Here is my selection of noteworthy highlights from Microsoft Power BI June 2021 Feature Summary.
Reporting
- Paginated reports visual preview is here
- You can now see the entire report published in service as a visual in Power BI
- To sum it all up if it uses the same PBI dataset, we will also get full interactivity just like any other visual
- Inner padding for continuous axes
- A much-needed feature when you have too much data to plot. (Although you should avoid visual overload and plot limited data, but clients :P)
- Conditional Formatting to Small Multiples Visual
Modelling
- “Select all” for Dynamic M Query Parameters
- Last year in October, PBI released Dynamic M Query Parameters which gave report viewers the ability to control data flow and get better query performance
- The problem that they faced is when selecting All values, one had to select all items manually, this feature addresses that issue
Data Connectivity
- Snowflake Connector gets Custom Query
- I usually do not cover this area, but this is too huge.
- We can now write custom SQL queries and pull the data we want just like we did for SQL Server or for any of the other DB options
