Allow Drill Mode in powerbi.com like available in desktop
In Power BI desktop you can select Drill Mode on to easily drill up and down in a chart. On PowerBI.com you have to use the "Explore" tab on the top of the report. This is not user friendly and confusing to end users.
Provide username function in Power Query - M or DAX calculated columns
Being restricted to just using username () in measures (or AllowedRowsExpression) means that you cannot use the context of the current user in slicers or page level or report level filters. Just to be clear, the desired result is not data security (that can be done through roles), it is to ...
Gateway data source menu dots
It took me quite a long time to find out how to delete data source in the gateway management. Then I noticed, that there are three very tiny dots (my eyesight is in good shape), which I can use to delete data source. It would be much more friendly if the dots were bigger :)

DAX Measure in Model Not Pulling through to PBIX
In my PowerPivot model, I added a couple new DAX measure last week. There are multiple measures currently there. All measures except for the newly added ones pull through to the Power BI Desktop to build dashboards on. I know that I can create a measure within the PBIX file itself; however...
Provide a way for custom visuals to get subtotals in their dataviews.
Since the only way currently available to request for subtotals to be provided in dataviews is by implementing a customizeQuery () method in the visual's plugin, which is, as far as I know, not possible under the custom visuals sandboxing, I think it would be extremely helpful if an alternative ...
Handling dimension defaults in Power BI
In a cube in the Time dimension the year is defaulted (let's say to 2015). When using the cube in Power BI, the tool doesn't handle this well. Instead of setting a default, Power BI interpretes this as a filter. Tableau doesn't have this problem.
