Users working with reports occasionally encounter the error “Query exceeded memory limit.” However, report creators have no way to determine which specific query caused the memory limit to be exceeded. It would be helpful to have a feature, such as in Fabric Capacity Metrics, to identify which queries caused the memory limit to be exceeded. ... View more

Power BI currently only supports daily or weekly refresh schedules, which is limiting for enterprise workflows. I need the ability to: Schedule refreshes on specific dates (e.g., 5th of each month). Trigger refreshes based on when source tables finish loading (e.g., SQL tables or flat files). Or at the very least assign a custom refresh date to each specific table. Tableau supports this natively, and it's critical for aligning reporting with ETL processes. Please consider adding these options directly into the semantic model settings or dataset configuration UI—without requiring Power Automate or external tools. ... View more

With Power BI at an enterprise scale, our governance of the platform takes top priority.  Today, there is no setting to limit or restrict the creation of folders within workspaces, other than the restriction for viewer users.  This would create a chaotic situation with hundreds of contributors and members on the platform.   It would be best if we can have a fabric tenant setting which would provide us the ability to toggle between enabling/disabiling the creation of folders, along with who (user group) can create folders when enabled. ...

Currently, the Power BI Service does not include the prophet package in its supported Python environment. This limitation prevents users from running advanced time-series forecasting workflows in published reports using Python visuals. Adding prophet and its required dependencies would enable seamless forecasting directly in the Power BI Service, ensuring consistency between Desktop and Service and reducing reliance on external workarounds. ...

Hi this is just a simple request. I work at a fortune 25 company and my team is looking to automate our monthly results deck using Power BI. Our company is strict on formatting and suggests we use Source Sans Pro consistently throughout every deck. Since that is not an option in PowerBI for titles, we have to make manual adjustments once the deck is exported to PowerPoint. If Source Sans Pro could be added to options for title font, that would be amazing! Thanks ... View more

As the name suggests, in Warehouse & Lakehouse, we have the option to create and save queries.   It would be great if one could create a sub-folder under My Queries to better organise the scripts saved.        Thank You ... View more

The amount of compute which is charged for writebacks via Power Apps / UDF is not equal to the amount seen in the performance summary of the Fabric database and in general way to high. It becomes hard to understand what is causing CU spikes. We were told that because of the serverless architecture initial writes / reads take a couple of seconds (apx. 30s) to turn on the backend. After 15 min without interaction it scales down again. There is no way to see nor configure the compute usage of this. We would like to have more control in the process so simple write backs do not consume a ton of compute just for spinning up the server every time. Another big downside is that the end user need to wait a significant amount of time. Every UDF also needs to spin up if it was not used for 15 min.  We have an F4 Fabric Capacity in which we have created SQL DB workload. We also have a Power BI report in which a Power App is embedded. Power App reads data from SQL DB.   Every time end user interacts with the Power App, we see a spike in Capacity Metrics App.     It consumes almost half of the F4 capacity when Power App starts to read data from SQL DB.   This number is not aligning with the performance summary of the Fabric database. The memory tab only shows mb not compute usage.  ... View more

Currently, OneLake Security Roles must be configured individually within each Lakehouse. For organizations managing multiple Lakehouses based on data domains, this results in significant manual effort and duplication. Additionally, maintaining both Active Directory (AD) groups and separate OneLake Security Roles adds complexity and increases the risk of misalignment. ... View more

We are aware that the Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics app is currently available only in English.

Ensure that for each source table and target schema (preferably per database), there is at most one Lakehouse shortcut. This prevents duplication of shortcuts pointing to the same source, simplifies data governance, and reduces confusion in downstream processes. Problem Statement: Currently, multiple shortcuts can be created for the same source table within the same schema, leading to redundancy and potential inconsistencies in data access and lineage tracking.   Proposed Solution: Implement a validation mechanism or enforcement rule that checks for existing shortcuts before creating a new one. If a shortcut already exists for the given source table and target schema (or database), the system should either: Block the creation of a duplicate shortcut, or Prompt the user to reuse the existing shortcut. Benefits: Improves data consistency and governance. Reduces storage and maintenance overhead. Enhances clarity for developers and analysts working with Lakehouse shortcuts. ... View more

When we publish a Schemantic Model from our local to service, it just says Publishing that file and we have to keep an eye on if that is getting published or not.   Instead, if we can keep a loading bar as how far it has published based on the size of the file or total MB's uploaded out of total MB's of that Schemantic model could help users to understand how much time it is taking to upload the file to server.   Thanks. ...

This is driving me absolutely crazy and should be the simplest fix, surely!   I'm replicating a lot of what used to be very manual PowerPoint slides into a Power BI format, and the last piece of the puzzle that I need for this to be totally seamless for the rest of my team is simply just for the text boxes to function like you would expect a Microsoft text box to function in 2025 so they can write commentary as needed.   It doesn't matter if I write the text first and then change the size, or change the size first, or start with bullet points selected or change to bullets after, no matter what I do, the bullet points remain a size 10. Same with numbers. How on earth was this shipped as a functional text box if it can't do the most basic thing that I'm pretty sure has been standard in Microsoft programs for like 30 years at this point?   And please don't come at me for Power BI's function not needing to focus on text boxes because "the data should speak for itself" (as I've seen in other threads that have brought this up in the past) - I don't disagree, but I also don't think it's out of line to expect that if a text box is given as an option, it should work as intended. ...

It would be great if Power BI could automatically generate a color theme for reports based on an uploaded image, website URL, or logo. For example: Upload a company logo → Power BI generates a matching palette for all visuals Input a website URL → Extracts main colors and applies a cohesive theme Benefits: -Saves time manually choosing colors -Ensures brand consistency in reports -Helps users create visually appealing reports effortlessly This feature could be combined with existing themes and allow minor adjustments for personalization.   ...

One of my clients is using Key Vault to retrieve secrets, which is a good thing.   They also want to move to the integrated options, removing the need for them to use a private link that takes time to become available and slows down development and data processing. The main reason they can't do this is because Key Vault doesn't support RBAC yet, it's only ACL authentication. ACL is something the good people of Azure are advising against.    Please enable RBAC support for this feature, using the Fabric workspace identity 🙂 ... View more

Hi Team, Currently, Power BI allows assigning a single bookmark to a button, but there is no option to link a button directly to an entire bookmark group. I have created multiple bookmark groups, each containing several related bookmarks. It would be extremely helpful if a single button could trigger all bookmarks within a group — either by cycling through them or by executing the entire group sequence automatically. Why This Feature Is Needed Reduces the need to create multiple buttons for related views Makes report navigation smoother and more user-friendly Simplifies UX when handling complex bookmark-driven interactions Helps developers maintain cleaner and more manageable report layouts Suggested Feature Enhancement Please consider adding: a. “Assign Bookmark Group” — An option to choose a bookmark group instead of a single bookmark b. “Trigger Mode” — Ability to run all bookmarks sequentially or cycle through them This enhancement would be highly valuable for Power BI developers who rely on bookmarks for storytelling, navigation, and advanced UI customization.
