When deploying from one stage to another in Deployment Pipeline, it would be great if we could use a Service Principal connection (or Workspace Identity, Managed Identity) to do that.   Meaning, I could interactively - in the user interface - pick a Service Principal deployment pipeline connection* that I have User right on, and use this Service Principal connection to make deployments.   The Service Principal would need to be at least Contributor in the target (destination) workspace.   I would like to be able to choose another identity (connection) for the source workspace. So, I could use separate identities for the source workspace and prod workspace.   This way, we could have isolated identities in dev/test/prod, so we have water tight compartments between environments.   My own user doesn't need to have write access in test and prod - I just need to be a User of the service principal connections which are allowed to deploy to test and prod, respectively.   The benefit of having isolates identities in dev/test/prod is that we avoid the risk of accidentally writing dev data to prod and vice versa.   Today, a user needs to be Contributor in all workspaces (Dev, Test and Prod) in order to make deployments. Because the same identity (the same user) has Contributor permission in all workspaces today, it means there is a risk that this identity reads data from Dev and writes it to Prod, or vice versa. To avoid this risk, it would be great if we could use separate identities (service principals, managed identities) in dev/test/prod and just use our user account to trigger the deployments.   In practice, it is likely that my user would still have Contributor permission in Dev, in order to do development, but my user should not have Contributor permission in Test and Prod - it should only have User permission on the Service Principal connections so that I am able to to deployments to Test and Prod, without having write permission (contributor) in Test and Prod workspaces myself.   * Deployment pipeline connections would be a new feature. ...

The Matrix Visual is great for displaying data that needs to be aggregated. But sometimes you just want to show data in a hirearcical manner without aggregation.  But the Matrix doesn't provide the Do not Summarize option with numbers.   So instead of    RowValue |  Value 1  value 2   value 3   Subvalue| Value 1   value 2   value 3   It would just be:   RowValue |     Subvalue| Value 1   value 2   value 3   Yes, I could replace the values with measures.

Users should have the ability to create subscriptions for apps, just like we can for reports within Power BI service.    I don't want all the recipients of a subscription to have access to the workspace, but would like them to receive automated updates via an email subscription. They shouldn't have access to all of the data on the report and that is why they are given certain access permissions within an app. A subscription to the app would allow us to send the automated email with a link to "open report in app" or something of that nature, so they can interact with any visuals as necessary within a protected environment. ...

Paginated report creator has just gone into GA on the Cloud (Fabric service). I can create a paginated report off my semantic model in my workspace.    However, this capability is not available in the embedded experience when using the Embed for your Customers model.  You can create a Power BI report via PaaS embed so seems strange we can't do that for Paginated Report.     We need this capability available to support the embedded model. ...

Sometimes I use slicers to filter my reports and create my own filter area. However using the Power BI filters pane is more efficient when it comes to space for my visuals. Also there are other advantages with PBI filters pane, e.g. to use "clear all filters" option as botton action. There is one disadvantage with the filters pane. That is to organize my filter neatly. Especially for less advanced users, it should be more useful. Some made up examples below, but of course you should be able to remove and change or remove the visable frame of the table. So visually, the possibility to make it look like lining up your own slicers. Most important though is to be able to use sections like in a table and maybe create extra space so that you canidentify e.g. different sections. Not nexessary that the filters look like slicers. - Use a little more space (veritcally, for e.g date hiearchy Created Date: year                year- month                                           date Health condition: maybe is important so you want to use more space Adminstrative visits:        YES        NO large buttons for attention! -Maybe you have small filters like yes and no or dropdown that use little space. Created:  YES      NO Select Prio: a dropdown box for prio (one number option) etc...   ... View more

While Copilot has a lot of potential, developers recognize that there is a significant amount of work that needs to be done to make a report "Copilot friendly".  In organizations with a large Power BI footprint with hundreds or thousands of reports and models, this could result in significant work.  If this work is not done and Copilot is turned on, results that appear accurate are not and could lead to wrong decisions being made.  This leads to a lack of trust in the feature and worse, lack of trust in the report developers.     By allowing for more granular control of where Copilot is deployed, developers can choose what reports are Copilot ready and do the work (model optimization, prompt engineering) to ensure high quality responses.  ...

I have previously worked in SAS Analytics. I used containers for my visuals. In Power BI I had to create individual visuals, use hide and show visuals and create buttons. For each view I had to create a new bookmark. My resport is quite small so it works ok. It is still a pain to make sure I update each bookmark correctly every time I want to change the report. It is therefore difficult to maintain. So I have attached a link to video. 7 minutes after start, they show "TYPES OF CONATINER". The one I would like to have is the stacking container (with tabs) with several visual options. Several visual options in the sam report is useful if users are beginners and prefer more static views than filtering data. Although I think it would be preciated also by more advanced users. ...

I’m building a logic in my application that depends on the size of my Power BI or Fabric datasets. Currently, there’s no available API or endpoint to get this information. It would be really helpful if Microsoft provided a way (through the Power BI REST API or Fabric API) to retrieve the dataset size — similar to what is shown in Workspace Settings → System Storage (API) inside the Power BI service.   Having access to this value programmatically would help developers: Monitor dataset growth automatically Implement custom alerts and optimizations Manage workspace storage usage efficiently ...

Currently, Copilot for Power BI limits prompts to 500 characters, which restricts the ability to provide detailed instructions for complex reports or data analysis. Increasing this limit (e.g., to 1,000 or more characters) would enable users to: Provide richer context for report generation Reduce the need for multiple iterative prompts Improve accuracy and efficiency of Copilot responses This enhancement would significantly improve usability for advanced scenarios and align with user expectations for natural language interaction. Better experience for enterprise users More precise outputs from Copilot Reduced time spent refining prompts Please consider prioritizing this feature in upcoming releases. ... View more

We would like to implement a dedicated Fabric Copilot Capacity. But encountered an issue because the capacity (South Central) that we are using is in a different home region (West US). Fabric Copilot Capacity not available if capacity is on a different home region.   We had an issue (ticket number 2510170040000740) wherein the user used up all the capacity and it took 2 days for smoothing to happen. The capacity is not usable for 2 days and we have to move workspaces to a different capacity. This is the reason why we want to implement FCC.   It would be great if Fabric Copilot Capacity can be configured even if the home region is different from the capacity region.   ... View more

It would be extremely helpful if Power BI supported a native connector for Pipedrive, one of the most widely used CRM platforms among small and medium-sized businesses.Currently, users must rely on complex custom API scripts, third-party services, or costly middleware just to pull basic CRM data into Power BI. This creates unnecessary friction for users who want to build dashboards and monitor their sales pipeline in real-time — something that’s critical for modern sales teams.Given Power BI’s integration with other CRMs like Salesforce and Dynamics 365, it’s surprising this is not yet supported. Please consider building a direct connector that enables secure, token-based access to Pipedrive data (deals, activities, organizations, contacts, custom fields, etc.).This would save hundreds of hours for individual users and teams, and significantly increase adoption of Power BI as a reporting solution among Pipedrive users.Thank you! ...

Situation :  Currently, Power BI (/Microsoft Fabric) do not provide a native way to automatically configure credentials for Synapse Serverless connections, especially in scenarios where automated deployments or service principals are used. This limitation makes it difficult to implement fully automated solutions for data access and refresh without manual intervention.   Requested Feature: Introduce native support for automated credential configuration for Synapse Serverless connections in Power BI and Fabric. Specifically, it should: Allow service principals and managed identities to authenticate without manual setup Support secure, scalable automation across enterprise environments Integrate with deployment pipelines and governance models Optionally integrate with Azure Key Vault for secure credential storage Why this matters: This feature would enable organizations to build robust, secure, and automated BI solutions while eliminating manual, error-prone steps. It is critical for: Large-scale deployments and CI/CD automation Enterprise compliance (MFA, ISO, SOC, GDPR) Reducing credential leakage risks from insecure workarounds Additional Technical context (use case): Current workaround using ROPC (Resource Owner Password Credentials) fails when MFA is enforced, which is common in enterprise environments. Service accounts with MFA cannot be used for automated refresh, creating a gap for organizations that follow strict security policies. A native solution should support Azure AD authentication via service principals or managed identities, similar to other Fabric connectors. This would align with modern security practices and eliminate the need for insecure credential storage or manual intervention. Technical Context (Use Case) The current ROPC (Resource Owner Password Credentials) workaround fails under MFA — now mandatory in most enterprises. Service accounts with enforced MFA cannot be used for automated refresh, leaving a gap for secure automation. A native solution should support Azure AD-based authentication via service principals or managed identities, similar to Azure Data Factory and Synapse Pipelines.
