    vba or c# support would allow a two way conversation with the data.
    Very good. Can do this in Cognos. Would like to do it in PowerBI

    RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

    Yes.
    I made a VB6 app that used Excel as a calculation engine hidden in the background.
    An open Visual Basic library like in the Office suite would mean:

    1.You could automate report generation as you would do via manual workflow in SSIS and SSAS for local Excel/tsv/csv files

    2. You could also add button features in your reports that could switch between dark/bright themes in your report OR switch graphs with a click! Obviously any VB elements would have to publish to Power BI cloud to be useful!

    A great advantage over your competition from Qlik/Tableau.

    Phone app dev for IOS and Android has shown as well as power BI visuals; that the community will ALWAYS be able to come up with better ideas than Microsoft or any company might have the time for!
