Power BI December 2020 Feature Summary
The last update of 2020 is here! We know you are excited for this update, like a kid excited to open their presents. This update is our holiday present to you!
So what is in the box? Well, first of all, not one, but two long-awaited features are now available in preview: Small multiples and DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services. We know the wait has been long, but the time is finally here to start using these features.
But wait, there are more gifts to unpack!
What about data protection sensitivity labels making their appearance in Power BI Desktop? Or a new Home List experience in the Service? Want to set a custom publish message? You got it. Dark mode support for our Android app? Done.
To top it off there are a couple of new visuals and template apps this month and updates in the data preparation, data connectivity, developers and embedded space. We even have a couple of pointers to what is coming soon.
Enough to keep you busy during the holidays. Speaking of which, due to the holidays, there will be no release in January. We wish you all safe and happy holidays as we close off 2020. We thank you for being part of our community this year and are looking forward to seeing you in 2021!
