Since publishing can take up to 10 minutes depending on the size of the file and upload speed, it would be nice to have a progress bar with an ETA so users don't cancel out of it because they don't see any progress.

Can't believe this still hasn't been implemented. This is really a basic requirement.

This is exactly what we need. It will make me want to wait, get a coffee, or go into a meeting when uploading #powerbi files.

This progress bar would definitely help when you have complicated network environment.

Doesn't even need to be a bar, just a xx/yy MB

Publishing the report is a process of uploading the file into power bi service and more. It is important to have a progress bar with time measures.

Seems like a quick fix that will enhance the experience significantly - way overdue

RE: Progress bar when publishing

My reports can take over 4 hours to publish and I never know if the upload is stuck or not. A progress bar / upload summary is essential. As of now, I can’t use PBI for this reason.

As a not so great workaround - if you use chrome to upload your file, you'll see the progress percentage in the URL loading bar when you click on any other element inside your power BI account.

RE: Progress bar when publishing

This is absolutely necessary when you have slow network speed.
