General
| Feature | Description | Currently in preview |
|---|---|---|
| New behavior for downloading .pbix from semantic model in Power BI Service | When downloading a .pbix file from a semantic model, users now get an empty report with the dataset only. To download the report with the dataset, go to the report in the Power BI Service. This change addresses inconsistent report results from semantic model downloading. | |
| Deprecation of old file picker experience in Power BI Desktop | Starting in October, users with Power BI Desktop versions from March 2026 or earlier will no longer be able to save and share files to OneDrive and SharePoint. Update Power BI Desktop to keep using this functionality. |
Reporting
| Feature | Description | Currently in preview |
|---|---|---|
| Update your report defaults and use color palettes with modern visual defaults (Preview) | Modern Visual Defaults now includes a Customize current theme experience in the Format pane. Adjust report-wide defaults for visuals, choose color palettes, and control visual elements like background, border, header icons, tooltips, and shadow across your entire report. Update page size, background color, and wallpaper across all pages at once. When finished, export your custom theme for use in other reports or add it to organizational themes. For more information, see Visual defaults in Power BI reports. | ✔️ |
| Conditional formatting for line charts and legends (Generally Available) | Conditional formatting now extends to line charts and visuals with legends, including bar charts, column charts, pie charts, donut charts, and line charts. Format line colors using a gradient based on total value or category, or ensure consistent colors across your report using a single DAX measure. For more information, see Conditional formatting in Power BI visuals. | |
| Report page tab navigation improvements (Generally Available) | When dragging a page tab to reorder it, tabs continue to scroll until you reach the desired position, making it easier to move pages from the end to the beginning of your report. Arrow buttons for paging through tabs are more precise, ensuring you see each report page tab as you navigate. For more information, see Report view in Power BI Desktop. | |
| Simplified title spacing for visuals | Title spacing now uses a consistent "space above" approach for subtitle, divider, and plot area, instead of the previous "space below" settings. Existing reports and themes automatically adjust without appearance changes. For more information, see Customize visualization titles in Power BI reports. | |
| Visuals calculations LOOKUP function now supports INFERRED mode | The LOOKUP function in visual calculations now accepts an optional AssociatedColumnsBehavior parameter with EXPLICIT (default) and INFERRED values. When using INFERRED, the engine automatically identifies which axis columns are functionally determined by the coordinates you supply and fills them in before evaluating the lookup. For more information, see Using visual calculations. | |
| Org apps with audiences (Generally Available) | App creators can deliver different content experiences to different groups of users within the same app, making it easier to personalize content while managing a single app experience. For more information, see Get started with org apps. | |
| Bookmarks support for reports in org apps | Users can access both report bookmarks created by authors and personal bookmarks when viewing interactive reports in org apps, making it easy to return to saved report views with filters, selections, and visual state. For more information, see Bookmarks in the Power BI service. | |
| Storytelling support for reports and visuals in org apps | Reports in org apps now support Storytelling in PowerPoint, allowing users to add live report pages and visuals from org app content into PowerPoint presentations. For more information, see Add live Power BI data to PowerPoint. | |
| CRUD APIs for org apps and audiences | Developers and administrators can programmatically manage org apps and audiences using Microsoft Fabric REST APIs. New APIs support create, read, update, delete, and list operations for both org app items and audience items. | |
| CRUD APIs for paginated reports | Paginated reports can now be managed through Microsoft Fabric REST APIs. New support for create, read, update, delete, and list operations enables developers and administrators to automate report lifecycle management and deployment workflows. |
Modeling
| Feature | Description | Currently in preview |
|---|---|---|
| Measure descriptions with triple-slash comments | Add measure descriptions using /// comment lines directly above your MEASURE definition in DAX query view, using the same syntax TMDL supports. Select Update model with changes and the description is written into the model. Descriptions appear in tooltips in DAX query view, Model Explorer, and the Data pane. For more information, see Work with DAX query view in Power BI. |
|
| Model Options now available in Power BI Service | The Model options dialog is now available directly in web modeling, providing control over type detection, relationships, time intelligence, parallel loading, locale settings, DirectQuery connections, and maximum connections per data source. For more information, see Model options in the Power BI Service. | |
| Semantic model settings pane becomes the default (Preview) | Starting in August, semantic model settings open in the new settings pane instead of the full settings page. The pane opens beside your content, so you can update refresh schedules, credentials, and other options without leaving your workspace. For more information, see Edit semantic models in the Power BI Service. | ✔️ |
| TMDL View on the web | Developers can script, modify, and apply changes to model objects directly in a code editor using Tabular Model Definition Language without switching to Desktop or downloading model files. Provides code-level visibility into semantic model metadata for bulk edits, automation, and reusable definitions. For more information, see Use Tabular Model Definition Language view in Power BI Desktop. |
Mobile
| Feature | Description | Currently in preview |
|---|---|---|
| Org app audiences are now in mobile apps | Org app audiences in the Power BI mobile app extend a tailored org app experience to users on iOS and Android. Mobile and tablet users can open an org app and see content based on their assigned audience, delivering the right content to the right people on smaller screens. For more information, see View org apps in the Power BI mobile apps. |
Embedded analytics
| Feature | Description | Currently in preview |
|---|---|---|
| Enhancements to Power BI embedding in SharePoint Online | A new UI lets you directly select the workspace you want to embed in SharePoint instead of copying and pasting the full URL. You can now embed a visual by selecting the Embed a single visual toggle. For more information, see Add a Power BI report to SharePoint Online. |
Visualizations
| Feature | Description | Currently in preview |
|---|---|---|
| Third-party custom visuals | Browse hundreds of custom visuals in AppSource, available directly from Power BI Desktop, or develop your own. Publish to AppSource or share across your organization. |
