control the capacity. this is different from setting up the parameters in capacity admin page. 1) Suppose, I want to use 60% of the capacity for background and rest for interactive jobs. 2) No option to setup a Freezing zone (example peak business hours) where no background refresh is allowed, so that interactive reports dont suffer. 3) No option to kill all the backround process immediately, if the capacity is throttled. 4) No option to setup the data size, capacity % usage on workspace level. In other dashboarding tools, such as SAP Analytics cloud its possible.   ... View more

Reordering queries and query groups in Power Query (Power BI Desktop) is unreliable and can cause UI lags, hangs, and occasional application crashes. This becomes a serious productivity issue in large semantic models where organizing queries is essential. Steps to Reproduce (typical cases) Open a large Power Query project (100+ queries with multiple groups). Try dragging a query from one group to another (especially across long lists). Observe the UI lag/freeze during the drag; sometimes the drop target doesn’t register. Repeat several reorders; in some cases, Power BI Desktop hangs or crashes. Expected Behavior Smooth, immediate drag-and-drop reordering for queries and groups. Deterministic placement (no misdrops). Zero crash risk from reordering actions. Reordering is fully undoable/redoable without performance degradation. ... View more

Issue: When connected live to a Power BI semantic model, the banner displays information in a human-readable sentence format, e.g.: “Connected live to the Power BI semantic model: DEV_Digital Dashboard Semantic Model in DD TEST Workspace.” This format makes it harder to quickly identify key details such as the model name and workspace, especially in environments with multiple models or workspaces. Users often need to confirm these details at a glance for troubleshooting or validation. Proposal / request: Display the connection details as structured name:value pairs, similar to how SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) shows connection properties. For example: Connection Type: Live Semantic Model: MyDashboard Semantic Model Workspace: MyWorkspace ... View more

In the Power Query Editor, the table view currently wraps text within cells when the content exceeds the column width. While this is helpful in some cases, it can make the interface harder to scan and work with, especially when dealing with long strings or large datasets. Please add an option to disable text wrapping in the Power Query table view. Ideally, this could be a toggle in the UI. When disabled, text would be truncated visually (with ellipsis or overflow) but still fully accessible via the formula bar or on hover. ... View more
