ISSUE: Currently, when developing a report in PBI Desktop, if one wants to set up an Incremental Refresh policy for the Service to refresh the semantic model more efficiently, as opposed to a full refresh since the beginning of time, then all non-folding steps in the M or Power Query queries that create the tables in your model, and for which you want to enjoy incremental refresh, need to be removed.     This is an arbitrary barrier to productivity and efficiency.    This is true as of 2025-05-23.       IMPROVEMENT: The Power Query Editor and the M functional programming language is a great tool to perform ETL/ELT.   And any non-trivial work will require the user to rely on non-folding function calls whether because it is not possible to achieve in SQL or just plain too hard or cumbersome and it is more elegant to do it in M.  Or perhaps simply because you inherit the job from someone else, and the architecture that is in place cannot be changed by you only and/or easily, or a slew of other reasons. In other words, the user is stuck with what she has been given.     No problem though, because M can do it all.  But this means that you need to avail yourself of a bunch of non-folding functions. And now you are stuck.  You can't set up an Incremental Refresh policy in PBI Desktop because the Service initiated refresh will just keep on failing.   THEREFORE (assumption is that the data source is a lakehouse table or file, or a data warehouse or SQL Server)  -->  Microsoft implement an engine that is smart enough to understand that all it has to do is:   1__grab the data from source according to the defined refresh range; this is just a matter of using a filter on a datetime column;  this will be the raw data;   2__pass this data into a M engine that will perform the transformations as per the user M code, as the desktop M engine already does;   3__store the output into the semantic model, which is now refreshed accordingly.      I mean, this is just such a simple workflow, it is hard to comprehend why it is not possible atm to do this.  Why are users forced into an either/or posture: either all steps in a M query fold, or they don't and you are out of luck?   ...

The UpdateFromGit API requires "workspaceHead" and "remoteCommitHash" in the body.  It's easy to figure out the remoteCommitHash from the git log which is the last commit of the repository.  But it is tricky for the workspaceHead.  My company's Git Integration setup have one Git repository and multiple workspaces from PBI mapped to respective folders within the same repo, so each workspace's head is different.  I can see the workspace head value displayed in the PBI service UI when I access each workspace.  We need a programmatic way for us to get that value for different workspaces, as we are trying to automate the process (through scripting) which pulls down the committed changes inside the Git repo and sync to the Power BI service.  Or better yet, if this API can be enhanced - since we are already providing the workspace ID in the API call, it should automatically figure out the workspaceHead for that id behind the scene, so we don't have to figure it out with coding and provide it in the body.   curl --location 'https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/git/updateFromGit' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer token' \ --data '{ "workspaceHead": "4a480a507fc051a009fd52a412a6be3c9909b603", "remoteCommitHash": "e75bd9ba6db14fabc2d25895e4e83fe8c9bfb260", "conflictResolution": { "conflictResolutionType": "Workspace", "conflictResolutionPolicy": "PreferRemote" }, "options": { "allowOverrideItems": true } }' ...

Host Power BI theme files in workspaces so that multiple reports can be connected to the same theme file.  That way multiple reports' themes can be updated simultaneously by updating a single file.   It should also be possible to connect a single report to multiple theme files and allow the user to toggle between them (to switch between a dark and light theme, for example). ...

Dear Fabric  Team,   I would like to share a feature idea that could improve the modeling experience in Power BI.   Feature Request: In Model View, allow users to choose a preferred schema layout (e.g., Star Schema or Snowflake Schema), and automatically position selected tables accordingly. When a user marks a table as a fact or dimension, the model should automatically rearrange those tables into their appropriate "zones" based on the selected schema type. Why this matters: Speeds up the modeling process, especially for new users. Helps maintain consistent data modeling practices. Provides a clear visual structure that aligns with best practices in data modeling. I believe this enhancement would make Power BI more intuitive and efficient, especially during the initial setup of data models. Thank you for your continuous improvement of Power BI. Best regards, Abdullah Ozisik ... View more

Currently, the only way to add a Fabric artifact (Pipeline, Warehouse, Dataflow, etc.) to a Task Flow item is to click the link icon (paperclip in the lower right corner) of the Task Flow item.   It would be nice if the user could start with the context menu available from the elipsis of the artifact, and from there have an option like "Add to Task Flow item".  ...

In a standard web browser page (pick just about any product: Edge, Chrome, I.E., etc.) a standard user interface action to zoom in and out is to hold down the Ctrl key and move the mouse scroll wheel. Typically, one click of the scroll wheel will zoom in or out 10% per click.  But in Fabric Task View, that same action takes me from this: to this: with one notch of the wheel.  This is horrible user interaction.   Please make it so one notch of the scroll wheel equals 10% zoom in or out, respectively. ...

It would be excellent to improve the desktop refresh UI. For large reports it's very hard to track progress and use the information to improve.   Currently all tables start in "Creating connection in model" which of course they aren't. The status icon spinner is spinning for every table until they all finish, of course they're not all busy. It's a small non-resizable window, and you have to scroll around to see what's happening. Once the refresh finishes, the window closes with no record of what happened.   It would be great to improve the UI: Show what each source is really doing - "Waiting", "Retreiving schema information", "Loading data", "Processing loaded data and calculating columns", "Complete". Change the spinner to show the status - waiting (spinner)/working (something else!)/complete (tick). Show the start time and completion time for each table (and peak memory used would be a godsend). Make the window resizable, scroll to the last udpated status (if the user hasn't scrolled manually elsewhere). Don't close the window at the end, allow us to save it to a file (or table), perhaps with even more detailed logging information. Finally - as many others have requested - I'd love something similar to the above log to be available somewhere for refreshes on the PowerBI service. ... View more
