\ud83d\ude80 Microsoft continues to advance Power BI <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft continues to push Power BI<\/strong> with more AI integration, improved modelling, and new management and visualisation capabilities. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udd11 These are the key developments in September 2025:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd16 Copilot & AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Copilot in SharePoint Online embedded reports<\/strong>allows you to ask questions in natural language, generate summaries and explore data without leaving SharePoint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Automatic measurement descriptions (GA)<\/strong>Power BI automatically documents model measurements, making it easy for non-technical users to understand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Filtered report summaries (Preview)<\/strong>Copilot standalone now offers filtered summaries for more precise questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Automatic workspace selection and Explorations in workspaces Pro<\/strong>: improves the saving and organising experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Improved search with Copilot<\/strong>adds automatic descriptions and prioritises \"AI-ready\" datasets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • New \"Prep data for AI\" function<\/strong>In the near future, the Power BI service will enable semantic models to be prepared for use with AI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Automatic rollout of Copilot standalone<\/strong>: since September, activated by default on all tenants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udcca Reporting and visualisation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Simplification of the PBIP format for Live Connect<\/strong>optimises file handling on live connections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • New visuals and improvements<\/strong>: updates to ZoomCharts, download button on certain visuals, user experience improvements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Enhanced DAX Time Intelligence (Preview)<\/strong>supports fiscal calendars and calculations based on weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\uddc2 Data modelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The management and construction of data models in Power BI gets a major boost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Editing semantic models in the Power BI service<\/strong>The new system: it is no longer necessary to go through Desktop to make basic changes to models, which speeds up collaboration and facilitates centralised management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • TMDL View (Tabular Model Definition Language)<\/strong> available in GA: allows semantic models to be viewed and edited in a declarative format, improving transparency, traceability and the ability to apply version control in corporate BI environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Downloading PBIX for modified models via XMLA<\/strong>It is now possible to download PBIX files even if changes have been made via XMLA endpoints, facilitating the migration and reuse of complex models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Mixed Import (Import + Direct Lake)<\/strong> on Desktop and web: it combines the best of both worlds, the immediacy of import with the performance of Direct Lake, offering more flexibility to data teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The administration and mobile experience is also strengthened:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • NFC tags support in Power BI Mobile<\/strong>NFC: allows you to launch reports or dashboards by scanning NFC tags, which is very useful in industrial environments, retail or field audits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • New tenant setting for \"Set alert\" button<\/strong>The following options are available: Administrators can control whether users see this option, strengthening governance and avoiding unmanaged alerts in critical environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Content shared in Teams in a separate window<\/strong>Improves productivity and visualisation by opening dashboards without interfering with the workflow in Teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Better integration with Microsoft 365<\/strong>M365: links to M365 are strengthened, with greater visibility in corporate search and easier metadata sharing and collaboration in hybrid environments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Automatic rollout of Copilot standalone<\/strong> (again impacting governance): it forces IT teams to review configurations, permissions and user training for secure and controlled adoption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          • Optimising corporate BI<\/strong>DAX, Performance Analyzer on the web and Task Flows accelerate data analysis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Better performance in hybrid scenarios<\/strong>Direct Lake, Databricks and Simplified PBIP enhancements support modern architectures with large data volumes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Necessary adaptation<\/strong>Review the use of Bing Maps and plan the migration to Azure Maps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            \u27a1\ufe0f Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Developments in September 2025 confirm that Power BI consolidates its position as the benchmark platform in Business Intelligence<\/strong>increasingly combining artificial intelligence, modelling flexibility and corporate control<\/strong>. For businesses, this means a more powerful, accessible and governed environment, enabling them to make the best strategic decisions, based on data analysis, more effectively and securely every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            These improvements offer new opportunities to optimise corporate BI<\/strong>From reducing user friction with Copilot, to strengthening governance with TMDLs and tenant settings. It is the ideal time to review your models and train your teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
