RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

Thank you all for the feedback since our last update. We're working on building a new navigation experience to allow authors to customize a folder-like structure for all the contents within Power BI Apps. Stay tuned!

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

Why did Power BI take a step back comparing to all competitors and... Reporting Services?! Without folder structures and security based on the hierarchy of logical containers Power BI is constantly challenged by security fellows from IT teams in the enterprises. Not to mention that with folders we could clean the mess we currently have in our Power BI workspaces... C'mon, Microsoft, it's time to deliver this feature to Power BI.

Hey everyone,

an update on this Feature would be great - as we are planning on creating lots of reports for the whole Organisation in Power BI we will need to have the ability to structure the reports.

Best regards
Judith

Yes, still waiting for this, and true (complete) export to excel. This is a deal breaker

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

Hello Nikhil, is there any information available on how this 'folder-like' structure will work? We are in the report/dashboard distribution design phase of our Power BI roll-out and this is key.

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,

Carlo
