  • Power BI is not the friend of sales reps

    It doesn’t update in a timely fashion, 2 days until the end of 1/4 it throws our random figures. For the past 18 months this app has either been delayed or given false figure causing stress to a large work force. Completely awful if you need to track live data. P.s 12pm GMT is the cut off to hit targets to go onto the following day. You can end up losing your bonus because their feed is so slow.

  • Slideshow function

    Would be better to have the slide show function

  • App doesn’t capture data

    I’m unsure why the iPad app doesn’t reflect the settings or data I load into the desktop version of Power BI and subsequently uploaded to the web. For example, the iPad app doesn’t capture the filter settings I have (single select vs. multi select) and omits items in that filter. The desktop version behaves/responds as intended. This is a disappointment.

  • Slicer header not working

    Recently, the clear/erase option on slicer headers have stopped appearing. It used to be that you could click on the slicer header and the eraser would appear, but that is no longer the case.

  • Navigation and card issue

    It’s very easy to view reports in the app and the performance speed is much faster, however it’s difficult to navigate.
    If I open a report and manipulate the filters multiple times, I have to keep pressing on the arrow in top left corner to go back to the list of my reports - is there a faster way? If there is, it’s not easy to find - not user friendly.
    Also, when looking at the report in horizontal way I cannot exit the app easily by swiping up from the bottom of my screen (I have an iPhone 11 and I exit all of my apps this way). What happens when I swipe from the bottom up is that the screen saver shows up positioned horizontally. There is no way to exit that - unless I turn off my phone.

    Also, one of my measures has spacing between values (using “ “&), the spacing is preserved when I first open the report but it’s not when I go back to that page from a different page.

  • Integration assez faible avec iPad

    Assez peu fluide quand on veut utiliser le pencil pour faire des commentaires. Tjs devoir passer en mode edition pour cela.

  • On iPad, not fit for purpose. Text too small to read, diagrams too small, maps too small.

    Ah Microsoft. The bigger the company gets, the dumber they get. Some departments good (Xbox, games for windows), some development departments staffed by clowns (office 365, power BI)

    Power BI is essentially useless on iPad. The text, diagrams and maps have tiny text, the maps only take up two thirds of the screen in portrait mode (what the? Guess devs are retards).... basically forget using it on iPad, you will strain to actually read anything. Menus are the SAME as the desktop/browser version, meaning tiny toggle arrows to click.

    Just spare a thought for folk who are trying it out on an IPHONE. you must need a magnifying glass to see that.

    Microsoft has for years an Achilles heel. They can’t leave anything alone once it reaches the pinnacle of design or usability. Power BI isn’t even anywhere near that stage yet, it’s still hot garbage on mobile devices. Otherwise, anything else you use software wise by MS, block or turn off updates if you like a program or application the way it is.... MS loooove fixing things that ain’t broken, they love to fiddle and twiddle, move buttons around, change the names of things, hide things, remove long loved features etc...

    Remember the office ribbon debacle in office 2007 when office 2003 file edit etc menus worked fine for decades? It’s still overly clunky, complex, too many buttons, confusing and still despised.

    Remember office groove? Then office Lync. No wait it’s called Skype for business. Groove was also windows 10 media player at one point. Now we have teams. Give it another 20 name changes and almost anything useful button wise turned into vague symbols you have to guess, and Microsoft should be at peak stupidity.

    For a company that makes such a cool line of consoles and games, (XBOX), competent hardware like mice/keyboards the rest of the company seem hell bent on changing things just to satisfy their own whims.

  • BI for iPhone

    Power BI works better on the iPhone than any other platform I have ever used.

  • Not usable on a phone

    The reports that my org uses are impossible to use on a phone. Everything is tiny, menus don’t drop down, selections are impossible to make. Pointless really
