Drag and drop, you know, like Tableau
Why can't I just fields to an axis in Power Bi desktop? Just like you can in Tableau.
Why can't I right-click on a layer to set its properties?
Why can't I simply right click on a layer to set its properties such as decimal placement, font size/color, marker colors, etc.?
Fix border spacing/padding issues around field/filter boxes.
This is supposed to be a VISUAL reporting tool yet there are very few allowable controls on the visual aspects. - Why NO options to edit the border spacing/padding around field/filter boxes? There is padding on the left, top and right sides but NONE on the bottom. - Why NO option to turn off...

Allow individual reports to be exported in formats other than CSV/XLS.
