    Now as I see there is no feature to create a dashboard in Power BI desktop. It is really important because user may not require to publish all the reports online most of the times. Reports are low level elements of dashboards, so if user creates Dashboard in Power BI desktop, he can publish only Dashboards rather all the reports and dashboards.

    If we have such feature, he can publish report or dashboard only or both

    This feature is a must have for Power BI Desktop. Please enable this feature.

    I would like to have this feature as this would be very easy to manage every thing from a central tool.

    This is a really odd feature to leave out.

    We ended up with Tableau specifically for this reason. It cripples the product in an odd and unnecessary way.

    It would be really great! I also belive it should be connected with full screen option in Power BI desktop.

    This is a huge draw back for MSFT. Tableau give it out with their evaluation package and it used to be available in Excel power bi at one time

    I think the dashboard in Power BI desktop should be standardized, thus giving users an added benefit of managing content in the cloud - especially considering the cloud content is what is typically shared

    This also helps with a proper ALM process allowing for all developed elements being checked into a code repository!

    That should be done. I understand that you try to sell cloud service, but Desktop version without dashboards is to limited - you can't even evaluate how the dash potentially would look like. If you really have to earn on this - maybe ad dashboard creation with some limitations ?
