Power BI connector 3.0.0 is here

New Features

Coloring

Coloring functionality is back and better than ever! We've addressed the major issues from previous versions and restored full coloring capabilities to help you visualize your data exactly how you need it.

Hide Speckle branding

By popular demand, Business plan users can now hide the Speckle logo from their visuals, giving you complete control over your dashboard's branding and appearance. Learn more about the Business Plan.

Full screen mode

Hide the top bar and sidebar buttons for a clean visual.

Conditional formatting

One of the most missed features from our legacy Power BI connector is back in this Next-Gen (current default) connector version! Conditional formatting is now fully restored, allowing you to create dynamic, data-driven visualizations.

Ghost mode

You can now toggle between completely hiding filtered elements or showing them in a subtle ghosted view. It's perfect when you want to keep context but highlight specific stuff.

Perspective vs isometric toggle

You can now switch between perspective and isometric projections with a single click.

Update notifications

Never miss a connector update again! When a new Power BI connector version is available, you'll see a convenient “Update” button right in the visual interface, ensuring you always have access to the latest features and improvements.

Critical fixes

Loading issues resolved

We've solved the frustrating "loading forever" problem that some users experienced. This issue occurred when:

• Incorrect fields were connected (e.g., connecting Object IDs to Version Object ID inputs)
• Deleting and re-adding visuals on saved files where model data was not loaded previously

The connector now displays helpful banners when data expectations aren't met, making troubleshooting much easier.

Model federation improvements

We've squashed several bugs related to model federation, ensuring smoother operation across complex data scenarios.

Tooltip data display

Fixed an issue where tooltips weren't showing linked data. Tooltips now properly display all relevant information.

What's next

Advanced coloring controls

We’re taking coloring further! Our next focus is enabling color customization and sorting controls, giving you even more flexibility in how you present your data.

Power query helper functions

We're developing helper functions for Power Query to streamline data workflows and make it even easier to work with your Speckle data directly in Power BI.
