Power-BI-September-Feature-Summary-2022

2. Full list of June Updates: • Reporting • Modeling • Data connectivity • Services • Visualizations

3. Reporting • Hierarchical axis by default • Improvements added this month include: • One of Power BI’s Cartesian charts’ more useful capabilities is the option to visualize multiple categorical fields in a hierarchical x-axis. • The grouped x-axis is an organized way to add an additional dimension to the data in your charts, especially when dealing with subcategories that are specific to individual category fields or sequential subcategories such as more granular dates. • A different form of visualizing these additional dimensions, like using a legend or small multiples, would not be nearly as clear as the hierarchical x-axis.

4. Reporting • Conditional formatting for data labels • Before this release, however, formatting a chart to use the hierarchical x-axis was a multi-step process involving. • Adding a new field to the X-axis field well and knowing to expand the visual down to the next level, or else nothing would change. • Turning off the concatenate labels option in the formatting pane, which would often still result in nothing happening because the user also had to sort the visual by the axis fields rather than by value fields, or else categories and subcategories would not be grouped properly.

5. Reporting

6. Reporting • Improved display name for summarized fields • To improve comprehension for end-users and new creators, we’ve updated the display name for summarized fields to include the default or selected aggregation: • Previously, default aggregates would be dropped from the display name, and this applies to all aggregates not just the “Sum” aggregate. We’ve received numerous feedback both from end-users and new creators that dropping the aggregate leads to users misinterpreting what aggregate is being applied if any.

7. Reporting Conditional formatting for data labels • Last month, we released an update to conditional formatting for data labels to have them apply to each individual data point rather than all of them together. • At the time, this improvement was limited to visuals without a field in the Legend field well. Now, we’ve brought that same behavior to those cases as well. • Since we’ve now improved this interaction, we’ve returned the conditional formatting button to the formatting pane for visuals with legend fields. Keep in mind that the conditional formatting rules for data labels that you’ve already set on current reports will still not be affected until you reapply the rule and publish the report again.

9. Modeling Translations support for Composite models on Power BI Datasets and Analysis Services • This month, we’re happy to announce that translations are now supported for composite models on Power BI datasets and Analysis Services. • Translations enable you to show the tables and columns in your dataset in the language the user prefers. Up until now, if the source had any translations defined, they would be ignored when building a composite model on Power BI datasets or an Analysis Services model. • Starting with this release, however, any translations defined in the source will be exposed in the composite model as well so the table and column names will be translated to the user’s language, the same as in the source datasets.

10. Data connectivity and preparation Dremio (Connector Update) • The Dremio connectors have been updated. Please find below notes from the Dremio team • This release contains a fix to provide more accurate error reporting when a connection error occurs. • It also contains a fix that prevents Dremio Software from displaying VDSs in reports in some cases. • Profisee (New Connector) • We are excited to announce the release of the new Profisee connector! Here are some notes from the Profisee team. • The Profisee Connector for Power BI makes it fast and easy to access clean, complete and accurate data to help organizations accelerate both operationalized BI and “ad hoc” analytics — even if they aren’t familiar with master data management (MDM) or the Profisee platform.

11. Service Cross-Tenant Dataset Sharing • Our new cross-tenant dataset sharing capability is now available in public preview! • This exciting capability allows customers to share their Power BI datasets with external users (consumers) in a way that allows these external users to access the datasets in their own Power BI tenant.  • This is in-place sharing, meaning that from their own tenant, consumers can discover and connect to live data from providers. • They can then work with these shared datasets in their own tenant and create composite models by meshing the shared datasets with their own internal data. • The composite model can then be published on the service for reporting purposes.

12. Service Auto-generate reports on existing datasets • You can now quickly create an automatically generated report off of the majority of datasets in the Power BI service. • This makes it easy for you to explore all the datasets you have access to and can be helpful for jumpstarting report creation in the Power BI service. • .

13. Service • On the Create page, if you select the ‘Pick a published dataset’ option, you’ll be able to pick if you want to auto-create a report or, through the split button, if you want to start from a blank report.

14. EmbeddedAnalytics Power BI component for Vue.js • We’re excited to announce that a new library is available for embedding Power BI content in Vue.js applications. • The new library makes it easy to embed Power BI content and leverage Power BI embedded capabilities such as bootstrapping and phased embedding for better performance, applying styles to the embedded component, setting event handlers, and more. • Power BI & Jupyter integration updates • The release of this feature is delayed till October 2022. • We’ve made some improvements to our Power BI integration in Jupyter notebooks, making it even easier for you to embedded Power BI reports in your Jupyter notebooks.

15. Visualizations • New visuals in AppSource • The following are new visuals this update: • Calendar by Datanau • SuperTables by Apps for Power BI • Selection Slicer by Walnut Innovation • Shielded HTML Viewer by Nova Silva • All HTML rendered through the Shielded HTML Viewer is sanitized to keep your data safe. • The first HTML Viewer Certified by Microsoft now is part of the first Visuals you can buy and manage directly through Microsoft.

16. Visualizations Obviously, this makes the purchase and management of licenses easier. Here are some of the main advantages: • Obtain fine grained control of the assignment of licenses. • (Re)assign each license to a user or group of users whenever you require. • Purchase a license for a single month or a whole year. • Make use of the optional auto-renewal feature. • No longer need to enter (or update) a license key. You manage your visual licenses like you manage any other Microsoft license. To Know More : https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-september-2022-feature-summary/
