1. Integration with Microsoft: Enhanced security and seamless interface with Power BI.

2. Matrix and Table Visuals as MS Excel files: See your matrix and table visuals in Power BI as MS Excel files, sent to you as email attachments. With support for full vertical and horizontal scrolling, so that you can easily view ALL your data. With report filters and slicers applied, so you can view ONLY your data!

3. Support for custom Canvas (page) sizes: Build your Power BI reports with any canvas size and aspect ratio. Use BI Helper to automate PDF creation and report distribution.

Since the last comment from the Power BI team was from over one year ago, I´d like to share an alternative. There is a great (cheap) tool out there that does this. I am in no way involved with this product so please don't flag as inappropriate. Check out https://www.powerbitiles.com.
My company is using this. Since the Power BI API has recently changed, they will soon also support filters on bookmarks. Check it out!

Microsoft works on so many Power BI enhancements that provide little to no value. This would be a huge value add. PLEASE GET THIS DONE!!!

I mean, I set a fresh Outlook reminder to check every 3 months.. that's happened many times. Can you share a fresh update @Nikhil please?
