Data Driven Alerts Supported for Dual KPI Visual
The Dual KPI custom visual has many features and is a great addition to reports and dashboards. However, currently a data driven 'alerts' can't be configured against the Dual KPI. I'd prefer to use the Dual KPI over Cards, Gauges, and the standard KPI but lack of 'alerts' support is a roadblo...
Power BI Deployment Wizard
The Power BI Deployment Wizard would provide a graphical interface within an app workspace to define all the required variables of the deployment including target workspace, target dataset (or copy dataset), which reports and dashboards to deploy, etc. Additionally, the deployment wizard wo...
Report Page AutoFormat
The Report Page AutoFormat option would be a new icon on the Home tab in Power BI Desktop that would analyze the current layout of the page and make smart guesses in applying a more consistent and overall better layout. In later releases, a dropdown would be added for applying richer autoformat l...
Report Theme Designer
The Report Theme Designer pane would be accessible from the View tab just like the other panes (Field Properties, Bookmarks, Selection, Sync Slicers) and would allow the theme designer to easily choose the colors. font families, text sizes, etc at a granular level. Once complete, the author could...
Composite Storage Models
This feature would split the storage of an imported table between in-memory (cache) and disk. The dataset designer would be able to set a policy defining the rows (partitions) of the fact table that would be stored in memory similar to an incremental refresh policy. For example, the model could a...
Capacity Level Administration Settings
In the current state you can only configure these tenant level settings for users and security groups. So if you allow security group A to use a feature, the users in security group A can use that feature across the workspaces in the tenant. The capacity settings page in the Power BI admin po...
Dataset Creator Tenant Setting
A Create workspaces setting exists in the Power BI Admin portal for defining which security groups of users are allowed to create the new app workspaces. While this setting alone is helpful, there should also be a tenant level setting for restricting which users are able to publish or configure a...
Pinning Datasets to Memory
In the current state, the Power BI service will evict a dataset from memory if it needs to free up memory for other datasets and if the dataset is relatively idle (not being queried or refreshed). Teams should be able to exclude certain datasets from this behavior to ensure these datasets will al...
Power BI Dataset Design App
In the future there should be a dedicated app for designing datasets exclusive of Power BI Desktop. Power BI Desktop's existing modeling capabilities should be retained but all of this modeling functionality and future modeling investments should go to the new app. (This is similar to what happen...
Dataset Perspectives
The new modeling view in Power BI Desktop supports multiple layouts and many features (multi-select) that make designing large models easier. Perspectives should be added to the new modeling view with a 'Manage Perspectives' icon next to the Manage Relationships and Manage Roles icons on the Mode...
