How are teams handling AI-driven automation around Power BI Embedded applications?
I’m exploring patterns for adding AI-driven automation around Power BI Embedded applications. For example: Power BI Embedded → user interaction → backend/API event → AI analysis → business action I’m particularly interested in how teams are handling: event-driven actions from embedded reports calling backend APIs securely using AI to summarize or interpret report context triggering workflows based on report interactions authentication with service principals or managed identities keeping the architecture maintainable in production Are there recommended patterns for combining Power BI Embedded, Fabric APIs, and AI services without putting too much logic into the client application?Share your thoughts on the Gantt chart visual (preview)
Have you used the new Gantt chart visual (preview)? We’d love to hear from you! What is the Gantt chart visual? The Gantt chart is a new Power BI visual currently in preview. It provides a way to visualize project schedules, tasks, milestones, timelines, and progress directly in your Power BI reports. How can I learn more about the Gantt chart? Check out the documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-gantt We’re especially interested in hearing about how you’re using the visual, what’s working well, what could be improved, and what capabilities you’d like to see next. Some guidelines to keep in mind: Be specific: Clearly describe what worked well or what didn’t, providing concrete examples where possible. Screenshots would be great, but please use fake data or hide your data values. Stay respectful and objective: Focus on the product or feature, not the people behind it. Offer suggestions: If pointing out an issue, recommend potential improvements or alternatives. This helps us understand what we can do differently. Be concise: Keep your comments focused and to the point to ensure your feedback is actionable. Looking forward to hearing from you! Zoe Douglas, one of the Power BI Product Managers
Reduce Category Header Height in New Card Visual
Hi Community, I'm using the New Card Visual in Power BI and have enabled the title with a blue background and white text. As shown below, the Category Header area appears quite tall compared to other visual titles (such as chart titles), and I'm trying to reduce the height of the blue header section to make the KPI cards more compact and visually consistent with the rest of the report. I've already tried: Reducing the text size Checking Multi-category Layout settings Looking for padding or spacing options ( I have made it to 0) However, the header height only decreases slightly and still occupies more space than desired. Question: Is there any way to further reduce the Category Header height in the New Card Visual, or is there a minimum height limitation built into the visual? Ideally, I'd like the header to look similar to the title bar shown in standard chart visuals. Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Current Card Visual: Desired Appearance:Share your thoughts on the New Power Query experience in Power BI Desktop (Preview)
Update (September 2026): The new Power Query experience in Power BI Desktop now includes both Get Data and Power Query Editor in preview. When we opened this thread in May, the preview focused on Get Data and the new editor was still ahead of us. You can now try the redesigned editor too, and we'd love your feedback on the full experience. We're working toward a more consistent, accessible, and streamlined way to prepare data across Power BI Desktop and other Power Query experiences. The preview now covers: Get Data: Discover data sources, use recent connections or the OneLake catalog, and start a connection in the redesigned flow. Power Query Editor: Shape your data using the ribbon, Queries pane, data preview, and Applied steps. You can also explore schema and diagram views, and edit M in the formula bar or Advanced Editor. How to try it: In Power BI Desktop, go to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview features, select New Power Query experience, and choose OK. The same preview setting enables both Get Data and the new editor. Select Transform data on the Home tab to open Power Query Editor. It's still a preview. Some connectors and workflows use the legacy experience, and there are known limitations in both Get Data and the editor. If a limitation blocks your work in Desktop, you can clear the New Power Query experience preview checkbox to return to the legacy experience; no restart is needed. The limitations article explains specific gaps and workarounds, including where that fallback applies.

Data Explorer glitched on scroll
Good afternoon, everyone! I've been experiencing some issues with the Data pane in Power BI Desktop. Whenever I scroll up or down, the panel glitches, causing the list of tables and fields to freeze or stop updating visually. I've already tried repairing the installation, reinstalling Power BI Desktop, updating to the latest version, and updating my graphics drivers, but none of these attempts have resolved the issue. Has anyone experienced something similar or found a solution? I've attached a video demonstrating the issue. In the video, I first scroll up, wait for the glitch to disappear, and then scroll down. As you can see, the problem persists in both directions. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Navigate Between Multiple Power BI Report Server Reports Inside Power BI Mobile App
Hello everyone, We are using Power BI Mobile with an on-premises Power BI Report Server. We have multiple Power BI reports, and we would like users to navigate from one report to another using buttons inside the reports. For example: Report 1 → Report 2 → Report 3 Our goal is to keep the navigation inside the Power BI Mobile app. Currently, when we use the normal Power BI Report Server report URL in a button, the link may open through the mobile web browser instead of opening the target report directly inside the Power BI Mobile app. Is there an officially supported way to navigate between different Power BI Report Server reports while staying inside the Power BI Mobile app? For example, is there a supported deep link, URL format, or another navigation method specifically for on-premises Power BI Report Server? Please note that we are using Power BI Report Server (on-premises), not the Power BI Service. Thank you for your help.
Latest version of Power BI
Hello @everyone I'm having a small issue with the latest version of Power BI. I can't seem to find the option: Format → Data Labels → Display Units → None which was previously used to display the full number instead of abbreviated values such as 1K or 3.2K. Could anyone please advise how to show the full value in the new Card visual? Thanks in advance
