When using the SQL query UI for either Lakehouse or Warehouse, it's useful to write multiple queries in a single text editor window and then highlight/select a specific query and click Run or press CTRL + Enter to run just that query. Sometimes, however, the Fabric UI will try to run all queries in the text editor rather than just what's highlighted. This causes error messages and user confusion.   This occurs frequently for our team on multiple browsers - it seems that it doesn't happen if you highlight a query, then wait a second or so before running it. If you highlight a query and immediately press CTRL + Enter, it will instead run every query in the window. So, it appears to be some kind of a timing issue. ... View more

Hello Team, The issue is that the gateway's connection limit is currently set to 1000. We are facing a problem with this limitation, so please review the following request for feature enhancements in upcoming updates: we are  requesting the following feature enhancements: - Remove the connection limit on the on-premises data gateway, which is currently capped at 1000. - Automatically remove unused connections after a certain period, similar to the un-scheduling of panels. Please add a feature to remove inactive connections over time. - Add a new field in “connections” to show the date of the last update, allowing us to monitor active and inactive connections. - Create logs with connection information to facilitate connection monitoring. ...

PBI has a Build in auto trim resorce to remove Empty spaces in relationships to decreace the size of the semantic model.   How ever in some cases this can be a problem (check this post). I had a case that I need to replace the space for the "potiation space" since others words had "_" in the PK. This solve my issue however it added 5 minutes in the ETL process doing the replace.   It would be awsome have a option to turn off this feature, even better in a relationship by relationship base. ...

In Power BI Report Server, you can use the "Export Data" option from the visual's menu (three dots "...") to export the table into Excel, but it will be in a raw format without exact styling. Unfortunately, selecting and copying multiple cells like in Excel isn't supported directly, and for better formatted exports, you may need to rebuild the format manually or request a paginated report. My colleague even suggested taking a screenshot of a table I want to work with, putting it in AI and asking it to produce a table I can select, copy and paste into Excel or in an email / word document. Isn't this so much work for something that could be so simple? ... View more

It would be great to extend the scope of Variable Library items to other fabric items. 2 use cases are:   Expose library varaiables and assign them via stage rules / parameters in deployment pipelines. Ability to access library variables when authoring Gen2 git ci/cd Dataflows. Extending the use of such "global variables" increases implementation flexability and does away with brittle workarounds.   NB At present it is not possible to select Deployment Pipelines Rules/Parameters for Gen2 git ci/cd Dataflows. ...

Snowflake rolled out a new security measure that all SERVICE users should connect to snowlake using SSH Key Pair Authentication.  I see that PowerBI does not offer the possibility to use SSH Key Pair Authentication in their snowflake connector.

When working with Power BI reports containing many pages, the horizontal list of tabs at the bottom becomes cluttered and difficult to navigate. I suggest adding a page grouping feature that would allow users to: Organize report pages into collapsible groups or folders. Expand or collapse these groups using a simple toggle or arrow. Visually simplify the navigation and make large reports much more user-friendly. This would work similarly to folders in a file explorer or section groups in OneNote. Such a feature would greatly improve usability for both report developers and end-users, especially in corporate environments where a single Power BI file may contain dozens of pages. ... View more

Hi Team   We are implementing Fabric and and due to our organisational policies, granting Devs the Workspace Admin Role poses issues as it breaches access management policies. Devs would be able to add users to their Workspace, bypassing standard controls.   Below is a summary of a response from one of your technical team confirming the position.   It would be great if you could consider an additional role for users who require this capabilities.   Thanks     "After internally for any alternative avenues, we have confirmed that the current setup for Git integration with Microsoft Fabric Workspaces requires – in all scenarios -- the Workspace Admin role for actions such as connecting, disconnecting, and syncing with Git repositories (Git integration process - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn). This means that non-admin users cannot perform these Git operations without having the ability to add other users to the workspace, which we understand conflicts with your company's security policy." ...

Currently in Power BI, there is no built-in option to control or limit the number of selections a user can make in a slicer. While some custom visuals offer this feature, they behave unexpectedly — for example, the slicer automatically closes when the user exceeds the selection limit. Instead, it would be much better if Power BI provided a native option to limit slicer selections, such that users are prevented from selecting more than the allowed number of values, rather than allowing selection and auto-closing the slicer. This would greatly improve usability, especially in reports where we need to control filtering behavior strictly ... View more

It would be extremely useful if in Power BI Desktop it were possible to insert the same icons available on the Insert tab in other Microsoft tools, such as Excel, Power Point and Word. In Power BI, this feature could be positioned in Insert -> Elements, along with text box options, shapes, images, etc.   Example: position of the Icons feature in Power Point.   Suggestion of where the feature could be positioned.   ...

Story: As a report creator, I would like to be able to have all relevant data into a single report but be able to share specific report pages to distinct users.   Problem: Report creators are unable to apply user permissions to a report sheet/page. This forces users to create an entirely separate report instead of keeping everything consolidated into a single report. This increases time, complexity of management for distinct report stakeholders.   Workarounds: Report creators are able to create page navigation options and buttons to obscure and hide additional pages and apply those items to an RLS.   Implications with workaround: If the URL of reports are shared by other stakeholders or drill-down is used, you can access all the data and content being hidden from another page. This approach assumes the user will never obtain a link from another collaborative user. ... View more

Visual Query is positioned as a low-code ELT tool, but it lacks the ability to add custom expressions to create new columns—a basic feature present in Power Query. This limits its usability for data professionals who work with large datasets but want to avoid writing full SQL queries for basic transformations.   Custom Column is essential for basic ELT logic (e.g. column math, conditional flags). Its absence forces users to either switch to full SQL or abandon Visual Query. ... View more

The experience of users who want to do more exploration on a drill through page feels too clunky.    Here's my scenario, and the limitation I'm running into:  I have a Monthly report page, with two card visuals that display my measure "Turnover %".  Each card visual has a filter applied on the visual, which filters each to different Job Family Groups.  I have a drill through page that gives more information on Turnover. The drill through is via measure my measure, Turnover %.  When users drill through, the new page has all the context filters applied from the Monthly page. That includes filters on Date and Job Family Group.    Here's the problem - what if users want to do more exploration now that they are on this drill down page? What if they were looking at Job Family Group A, and now want to see Job Family Group B? The drill through filter passed the Last 1 Month (Calendar) filter on Date, what if they want to look at the last 6 months?    I have Slicers on the page for Date and Job Family Group. But the drill through filters are passed via the Filter Pane, so the Job Family Group slicer still says "All" despite the Filter Pane having a conflicting filter on "Job Family Group A".  I could have a button which creates a bookmark that clears these hidden filters from the Filter Pane.  Or I could just forego drill thorugh altogether, and have users just go to a separate page for more detail, where they can apply their slicers there.  But I think users should be able to drill through from one page, have the filters reflected in Slicers on the destination drill through page, which they can then adjust if they choose.  ...
