I would like to understand how power BI Apps is handling modification for users
Actually my reports are shared in apps with many other users and need to make sure that if i modify any slicer for example : zooming on a specific area , does it impact other user's view ?
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate you time and effort
It's the same as when you pin the 'whole' report into a dashboard. You will change the view (filtering, zooming, etc) in the report but the dashboard will be displayed in the original (unfiltered, unzoomed) view.

When going through DAX overview documentation on the following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/dax-overview,
under the Calculated Column heading, I couldn't understand the highlighted information in the following statement:
"(calculated) Column values are only recalculated if the table or any related table is processed (refresh) or the model is unloaded from memory and then reloaded, like when closing and reopening a Power BI Desktop file."
Does it mean, that whenever we close the Power BI Desktop file, the model is unloaded from memory? does the memory is used like Cache?
Would anyone please help me understand what actually happens in practical world? Thank you for giving your valuable time and support!
The main point of this remark is to distinguish the difference between measures and calculated columns since the distinction is often not clear to report builders.
A measure is dynamically calculated on-demand when the end-user interacts with the report via slicers or any other sort of filtering and interaction.
A calculated column is only calculated when the model is refreshed. As a result, calculated columns cannot be dynamically responsive to the end-user since they have already been computed before the user can interact with the report.
Power BI Desktop is excel on steraloids. It is an application and as with every application when you close it, it unloads from memory. Its great and you can do a lot..
It has the option to refresh (a button) when you press it, it recalculates your calculated columns.
If you want dashboards and reports served, to be shown in other (web) applications. You want to go with Power BI server. It runs in the cloud and you can refresh the data (daily, on the hour or direct) you can set this all up scheduled in the admin tools.
It is logical that only on a refresh, your calculated columns get recalculated. Only in this moment of time your raw data is changing what will have effect on your calculated columns.
I am working on the reporting project that uses PowerBI as the data visualization tool.
I need create a processing approval workflow on the PowerBI tool. After seeing the Dashboard, the employer can approve some exception cases and the workflow can direct connect with email or ticket system.
There are 2 cases:
Approve for the whole dashboard that supports to be easy. I don't have any problem here.
Approve for singular object/row in a table chart. So I must generate number of buttons according to the number of row, which I need help. I don't know how to generate dynamic number of buttons and attached to row. And how to program/code it to create a view or action to become an approval step.
Button PowerBI
In this screenshot, my plan is create buttons in each row and each button has the same function with parameter is username or IP. And after that I can send email to the user and notice him/her that his/her case is approve for exception.
I find this https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/A-simple-and-fun-guide-to-Microsoft-Flow-and-Power-BI/ba-p/151530. But it doesn't seem helpful. Anyone here has ever dealt with approval case like this.
Is PowerBI able to do the approval process like I want?
Thank you so much.
First: This kind of goes against the spirit of BI in general. BI is for data visualization, exploration, etc. It's not really a UI for inserting data and executing tasks. Maybe you want instead to have a front end that lets you do things, and only needs to handle a very limited dataset? PowerApps is good for that. If the dataset is less than 1000 rows, this could work.
Second: I'm pretty sure it's not possible to create a button (like one that you'd see in an HTML page) that does what you want it to do in a Power BI table visual.
Third: There is a "drill through" button capability, but this just lets you navigate from one area in the report to another, not send an email or execute a Power Automate flow or anything like that. You may have seen a button on a table visual, but it's misleading. It's not really programmable like an HTML/JS button on a website.

That said, within the last 1.5 years or so, we now have the PowerApps add-in available. You could create an app that utilizes your streaming dataset, create a gallery that looks at that dataset and creates a kind of table with buttons on it, and then each button is set to execute the flow you've created in Power Automate.

All of this is very, extremely straightforward, but beware, the PowerApp will start to cost you extra money depending on where your data is housed. If it's a SQL server, you'll need both a premium PowerApp license and Power Automate license too.
Sorry for the not so great news, but this is kind of a limitation of Power BI.
I am looking for an approach to blurr the visuals in power bi report.
Please can someone suggest how can we implement below functionalities
in Power BI Reports.
When the report load for the first time, some of the visuals should be in Blurr state until user click on the page.
If not required, need to blurr the visuals again.
Perhaps you can make a large shape and put it to the background. Add an action to the shape with bookmarks.
Create shapes over your visuals with a little of transparancy and in the bookmark make them dissapear.
When a user then clicks on the page the bookmark is triggered to unhide the shapes over the visuals.
Quite some work, but it will do what you want.
I'm pretty new to Power BI.
I have a number of measures I've created in my Power BI app, data related to information requests that come to my team.
I've put these measures into a Bar Chart. I also have a table that lists details about these data requests. I want to be able to select an item in the Bar Graph and have the records in the Table to adjust to just those related to the selection.
I did this once by accident when i was fiddling around, now I can't figure out how i did it.
I also have a date filter set to affect all of my pages.
Any advice would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

Try going to Model (highlighted in the screenshot, left side) and then Manage Relationships (highlighted as well). Then click on Autodetect. If Autodetect does not solve your problem, then you will have to create new relationships manually.
Is there a way to hide a tab based on role level security?
I have been able to lock the dataset but the tab is still visible.
The users who are not allocated access to the dataset are asking why there is no data. It would be great to hide the tab completely.
I am designing in power desktop and publishing the reports for the users to view on the BI service premium capacity.
Would greatly appreciate your help. Thanking in advance.
Row Level Security only applies to the data, being shown, it cannot show or hide tabs based on the users. Both the Power BI Service and Power BI Premium, can't show hide the tabs based on any user verification methods. I would have a look at creating an App, that way you should be able to hide the data bar on the right, and they will only get the filters options
Hope that helps
