In order:
1. Application lifecyle management (i.e. deployment pipeline). Proper development processes for Power BI have been difficult to achieve.
2. Pro extensibility (i.e. 3rd party advanced tool integration). Seriously, this is going to be so good.
3. Composite models over Power BI and Azure Analysis Services datasets. No, I don't want your Book1.xlsx Sheet7 in my enterprise model. Yes, you can add it on the side if you so wish.

Being an old support guy, I am surprised you weren't more excited about the concept of Power BI Service logs being able to be pulled into Azure Log Analytics. Christian blazed past it but I am chomping at the bit for that one.

I waited 5 years for that lasso... THANKS

[DarkOrint]

Lasso is a feature we need in our lives. Wonder if it will work we with things that aren't considered visualisations like shapes. Time will tell.

Relative time slicer is something that has been lacking since I first learned about Power BI. I hope this means more time related changes are coming. Maybe even a change from "Time Intelligence" to "Date Intelligence" since that is what is really is. And then introduce actual 'Time intelligence'

[ManpreetSingh-rcyp]

Awesome update and awesome jobs guys. Well done!

[HavensConsulting]

Lasso select for sure, at least from the developer perspective. 🙂

Question: Why can I not upload a report, done with the June 2020 Version of PBI Desktop to the PBI Report Server (Version May 2020) ?

[tusharpardeshi]

Do we have an update on Column Level Security in Power BI? Would like to hide or mask some columns for some specific roles\users.

[Rajamanikandan]

Is there any tool/best practices to migrate Power BI Report Server reports(.pbix) to Power BI service workspaces.

One by one report deployment from PBI desktop to PBI service is the only option?

Got some reference to migrate .rdl to Power BI service, but not for PBIRS (.pbix) to PBI service.

Is there any way to enable the personalization for Power BI Embedded? I don't see anything mentioned specifically in the blog posts.

Where do you get these amazing shirts?

Can I drill down grouped rows in Power BI, just like I do in Excel pivot table, by double clicking subtotals ?

[amadiftikhar]

Any Luck on Power BI Map Visualizations Improvements?
