Interactive Pinned Excecl Ranges in Reports
It is now possible to load an Excel Workbook via OneDrive for Business and pin a range to a dashboard. But the pinned range is not interactive - it is just a static image.

Improve Scaling and Resizing for different Dimension Reports
There are many different resolution screens out there in the world. Power BI is pretty good at scaling and resizing native visuals to different size screens. However with the addition of new features like embedded images and third party visualisations, the resizing and scaling is not good enoug...
Conditional formatted measures using SWITCH
A current limitation in Power BI SWITCH measures (and all Power Pivot actually) is that a SWITCH measure must have a single format. It is currently not possible to conditionally format the measure result based on any criteria - it is one single format only. There are valid use cases where you m...
Extend "Include In Report Refresh" Further
The new "Include in Report Refresh" released in July 2016 is a great addition - now the data modeller can selectively turn on/off tables to be refreshed. It would be great to allow the user to set parameters and events to control when a table is refreshed. Eg a parameter that says "if a ser...

If I add a list of State codes to the location card on a map, the results will normally not be accurate. The States selected could be from anywhere in the world - if you don't add the country details first, you get inconsistent results. There is a work around that can be achieved by adding the C...
Link a Bookmark to Image with Spotlight Enabled
I would like to create a bookmark with a visual in spotlight mode AND provide a button to return to regular mode. Currently (as far as I can determine) I can place a visual in Spotlight mode and then add a bookmark for this. I can then link this "spotlight bookmark" to an image for the user to c...
