Allow me to utilize SSRS PowerView just like I can with Excel PowerView and pin reports to the dashboard, however with SSRS, I would like to connect to on-prem data sources

Hi Doug, thanks for the suggestion. We have another suggestion for connections to on-prem data sources. Can you elaborate on the SSRS Power View requirement? Do you need to upload existing rdlx reports?

I'm assuming this would mean that we can query multiple data sets at the same time - looking for unique keys, etc? That would be great.

This is a must for a dashboard. Hope this comes soon would love to start using this but for now my dashboard requires slicers/filters.

Isn't a dashboard supposed to act almost like a report? As "Anonymous" mentioned, the dashboard seems pretty useless if you can't interact somehow with the charts that are present in the dashboard. Otherwise you would just drill down to the underlying report every time you actually would like to get some insights in the data.

Hi, this feature would be great for giving quick insight in the performance of specific parts of the company, without the need to drill down into the underlying dashboards...

The dashboards are fairly useless without this....

RE: PowerView rdlx connecting to on-prem data source

Hi, understanding the technical implications and challenges with this... :) (need to trust the same dimension schema/behavior across different models? kind of virtual/federated semantic model ) this would for sure a very handy feature, otherwise we really are just seeing a disconnected mashup of dashboard widgets :)
