Events and announcements: Power BI is turning 10: Power BI celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special live episode featuring behind-the-scenes stories, product evolution highlights, and a sneak peek at future developments. The celebration includes a live Q&A session, contests, and giveaways. The Microsoft Fabric Community Conference is back x2. Join us in Vienna and Atlanta: The Microsoft Fabric Community Conference returns for its third year. Events are in Vienna from September 15-18, 2025, and in Atlanta, Georgia, from March 16-20, 2026. Attendees can register for discounts using specific codes. General: Expanded data sharing with M365: Power BI improves integration with Microsoft 365 by sharing more detailed metadata, like chart titles and descriptive text, so users find reports and make data-driven decisions. PBIRS will consolidate on-premises reporting services from SQL Server 2025: Starting with SQL Server 2025, all on-premises reporting services unify under Power BI Report Server (PBIRS), which is the default solution for all paid SQL Server editions. Microsoft doesn't release new versions of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Copilot and AI: Improvements to standalone Copilot answers: Standalone Copilot prioritizes report data over model data to generate answers, so responses are more relevant. Copilot also applies filters to report responses, so answers to user queries are more specific. Limit Copilot search to prepped content: New admin settings let tenant and workspace admins limit Copilot search responses to items marked as "Prepped for use with AI." This feature helps reduce the risk of using outdated or irrelevant reports. Verified answers from Copilot search: Power BI's standalone Copilot provides human-curated common questions and visualizations, so users get accurate and relevant answers. AI data schema—updates (preview): The AI data schema capability in the "Get your data AI ready" preview now shows indicators for hidde |
