Fix stability issues with Report Builder
Buggy behaviors in RB make users give up (especially less-technical business users who this tool was designed for). The rest of us just get angry. These include: - Sometimes (inconsistently), pressing Enter will close the expression window and other time is adds a carriage return. - VB functi...
Improvements needed to the DAX editor in SSAS Tabular
Many developers abandon SSAS Tabular (after their companies pay for enterprise licensing to get it) because of the development experience and they reason that if the development experience is poor that the product may be just as unreliable. The model designer has many problems and quirky behavio...
Add JavaScript libraries to SSRS HTML rendering
Add dynamic actions and effects to reports to make them more interactive. There are several great examples of after-market products and projects that demonstrate what could be accomplished by adding JavaScript support to SSRS rendering, such as d3js.org. I think this is what many users consider...
Improve parameter passing in SSRS
Parameters are the key to building interactive reporting solutions but complex report designs can become difficult to maintain. Let's say that I have ten items on a dashboard style report that pass all the parameters back to the same report (which is necessary to maintain the state of previously...
Drill-through, actions & parameter passing - just make it work

Remove header space above textbox
The header or handle above a textbox should not take up extra vertical space like every visual. This extra vertical space makes it difficult to use textboxes as labels throughout the page. Consider a report page with a lot of visuals that have been meticulously positioned and aligned along with...
Ribbon/Toolbar Control to Change Font SIze
Changing the font size for any selected visual should be quick and easy. Please give us a spin button control on the ribbon to change the text size for whatever visual is selected. When designing, presenting, training report design in Desktop or editing a reporting the service, fishing through ...
Display Processing & Publishing duration
This would be an easy feature addition that would make a lot of people happy. I always want to know how long it takes to process a table or data model and how long it takes to publish a report file to the service. Especially with large datasets, I make note of the time, step away and then it's ...
Power BI Desktop for PBRS & Service - Set default app and different splash screen
With both Power BI Desktop for PBRS and for the PBI service installed, it is difficult and confusing to manage PBIX files for each destination. Changing the icons for each was a good start but we need to be able to: 1) easily change the default application association for .PBIX files 2) see an ob...
