User experiences for Q&A in reports

Incremental refresh!

Query acceleration for large datasets (Public Preview)

More!

• Smart Alerts. Receive automatic alerts when there are important changes to data. A library of pre-built algorithms automatically runs to determine the best insights for users, and automatically delivers alerts to them. The alerts have additional controls that allow customizing the alerts.

• Slideshow. Cycle through multiple pages in full-screen mode, which is ideal for displays in operations centers, shared spaces, or hallways.

• Translations. Power BI users see dataset fields in their client locale or language when translations are defined in the dataset or Analysis Services model.

• Aggregations over DirectQuery. Users can create DirectQuery models over any size data in sources, such as Spark and Azure SQL Data Warehouse, and then accelerate common queries by building in-memory aggregations over some of the data. Common queries use the aggregated cache to return results in a fraction of a second instead of directly querying the source. Users can create datasets of massive size and still provide interactive querying.

• Subscribe other users for email. Set up email subscriptions for other users so they all receive relevant information. As part of subscribe others, users can customize a subject line and additional text for the email.

Pin from apps to dashboard

Data source setup improvements

Power BI Premium

• Report snapshots. More subscription options to process and deliver email subscriptions.

• SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports. Publish SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports (*.RDL format) to a Power BI Premium workspace, and view reports within the Power BI web app. No SSRS server is required.

• XMLA connectivity and API parity with Analysis Services. With this new capability, you can treat Power BI workspaces as if they were Analysis Services servers. You’re able to connect the same tools to Power BI premium that are currently used with Analysis Services.
