We created an Excel file connected to Salesforce using Power Query and stored it in SharePoint Online. Our intention was to refresh the Excel data connections using an Office Script + Power Automate flow. Issue: Due to limitations in Excel Online, Office Scripts cannot refresh Power Query connections, which prevents us from auto-refreshing Salesforce data inside SharePoint Excel. This is a confirmed Microsoft limitation. Suggestion: Build a feature enabling Power Query refresh in Excel Online using Automation. ... View more

Currently ms fabric tries to create warehouses and lakehouses with validation on views.  In most cases if view reference items that not exist yet ( example openrowset to files that not yet exist , view ref between 2 warehouses , ... )  Then the whole sync fails. Leaving you in the mid of a sync with no option to at least have infrastructure and all other artificacts available and synced in the workspace.    Some messy intervention is needed to reconstruct.  This makes option as 'checkout to workspace' in many cases impossible.    I believe if auto validation would not be done. Running the pipelines after sync would solve the disconnect And make it possible to solve most of the disconnect in the workspace manually. Making it workable   It would also make azure devops pipelines for automation much easier  ... View more

Allow us to create our own key:value tags for workspaces.   Additionally, support two independent tagging systems: Organization-level tags (admin-governed) Personal tags (user-defined, private) This would enable powerful filtering and significantly improve workspace navigation for users with many projects and deployment stages.   This would enable us to do things like:   Show only feature workspaces Show only workspaces in project_b Show only test workspaces for project_c Combine filters like environment = feature AND project = project_b   ...

Power BI Apps currently expose the Embed option only for reports, while dashboards included in the same app do not show any embed option in the Power BI Service UI. This inconsistency causes confusion for users, as reports and dashboards are commonly delivered together within a single app experience. We request native support to generate Embed URL / Embed configuration for dashboards directly from Power BI Apps, similar to reports, to ensure consistency and simplify embedding scenarios. ...

When writing a bulleted list in a text box in Power BI, if the font size is set to 12, the text in the list shows at the equivalent of font size 9. All other font sizes show as expected, size 12 is the only size that shrinks. My current workaround is to make all bulleted lists size 11, but it is against my organisation's accessibility guidelines to have any text smaller than size 12 on a webpage. ... View more

I have access to a file within SharePoint and would like to create a shortcut to its parent folder in the lakehouse so I can use it in notebooks, however, because I don't have access to all of the folders above it, it claims that the location doesn't exist even though it does. For example, if the SharePoint path is https://mycloud.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Shared Documents/SubFolder1/SubFolder2/SubFolder3 and I only have access to the contents within SubFolder3, I'm unable to create a shortcut directly to that folder. The only way it will let me create a shortcut is if I have access to SubFolder1 and SubFolder2 as well, but in most situations, that's not possible. It would be nice if I could created a shortcut for SubFolder3 without the need for access to the higher folders. ... View more

The Problem: Currently, there is no centralized way for a Fabric or Power BI Administrator to extract the offline (compressed disk) size of all semantic models across a tenant. While individual sizes can sometimes be found via the XMLA endpoint or by manually checking the Capacity Metrics App, there is no REST API or Scanner API attribute that exposes this data at scale. Microsoft has previously noted that this information is not currently exposed in any API. This creates a significant blind spot for administrators who need to: Manage Capacity Growth: Identify which models are approaching the "Max Offline Dataset Size" limits set in the Admin Portal. Optimize Costs: Pinpoint bloated models that are consuming excessive storage or will require large memory footprints upon loading. Proactive Governance: Automate reporting on tenant-wide storage trends to prevent capacity exhaustion before it happens. The Proposed Solution: Update the Power BI/Fabric Admin REST APIs (specifically the Scanner API or Get Datasets In Group) to include a metadata field for offlineSizeInBytes. Ideally, this should provide: The compressed size on disk (Offline Size). Integration with the Fabric Capacity Metrics App: A dedicated, exportable table showing the size of all items, not just those recently active. Historical Snapshotting: The ability to see how a model's offline size has grown over time via standard admin logs. Why this is important for Fabric: As we move toward a more unified Fabric experience, storage and compute are billed and managed more strictly. Knowing the "weight" of a semantic model before it is loaded into memory is a fundamental requirement for any enterprise-grade "Flight Dashboard." We cannot manage what we cannot measure at scale. ... View more

The Problem: Currently, the Fabric Ideas portal contains thousands of entries. Users often find it difficult to search through existing ideas before posting. This leads to: Fragmented Voting: 500 votes for a feature might be spread across 10 different similar posts, making the feature look less popular than it actually is. Increased Moderation Overhead: Microsoft team members must spend manual hours merging ideas or closing duplicates. Search Fatigue: Users often give up searching and just post a new idea, further cluttering the database. The Proposed Solution: Integrate an Azure OpenAI-backed Chat Assistant directly into the "Submit a New Idea" workflow. How it would work: Real-time Analysis: As a user types their "Idea Title" and "Description," the AI analyzes the intent of the request in the background. Intervention & Suggestion: Before the user hits "Submit," a side panel or pop-up appears saying: "It looks like you want to improve [X]. Here are 3 existing ideas that match your request. Would you like to vote for these instead?" Semantic Search: Unlike a basic keyword search, the bot would use semantic embedding to understand that "Allowing Python in Data Factory" and "Support for .py scripts in ADF" are the same request. Draft Refinement: If the idea is truly unique, the bot could suggest ways to improve the description (e.g., "Would you like to add a use case to make this idea clearer for the product team?") to ensure high-quality submissions. Benefits to Microsoft: Cleaner Data: A significantly lower volume of duplicate entries. Accurate Signal: Consolidated voting gives the product team a much clearer picture of what the community actually wants. Cost Efficiency: Reduces the manual labor required by community managers to prune and organize the portal. Benefits to the Community: Instant Gratification: Instead of waiting for a new post to be approved/noticed, the user can immediately put their weight behind a post that already has 200 votes, bringing it closer to the "Planned" status. Better Quality: Higher quality, well-explained ideas are more likely to be implemented. @Miguel_Myers @rui_romano  ... View more

As per the Microsoft Learn documentation “Troubleshooting dataflow issues – connection to the data source”, dataflow connections are not automatically removed when they are no longer used by a dataflow. Instead, they must be manually deleted or trimmed, otherwise they continue to appear under Dataflow connections. Troubleshooting dataflow issues - connection to the data source - Power Query | Microsoft Learn Observed Behavior When a connection is removed/unlinked from a specific dataflow, it still appears in the dataflow connections list. This behavior is expected according to the documentation, as dataflows maintain associations with previously created data source connections unless a manual trim is performed. The issue becomes more noticeable when: The same connection is reused across multiple dataflows The connection is no longer required for the current dataflow, but is still needed elsewhere [Troublesho...soft Learn | Learn.Microsoft.com] Challenges / Impact There is no direct way to remove or hide unused connections only for a specific dataflow. Manual cleanup (gateway switching / connection trimming) must be performed per dataflow. In environments with hundreds of dataflows, this process becomes: Time‑consuming Operationally expensive Difficult to manage at scale This increases the risk of: Confusion around which connections are actively used Accidental deletion of shared connections used by other dataflows Reference Microsoft Learn documentation confirms that: Old or deleted data source connections can continue to appear Cleanup requires a manual user‑initiated trim process There is currently no automated or bulk cleanup option [Troublesho...soft Learn | Learn.Microsoft.com] Ask / Feedback for Fabric Team The dataflow connections should be updated automatically when they are unlinked or removed from the dataflow, as it is inconvenient to manually remove the connections from Manage Connections and then click Save and Close in the dataflow.

Problem Renaming a Library Variable in Microsoft Fabric does not update pipelines that reference it. The pipeline continues to contain the old expression name and only fails at runtime. There is also no warning during publish or validation. In real projects this creates silent breaking changes. A simple refactor can cause multiple pipelines to fail in production without any design time indication.   Why this matters This affects maintainability and safe refactoring. Large Fabric workspaces often contain many pipelines and variables. Currently teams must manually search every pipeline JSON to avoid outages.   Typical scenarios impacted: • Renaming variables to follow naming standards • Environment standardization • CI/CD promotion between environments • Shared library cleanup   Suggested solution Fabric should track Library Variable usage as a dependency rather than plain text and support safe rename operations. Possible implementations: Option A When renaming a Library Variable, automatically update all pipeline expressions referencing it. Option B Show a dependency impact list before rename and allow refactor confirmation. Option C At minimum, show validation warnings for broken references during publish.   Expected benefit This would significantly reduce production failures caused by refactoring and align Fabric behavior with modern IDE refactor capabilities. Current behavior makes variable rename a breaking change, which discourages proper governance and cleanup of shared libraries. ... View more
