Season’s greetings, Power BI Community! As we wrap up an incredible year, the Microsoft Power BI team is taking a break for December. All planned updates will roll out in January including the next Power BI Desktop release. As we approach another year of innovation, let us take a moment to reflect on some key highlights from 2024.
Read moreWe’re excited to announce that we’ve reached the final milestone in our dataset scale-out public preview journey! We started the preview without auto-sync and with single read-only replica per dataset. A few months ago, we introduced auto-sync, and now Power BI can create as many read-only replicas as your Power BI capacity supports. Dataset scale-out is no longer limited to a single read-only replica per dataset.

» Read moreWe are thrilled to announce that we have made some significant performance improvements to the XMLA-endpoint communication in Power BI. Specifically, we have switched XMLA-based communication from plain text XML to binary XML and enabled compression for the .NET client libraries. Make sure you upgrade to version 19.61.1.4 or later to benefit from this improvement.

This is a can’t-miss opportunity to gain hands-on knowledge directly from Microsoft leaders and community experts!
» Read morePower BI Mobile apps introduce a new feature that allows users (and admins) to configure an item to display whenever they launch the app, instead of the app home page. Launch item can save time and enhance user experience by taking them directly to the most important or relevant content, such as a report, a dashboard, a scorecard, or an app.

» Read moreWe are excited to announce that we have finalized Dataset Scale-Out configuration APIs and completed the replica synchronization feature. Specifically, you no longer need to enable Scale-Out at the workspace level by using a burdensome XMLA request. The XMLA command is deprecated and will no longer work. You can now enable Scale-Out on a dataset-by-dataset basis using the Power BI REST API for datasets. You also no longer need to synchronize read-only replicas manually if you want to take advantage of automatic replica synchronization. Automatic replica synchronization is enabled by default. However, it is also possible to disable automatic synchronization to synchronize the read/write and read-only replicas of a dataset manually for controlled refresh isolation.
