Yesterday, Microsoft unveiled a new Tabular Model Definition Language (TMDL) for Power BI to help provide a more streamlined and human readable way to process model metadata extracted through the data analytics service. Today, the Redmond firm has unveiled the feature summary for this month for Power BI Desktop.
For starters, the desktop variant of the data analytics platform is now fully supported on Windows 365, as well as on Azure Virtual Desktop. There is also an update for the opt-in On-object interaction feature that was released for the reporting module last month. Alongside that, the aforementioned module has received a new tooltip autoscale report setting, that allows tooltips to scale based on canvas sizes.
With respect to already available features going into general availability, composite models on Power BI Datasets and Analysis Services (formerly known as DirectQuery) is receiving that treatment this time around. The capability is hitting GA for Premium, PPU, and Pro workspaces.
