It would be a good thing that a moderator groups some ideas. When looking for ideas I see very often multiple ideas saying a bit the same thing. I know, all due to users not searching good and starting all their own idea.
But this makes the votes for some good enhancements to low. Quite some people have the same idea is a good sign that their is a need, but all these votes get spread .. And that is not good.

RE: Group Ideas

Today, when I have an idea I'd like to share on 'ideas.powerbi.com' site, first of all I look for similar ideas reported previously by other users on the site, in order to avoid repeating several times the same, and concentrate the votes on a unique idea to increase its ranking.
To do so without losing time, after searching the idea with key words, I would like to be able to sort or filter the returned ideas by different aspects: at least "Hot", "Top", "New" and the related "Status". Could you implement that quickly to improve our experience and the quality of the feedback we give?
Many thanks

Alas, I'm not confident anyone at MS will find this post...or your comment. Should definitely be able to filter search by votes, so that votes (or considerable time reading votes) aren't wasted.

RE: Group Ideas

I'm trying to find out if there is a ticket already available for being able to copy a table from one PBIX file to another. I can type in "Copy Table" into the search, but there are several pages of ideas brought back that contain this. I would like to very easily sort the ideas by votes so I can add my vote to the one that contains the most votes to help put this idea on the prioritization list.

RE: Group Ideas

Allow a person to follow a Power BI idea on the forum without giving votes to it. It would let us keep tabs on the updates for ideas we like but don't have enough votes to support,

RE: Group Ideas

On this forum, it would be helpful to see date stamps beside each post and comment when viewing an idea list such as this one: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/status/1328500

Also, it would be helpful to have a "meta" category for ideas on topics other than the Power BI product itself.

RE: Group Ideas

On this site ideas.powerbi.com, when you search for ideas, the ideas show should the category so it's easier to figure out which category my new idea should be assigned too.
