As you probably know, the Power BI service is updated weekly with fixes, updates, and new features. When we release major features in the service, we always to make sure to release a coinciding blog post, so you can stay up-to-date with the latest features in the service. Going forward, in addition to these posts for individual features, we’ll be posting monthly feature summaries for the Power BI service, similar to the posts you know and love for Power BI Desktop. So, without further ado, here’s the complete list of January updates in the Power BI service:

It’s fast, robust, inexpensive and, like all solution templates, you can customize and extend it yourself. If you’re a Power BI partner, there is no better or faster way to show your customers how they can use Power BI on Salesforce. If you’re a customer, there is no easier way to get a scalable and robust end-to-end solution on Salesforce.
