AccKnowledge by M3
Hi
Our company of 6 hotels uses a financial reporting software called AccKnowledge by M3
http://www.m3as.com/accounting/Would be great to see Microsoft Power BI connect to this
Right now we pull reports, export to Excel and then spend a lot of time reformatting the excel spreadsheet to a PowerPivot format
Thanks!

More options for authentication for automatic refresh
More options for supported authentication methods for automatic refreshes. Would be nice if all sources supported Windows authentication.

The relationships of all the tables in power query should stay when changing the database connection.
The relationships of all the tables in power query should stay when changing the database connection. Today, when I try to use existing workbook to connect to other azure db, as soon as I change the connection, all the relationships are gone. It took me half of day to rest all the connections since I have more than 50 DIM and FACT tables.

Have the visualization icons colored
As soon as we click the chart icon, we are presented with all possible visualizations possible.
If its colored we can locate them in a snap.
Grey icons causes fatigue

Add Serona as a data source
Add the Serona RaaS platform as a data source. This would allow some interesting mining of RaaS data.

Percentage with 3 digits (075% instead of 75%) on histogram 100% - release 2.38.4491.282 (august 2016)
I'm making a histogram 100% based on number of customers.
Percentage is automatically calculated by the visualization.
But this percantage is automatically based on 3 digits. I mean 75% is shown as 075%.
And impossible to change this format.
I've observed this new format from release 2.38.4491.282 (august 2016)

Access to Excel powerpivot model to be able to edit/modify model without rebuilding dashboard/reports
Need a page with my uploaded Excel models (or other data sources) where I can download, edit, and re-upload them and refresh the data behind them.
41 votesThanks for the suggestion Jeff. We want to enhance the model editing capabilities in the service itself so you won’t need to re-download and edit your Excel models!

Push and Pull Dashboard in IPAD App
Provide users the ability to refresh their Ipad Dashboards and developers the ability to push data refresh to the Ipad dashboards through managed dataset refresh or API dataset refresh
1 voteHi there. At present, the app refreshes on the following triggers –
• When the app goes from background to foreground (i.e. switch between apps).
• Manually (pull to refresh).Do you need it to refresh more regularly than that, or on other triggers?

numeric data can be on a gradient when it is set as color
Basically if you had data with a lot of discreet numbers, when you set it to be the color variable, set a gradient of red to green for example of lowest to highest, instead of random discreet colors for each value.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion Joseph. This is something we’ve wanted to add for some time, so your votes will help us prioritize!

Silverback Learning MilePost
Milepost is a data warehouse for k-12 school districts and would be a great data source to be able to create reports and dashboards from.

TurboTax
We will soon have a QuickBooks connector, why not TurboTax as well? Would be great to pull in TurboTax Data and build a dashboard similar to the QuickBooks one in progress to show income, deductions and expenditures, perhaps comparing income/taxes age/geo for your zip code (from public data). Why? This would be a great way to drive scaled awareness and adoption of Power BI.
2 votesGreat suggestion, and topical and this time of year! If anyone else thinks this would be a good connector, please add your votes!

Need the ability to configure size limits on the preview page. Large tables sometimes only show a few records.
In the PowerBI Designer data preview screen, it would be good to have an option to have more data in the preview window. Currently tables get limited and the records shown are sometimes not helpful in data exploration

Limits
A limit addition to bar and line graphs to show thresholds. Options could include a set limit, moving average, and an operating range.

When "numbers" change in dashboard, it must be fluid
when users play around, they see awesome animations w.r.t pie graphs, bar charts, line charts etc.
Can we do the same for the numbers (text object which depicts the summary value). for eg. when 9 changes to 15 it should not be abrupt. you should see the animation of changes from 9 to 15. that gives a good visual presence that numbers changed
3 votesThanks for the suggestion Abhishek! We could certainly add better animations – take a look at what happens when you type in the question box on your dashboard. When you get a number back it animates – we could do the same on the dashboard itself.
