Ability to move/drag filters across visual, page or report level
User just spent 10 minutes filtering data at a page level. Then they realise that the filter should be made at the report level instead. User tried to drag filter from page level to report level, but they couldn't do it.
Hierarchy for axis (x) in line visuals
In Excel, we can specify in a hierarchy of fields for the horizontal axis, which shows the values on top of each other quite nicely. Here is a screenshot of what I mean: http://i.imgur.com/fJWuCjI.png In my view (and the view of 3 of my customers) this is a must have for line charts in Power BI.
Gateway Update Notification and Auto update for Enterprise Gateway
We should be notified when there is a new version of both gateways. In addition, the Enterprise gateway should be updated automatically (admins should be able to turn this on/off).
add support for vector images (svg, emf, wmf, eps)
When adding images, we only have support for bitmap / raster image formats such as png, jpg, etc. These often tend to look distorted particularly when we shrink or expand the report beyond the resolution it has been designed in. Please allow support for vector images such as svg, emf, wmf and e...
Table conditional formatting improvements: better precision controls (greater than, less than, greater or equal, less or equal, equal, not)
When specifying a conditional formatting, we should have a better control of the colour gradients and precision on what colour constitutes what value. For example: * RED: Less than 0.5 * AMBER: Equal or greater than 0.5, less than 0.8 * GREEN: Equal or greater than 0.8 We might also not want to...
R visuals - allow upload of R packages just like Azure ML does
It is really neat that Power BI service now supports R visuals. However it is unfortunate that only a selected number of packages is available. What I suggest is the same approach that Azure ML took. They allow us to upload R packages to be used.
add a decent built-in time slicer into Power BI
The custom visual tlimeline slicer that Microsoft made available at https://app.powerbi.com/visuals/show/Timeline1447991079100 is an abomination. It is clunky, has poor customisation options, bad CSS, and overall poor UX experience. Microsoft needs to include a decent timeline slicer, like the ...
Provide the ability to insert measures as values for settings across all visuals (where appropriate)
For every visual out there, we can specify some sort of parameter to improve analysis. The problem is that for those parameters we can only specify a fixed, constant value. For example: * Values of constant lines, min/max lines, average, median and percentile lines. * Gauge Axis: Min, Max, Targe...
customisable date slicer hierarchy
Great news on the new date slicer. However I think it has a long way to go. I think that a good goal is to make it look as close to the Excel date slicer as possible from a feature perspective. One feature I think it is missing is that it should allow us to use a date hierarchy in it, AND IT MUS...
change report data source of published reports
Allow users to change the data source of existing reports. We noticed that each previously published report has its own individual data source, which is not necessary. However there is no way to change the data source of an existing published report. We can only specify an existing data source w...
