Power BI Weekly

Issue #133 - 16th November 2021

This week we've been given the Power BI November 2021 Feature Summary, where the main announcement (which might seem insignificant on the surface, but is actually a huge feature improvement) is the New Format Pane (Preview). With this update: the pesky double scrollbars are gone, there's a clear separation between generic and visual specific settings, there's now a global "revert all settings to default" button (particularly useful when applying a new theme to an existing report), and many other improvements. Other features in the feature summary include Page and Bookmark navigators (to speed up custom navs you may currently create while telling your data stories) and loads of data connectivity improvements (including a new Azure Synapse connector and a Google Sheets connector). Exciting stuff! Elsewhere, we've been told about the availability to connect to Snowflake and Azure Databricks via VNet data gateways, enabling a more desirable way (arguably) to connect to network restricted instances of those services.
