myself and manager have pro lisence but we cannot create a view for the CEO because he needs to have full pro lisence. if this is followed your product would suck in the industry in front of products like tableau or qlikview which have seperate viewing lisence at a cheeper rate for the higher ups who do not need to edit the data and only have to view the dashboards. Especially for a small to medium scale enterprize its mental and plain right stupid in investing for a pro lisence for all its employees. provide packages wherein so many employees can edit while the rest can view for eg. PLEASE FIX THIS MICROSOFT , YOU FINALLY HAVE A GOOD PRODUCT, DONT MESS IT UP
Thankyou.

I a pretty technical user but have never been able to get a Excel workbook to update date when loaded to Power BI,

Using the analyze in excel feature:
Nope, update not allowed.

Saving a file in Sharepoint:
Nope, can't load to a group.

Creating the file online from a report or dataset:
Refresh not supported

I know it's possible, but the secret way that the excel spreadsheet need to be configured is not obvious.

I have tried an given up more times than I can count.

Perhaps there is a document that describes the steps, but it's lost in the noise when I search for it.

It should not be difficult to make this work.

Just make the "analyze in Excel" connection work when the workbook is uploaded.
Or have a way to easily create a connection that will support refresh from an existing dataset.

Most users would generally like to export their entire report into PDF/PPT. Using the URL method limits the ability to export the entire report at once. Since it opens every report in a new page.
It would be so useful to have the ability for the URLs to act like BOOKMARKS so that navigation within the Report is dynamic and there can be a central landing page. Also, this will avoid creating static landing pages (example -for every Country/Region if the table/matrix visual) . So in my example, I have 7 reports and each of these 7 reports are viewed across different countries (10). So i essentially have 70 bookmarks. The users always want to export that entire set of reports into a PPT. I have no option today but to create 10 Home pages for each country with buttons and individual bookmarks. This is non productive and also a big overhead.

In my company, the BI team uses SAP Analytics cloud and BOBJ. I built all of my datasets in Power BI. I work with sensitive information that the BI team is not privileged to see. It would be great if I could share a Power BI service visual URL to the BI that could be used as a refreshable data source in their BOBJ models. The visual would return the same data that you get if you export the data in Excel. It would just be simply something that could be grabbed via a query and loaded into a 3rd party model.

We'd love to get more insight as to how (and if) our users are actually using and interacting with our reports. We looked into the JavaScript event model that embedding gives us, but it's quite limited and doesn't really give us what we need.

For example, if we wanted to know how many users as choosing the "Export Data" menu item on reports, we have no way of doing this with current functionality.

So, what would be great is if we could configure a Google Tag Manager container ID at the PBI account level. Then, when reports get rendered, PBI would, behind the scenes, "drop in" the GTM container script code.

This would then allow us to set up custom tags/events in GTM at which point we could do anything - fire Google Analytics events, call custom code, etc.

Or, maybe even better yet, allow us to specify script code that would get added on any of our reports.
