This week we've been given a few nice announcements - firstly, we've been told about the Dataset Refresh History Enhancements, giving us more useful information about our refreshes in an easier-to-consume manner. We've also been given a Heads up: Power BI OneDrive and SharePoint report viewing will be on by default starting in October. I, for one, think this is a great feature - giving people the flexibility of viewing reports in the app they currently find themselves within (which oftentimes is SharePoint). Next, and probably irrelevant for many of you, there is now support for Azure Active Directory shared device mode (preview) for Power BI Mobile apps, which, if your work phone is only temporarily taken from a pool of shared phones before you hand it back, allows you to sign-in and sign-out of all supported AAD apps in one fell swoop. The Power BI Mobile app is now one of those supported apps.

Elsewhere this week, we've been told that there's now support for calculation groups for Direct Lake datasets, and, more generally, we've been given the Microsoft Fabric August 2023 update, which doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know on the Power BI side (but does give us insights into the developments for the other aspects of Fabric!)
