I would like to have the ability to embed documentation such as a user guide into my report. I would like to be able to have a link, More Info, for example and be able to have the user get details about how the report works, calculations used, ect...

RE: Embed Documentation in a report

I'd love either a function in DAX that simply returns the GUID of the report/dashboard from the Power BI service (so I can pass it to a documentation URL in an external data catalog or wiki). Or a tenant-wide setting that binds all our content to a URL prefix and passes the unique IDs in a consistent part of the Power BI Service navigation frame (similar to the Help "?" menu, but with URL parameters that come along).

Having some elegant in tool facility to manage this will make the end user experience much smoother. We currently link off to a SharePoint wiki but it's a bit disjointed.
