Fabric Ideas

Introduce shared / reusable schedule objects that can be referenced by multiple Fabric artifacts (multiple pipelines, notebooks, and other artifacts), similar to SQL Server Agent job schedules. This would allow teams to define execution timing once (for example, a nightly or hourly schedule) and apply it consistently across many workloads, rather than duplicating identical schedules per artifact. Shared schedules would reduce configuration drift, simplify maintenance, and make schedule changes safer and faster by allowing updates in one place. This capability would significantly improve enterprise operations, governance, and migration scenarios for organizations moving from SQL Server Agent–based architectures to Fabric, where coordinated execution timing across many processes is a common requirement.

The ability to reorder the left hand objects here (see pic) for example, i want to open a notebook monitorting object and i want it to be right next to the actual notebook object for quick transfer.

when navigating workspaces, each workspace has icons next to it. the diamond icon that symbolizes a fabric or premium capacity simply shows "Fabric contenct" which is not very usuful. it would be great if on hover you get back the capacity name.

The title says it all. Due to the lack of a proper variables library implementation for connections and warehouses, our current development workflow includes switching connections/warehouses from one workspace to another one. Whenever we just switch connections/warehouses the hard coded schema and table names in activities, that can reference warehouses, will be cleared which is a huge paint point which loses us time over and over. We suggest to stop clearing those input fields whenever a connection or warehouse is changed in those activities.

Would be very helpful to have the drag and drop feature enabled in the Fabric workspaces UI.

Due to a common pattern in GCP in which customers use one project for billing and other projects for data, the Fabric Factory Copy Activity Destination tab does not expose enough properties to permit successful writes. The UI currently only exposes dataset-id and table name entered manually. For proper billing, the Fabric Connection is setup to use the GCP billing project. Due to the fact that the UI does not permit setting of the data project to define the fully-qualified name of the target write table, at runtime, the target write table becomes {billing project}.{dataset}.{table}. The billing project intentionally contains no tables at all and is strictly for purposes of allocating egress costs correctly. Extending the Fabric Factory Copy Activity Destination tab by adding the project context for the write would allow Fabric Copy Activity to align with the common pattern of usage in GCP. An alternative that might be considered would be to make the Billing Project Id, and Project Id in the Fabric Connector for BigQuery actually permit runtime override of the project default. Were this change made then the Copy Activity UI change would be unnecessary.

I'm looking for a way to increase the width and size of the visualization's scroball. Please consider and provide this feature.

Currently, there is a significant productivity gap in Power BI Desktop's Table View. Unlike Excel, which allows users to instantly access column filters using Alt + Down Arrow, Power BI requires a mouse click to open the filter/search dropdown on a column header. While Shift + F10 opens a context menu, it only provides sorting and copying options,it does not allow the user to access the filter checkboxes or the search bar within the column.

Please update the CICD interface where you can add objects to a 'cart' in order to deploy. So as you scroll through the list of objects you can click and them them to your deployment cart. The reason for this request is because if you have many objects and want to search and add them, everytime you search you lose whatever was previously added.

The ability to disable visual-level filters ('Filters on this visual) on the report level. To avoid confusion in reports, I hide all visual-level filters so that filters can be applied consistently to the whole report or page rather than individual visuals. This is time-consuming having to 'hide' every visual-level filter on every visual. A toggle in the report settings to disable (or hide) visual-level filters for the whole report would be very helpful.

When we have 100 plus measure in a model organised in folders hierarchy, it tough to expand every folder and see if measure failed after every new publish. Provide a button or some form of filter that expands all the folder containing failed measures. Or just expand all the folders at once.

Allow external (B2B/guest) users with Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) licences to create and receive email subscriptions for shared reports. This will improve collaboration, automate report delivery, and enhance usability for cross-organisation scenarios.

We are looking for a way to have the main reports published to all required individuals but to have only the first page of the report visible to the rest of the organization through the app. Hence we need page level hiding as well in this section. Hope this can be added as a feature in the app as well.

Managing multiple roles and members for multiple models is a tedious task. It would be more helpful if we had a relevant REST API.

It would be extremely valuable if Microsoft Fabric allowed developers to invoke Fabric Data Agents directly from Fabric Notebooks (PySpark/Python) through an official API or SDK. Current limitation: Data Agents are primarily accessible through the Fabric UI/Copilot experience, but there is no clear notebook-native integration for programmatic usage. Suggested capability: Allow notebooks to: - Send prompts or questions to a Data Agent - Receive grounded responses programmatically - Maintain conversational context/session state - Integrate agent workflows into data engineering and AI pipelines Example use cases: - Automated business insight generation - AI-driven anomaly detection workflows - Agentic analytics pipelines - Intelligent report generation - Integration with Spark/PySpark transformations - Enterprise AI orchestration inside Fabric Example ideal workflow: response = fabric_data_agent.ask( agent="RetailInsightsAgent", prompt="Summarize customer churn trends for Q4" ) Why this matters: Currently, many teams must rebuild semantic grounding, orchestration, and retrieval pipelines manually inside notebooks using external LLM frameworks. Native notebook integration would significantly accelerate enterprise AI adoption within Microsoft Fabric. This feature would make Fabric Data Agents much more production-ready for advanced AI engineering and analytics workflows.

Please add workspace settings >> Data Warehouse >> Collations to the Fabric rest API config. This is the only way make Lakehouse SQL Endpoint Case insensitive, it is a must for customers coming from a SQL background. Currently I deploy workspaces by automation, then manually change the collation then deploy Lakehouses & Warehouses which is time consuming and annoying.... This is pre-req before the terraform provider could also be updated to set. Thanks, Darren

I am working on a Workspace that is Power BI PRO. The client is NOT going with Fabric. I am building a Semantic Model in the workspace. I see under the Refresh drop-down, an option for "Create advanced refresh (preview)" and figured I would give it a shot. What happened when I selected that option was that it IMMEDIATELY signed me up for a Fabric Free Trial and moved my workspace over. (Plus it hosed the in-proecess refresh of my semantic model). There was no option to CONFIRM OR DENY the upgrade to Fabric Free Trial. Please put in some type of confirmation so the user must ACCEPT that A) They will be signed up for a Fabric Free Trial and B) Their workspace will be move over to that trial. Horribly experience!

I would suggest to introduce "folders" to have new connections organized in a easier and segregated way. In a Enterprise environment, wheer all teh connecitons to resources are managed ina centralized way, having the possibility of creating folders, as in the Workspaces, would allow better organized resources (e.g. Like in the Deployment pipelines). Thank you for the opportunity, Alfredo Lourido Santos

Current behavior: The Ribbon Chart visual has two distinct hover zones: the column/bar segments and the ribbon transitions (the lighter connective areas between time periods). Custom report page tooltips only apply to the column/bar segments. The ribbon transition areas always display the built-in default tooltip showing % change and rank, with no option to override or customize. Desired behavior: Allow custom report page tooltips to apply to the ribbon transition areas as well, or at minimum provide a formatting option to choose which tooltip is displayed on each zone. This would give report authors full control over the tooltip experience across the entire visual. Context: This limitation was confirmed by a Super User in the Power BI Community in April 2020 and remains unresolved as of May 2026: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Ribbon-chart-custom-tooltip/td-p/1040519

Summary The recently introduced Recycle Bin in Microsoft Fabric is a very useful addition; however, it currently lacks support for multi‑select and bulk delete operations. Although the UI displays a checkbox (square box) suggesting multi‑selection is possible, selecting multiple items does not allow deleting or restoring them in one action. Current Limitation Users can only delete or restore one object at a time. The UI visually implies multi‑select capability, but the functionality is not implemented. This becomes inefficient and time‑consuming when cleaning up: Abandoned pipelines Temporary lakehouses Test notebooks CI/CD artifacts Failed or duplicate objects Expected / Requested Enhancement Enable the following capabilities in the Fabric Recycle Bin: True multi‑select support Allow selecting multiple objects using checkboxes. Bulk actions Delete selected items in a single operation. Restore selected items in a single operation. “Delete All” or “Empty Recycle Bin” option Similar to the Windows Recycle Bin experience. Clear visual feedback Enable/disable action buttons based on selection state. Why This Is Important Improves productivity and usability, especially in development and test environments. Aligns user expectations with standard operating‑system behavior (Windows Recycle Bin). Reduces repetitive manual actions and accidental errors. Supports better workspace hygiene, especially for teams using: CI/CD Frequent branching Automated pipeline generation Business Impact Faster environment cleanup Better developer experience Lower operational friction More intuitive and consistent UI behavior Conclusion Since the UI already indicates multi‑select capability, enabling bulk delete and restore would be a natural and highly valuable enhancement. Making the Fabric Recycle Bin function similarly to the Windows Recycle Bin would significantly improve usability and efficiency.
