The space taken up by each side of the columns in this chart is a waste of space and I have to make my visual take up more space than necessary just so that the bars are visible. I would love if I have to make my graph big to at least make the bars big. Otherwise let me get rid of this extra space.

Would it be possible to include user details (such as account ID, email, or display name) in OneLake events within the Fabric Real-Time Hub so we can identify which user triggered each event? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/real-time-hub/explore-fabric-onelake-events Including user information in OneLake events would be very helpful, as it would enable us to apply filters and implement custom logic further down the architecture. For example, if a specific user uploads a file, we could trigger an Activator alert, while uploads from other users might follow a different process. Another scenario would be triggering a pipeline when a user creates a file and, if the process fails, notifying only the user who performed the action. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Hello, Inbound and outbound security features of Fabric workspaces are wonderful, giving you strong controls regardless of Azure tenant settings. Currently, privilege for enabling and disabling these features, and their configurations is part of workspace admin role. And since workspace admin role is bundled with bulk of privileges, even developers may need to have this role for their development workspaces, which makes this important privilege very accesible. If there would be a Security Officer role, and not in workspace but overall Fabric level, having control of outbound and inbound security privilege (and only security related privileges, nothing else), that can give more assurance this privilege will not be misused. Thank you,

Hi, Im trying to schedule refresh for a semantic model for every 5 hours and I am using cloud gateway connection and workspace Identity as Authentication method(other auths like key, Oauth2.0 are failing and getting error like invalid credentials). Only for workspace identity it doesnt give any error message. So tried that but still got the below error. The fix needs to be done at which end, powerbi or azure ? Anyone faced similar kind of issue ? need help on this. Note: Source are parquet files and those are resided in azure blob. Error Message: the last refresh attempt failed because of an internal service error. This is usually a transient issue. If you try again later and still see this message, contact support. {"error":{"code":"Premium_ASWL_Error","pbi.error":{"code":"Premium_ASWL_Error","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"Premium_ASWL_Error_Details_Label","detail":{"type":1,"value":"We are unable to refresh the semantic model because the model uses a data connection configured for Workspace Identity authentication, but the workspace has no identity, or the model owner does not have permissions to use the workspace identity. Please configure a workspace identity and make sure the model owner has Contributor (or higher) access to the workspace, or use a different authentication method."}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}}

In the list of applied steps in Power BI when in edit mode, it would be useful to be able to disable a step instead of having to delete it. This is sometimes helpful so you don’t need to remove it and then add it again afterward. For example, if you add a column, convert it to text, and then replace decimal commas with decimal points, it would be useful to disable the decimal‑replacement step without having to undo everything. regards,

Today, semantic model version history helps restore snapshots for a single semantic model, but it doesn’t provide an environment‑to‑environment diff or reconciliation report. Customers need an automated compare/diff view (tables/measures/relationships/RLS) across environments to safely replicate PROD changes into UAT and audit “who changed what”. Request: extend/version history & deployment experience to include cross‑environment change tracking and comparisons (not just per‑model snapshots).

Currently, when a Power BI Gateway connection is created and authenticated ( using a Microsoft account authentication method via any user id/service account), there is no way to later identify which account was originally used for authentication, once the connection is created. In many organizations, admins configure gateway connections using service accounts. However, once the connection is created, Power BI does not provide visibility into: Which account was used to authenticate the connection There is no way we can figure this out via gateway logs or any other method. Note manage access only tells us who is having access to gateway conn. not the account using which the conn is authenticated. This creates challenges in governance, auditing, troubleshooting, and account lifecycle management—especially when service accounts change, passwords expire, or ownership needs to be transferred. Atleaset the id using which the account is authenticated should be visible or some option in admin portal to get this detail for each connection.

The Explore (preview) feature is not available when embedding a Power BI report on Sharepoint/Web. 1. This feature is a great alternative to analyze in excel, and potentially may help reduce the need to export data. Support for visual calculations and charts are powerful tools for business users, to perform the analysis, in compliance with the governance applied on a report/model. 2. Embedded url settings: When the action bar is enabled in the embedded url, the feature would appear in teh same location as when opening the report on the Power BI Service. 3. Embedded without action bar: In cases where the action bar is not enabled, it would be useful to have a method for accessing he explore function from within the report (eg button, new visual). 4. View explorations linked to a report/model: The analysis performed by business users via Explore, may be useful as well for developers/product owners to understand what a report is lacking, and expand the model/report accordingly.

It would be great if we can have option with multiple card, when only one of them is not having reference data, to center this card and do not have the outlook of them the same. As fro now I can delete background and divider but no option to move it down as still reference layout is there.

Can we get the Matrix Visual Row and Column Headers Conditional Formating with background color and font color and different font styles in the next power bi update?

Currently high concurrency session is available only under strict rules. as of now: Session sharing conditions include: Sessions should be within a single user boundary. Sessions should have the same default lakehouse configuration. Sessions should have the same Spark compute properties. If we could reuse high concurrency session between multiple users, that would improve usability in big teams where a lot of people run may small task at the same time. All other conditions can be met.

As of now, in between functionality works only for numeric or date fileds. It should be available for text field which will make it eaier to view the data based on different duration like monthly, quarterly and so on. Date picker is not easy to use. Since we can order any field so same ordering can be used to define the in between line. Furtheremore, for numerica fields as well there should be option of treating numeric fields as categorical column instead of continuous, so that we can avoid using the values which is not in the data column.

We’re exploring support for computed columns in Fabric DW - columns derived from expressions over other columns (for example, totals, normalized values, or derived flags). For eg: CREATE TABLE Products ( Price decimal(10, 2), Tax decimal(10, 2), TotalPrice AS (Price + Tax) PERSISTED ); These columns are not physically stored (unless marked as PERSISTED in SQL Server) but are computed on the fly during query execution. Computed columns are supported in SQL Server and Azure Synapse. Would this be useful for your workloads? • What scenarios would you use computed columns for? • Would you prefer persisted vs non‑persisted? • Any performance or usability considerations we should keep in mind? We’d love to hear your feedback.

Currently, EventStream supports adding Event Hub as an input source using the SAS Key authentication method. Please add support for Managed Identity–based authentication so that EventStream can align with Microsoft’s Safe Secrets and keyless authentication best practices. This would improve security posture, eliminate secret rotation overhead, and enable seamless integration with Azure resources using RBAC.

Problem: Developers and reviewers with edit permissions frequently open notebooks for reading. Notebooks currently open in edit mode with autosave, which causes accidental changes and noisy version history. Request: Open notebooks in View‑only mode by default, or at least add an option (user preference or workspace/tenant policy) to open notebooks in view-only mode. Edit mode should require intentional button click. Benefits: prevents accidental edits, reduces accidental autosaves, safer review workflows, aligns Fabric with other notebook UX patterns (view-first), prevents false "notebook has been updated" triggers in IDE.

In the description, include these points (these resonate strongly with PMs): Fabric Admins currently have no UI visibility into subscriptions across workspaces The removal of “Manage all subscriptions” created a governance gap Admin API is not sufficient for non‑technical admins Subscription sprawl creates compliance and offboarding risks Request: Add a tenant‑level subscription viewer in the Admin Portal Tag it under: Admin Governance Power BI / Fabric Service After posting, share the link internally so your team can upvote it — Microsoft prioritizes ideas with traction.

Currently, you can hit weird errors or slow performance when trying to open items in a workspace that is linked to a paused capacity. It would be a real quality-of-life improvement if there would be a small message or popup showing when a workspace is linked to a paused capacit.

PowerBI "automagically" changes the data you carefully prepared in Query Editor. Once you close the Query Editor and apply the changes, your (text) data get changed... Look at this screenshots and you will, hopefully, share my view that THIS IS A BUG. Data visible in Query Editor: Data visible in a table: I was puzzled for few hours before doing this simple check...

Problem Today, when using thin reports (live connection to a shared semantic model) in Power BI Apps, end users must be granted Build permission on the dataset for report queries to execute. Build permission also enables model exploration capabilities such as: - Analyze in Excel - Creation of personal reports - Visibility of the semantic model structure This creates a governance issue for regulated domains such as HR and Finance, even when Row-Level Security (RLS) is correctly enforced. Why this matters Power BI Apps are designed to distribute content to broad, non-technical audiences using: - One governed semantic model - Many thin reports - Multiple app audiences However, the current permission model forces organizations to choose between: - Security (no Build permission, therefore no thin reports), or - Scalability (thin reports with Build permission exposure) As a result, teams are pushed into suboptimal workarounds: - Duplicating semantic models per report - Limiting access to very small trusted audiences - Avoiding App-based distribution entirely This breaks the intended “one model, many audiences” architecture. Proposed enhancement Introduce a viewer-level execution permission for datasets used by thin reports in Power BI Apps. This would allow: - Execution of predefined report queries - Full enforcement of Row-Level Security - App-based distribution to broad audiences Without enabling Build or model exploration capabilities. Business value This would enable secure, large-scale Power BI App distribution, reduce semantic model duplication and maintenance overhead, and better support regulated enterprise use cases such as HR and Finance.
