1. Power BI should allow users to rename the sub total/grand total names.

This ability can provide the end users to understand at a glance what the total actually represnts rather than looking into other details.

1. Matrix/table visuals should be flexible enough to move the totals to beginning or end of the values section.

This helps in most cases where the end users want a "Total and breakdown" kind of structure, like for example, totals by Fiscal year in the beginning and break down by quarter

It would be very handy to be able to select and edit the measure in formula row in the Table Model view. You often need to see all the relationships in place when authoring more sophisticated measures.

The MSI installer supports command line switches such as silent install (eg msiexec.exe ... /passive ACCEPT_EULA=1).

With the announced end-of-life of the MSI, the only option is to use the EXE installer that doesn't currently support options. Installation thus is user interactive unless re-packaged.

Please supply an installer that can work silently.

In the visualization pane in Power BI desktop, when you select a qualitative field to be Count of field, the name says "Count of [field]". When you select Count (Distinct), the name still says "Count of [field]".

This can make it difficult to catch a reversion/change to the selection. It can also cause new developers on a report to make assumptions about the data unless they check the dropdown on every field in every visual.

Can we have the Viz Pane display "Distinct Count of [field]" when Count(Distinct) is selected so that the selection is explicitly stated and easily understandable?

It would be great to conditional format a table and/or a matrix based on the cell text, not only numbers

mimic functionality that exists in PowerPoint. This will allow a change of a picture within PowerBI Desktop and maintain all attributes (including selection and bookmark settings) of existing picture/image.

I have embedded instructional manual as a picture on each page of a dashboard and whenever there is a change to the manual I have to change out the picture which requires a ton of changes to the bookmarks and selection panes.

In a Power BI report, hide or show certain pages based on the logged in user.

Maybe use user roles.

This makes it possible to use the same report for several profiles.

When value is added to Filters pane, Power BI automatically displays count of rows for each value. Please allow hiding this count or adding customized count.

Please add tooltips to the fabulous decomp tree visual.

For example, I have a chart that shows a measure of cycle time. THe decomp visual does a great job at allowing the users to drill into what's driving that number, but often times there maybe a very low volume item that is significantly driving the measure. I don't care if a product has a really long cycle time if it's not material in the overall calculation.

Specifically, looking at median measures. I need to understand the volume of each item. An easy way to do this is via a tooltip.

Currently you can merge two groups of items on the canvas, but you can't add/remove items that aren't already grouped from a current group.

If I group say 10 items, and later want to add another single item, I currently have to ungroup, then regroup. I would like to select an item and the group I want it in, and click "Add to Group".

I would like the ability to temporarily disable the calculation of measures in PowerBI Desktop, something like the manual calculation option in Excel. I have large data models with dozens of measures each, and when I create a new measure it takes a long time to do. The more measures I add, the longer it takes.

I would like to see a feature that would enable me as a developer to add a definition to column headers in tables and matrixs so users can get a description of the column and how it is calculated.

This would work best from a users perspective by a pop-up/tooltip appearing when hovering over the column header only.

How about the desktop app has an option to enable automatic updating each month rather than manually downloading monthly?

The (preview) feature "Automatic page refresh" for DirectQuery in PBI Desktop is really great.

Please implement this feature for live connections to datasets in the PBI Service aswell.

Please add the Save button back to the title bar or the Home menu...why would you go from an easy 1 click save to forcing me to click twice.

I really don't get why it was removed from the title bar.....Save, Undo, Redo are in the title bars of Excel, Word, PowerPoint....I thought this was supposed to be more like Office?

Similar to the other Microsoft products, it'd be great if we could click and drag the mouse to select multiple object on a page. Then, once multiple are selected, allow us to nudge them with the arrow keys all at the same time. Right now, we have to click one at a time and nudge one at a time. Oftentimes, I have many items I've already spent time aligning and then I need to nudge them and I have to do it one at a time.
