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 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.
