Microsoft Releases Power BI September 2025 Updates

This September, Microsoft delivers major wave of updates to Power BI, with enhancements focused on AI, reporting, modeling, and visuals. These improvements are designed to help organizations uncover insights faster, simplify data analysis, and drive smarter decision-making across teams.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Copilot & AI

    Copilot is now enabled by default, giving you a full-screen, chat-based experience to explore your data, ask questions, and get insights across reports, semantic models, and Fabric data agents.

  • Reporting

    Performance Analyzer is now available in the web report editor, helping you track and optimize visual load times.

  • Modeling

    Edit semantic models directly in Power BI Service—bringing end-to-end authoring to the browser with near-parity to Desktop.

  • Mobile

    NFC Tag Support lets you scan and register Power BI items like reports, dashboards, apps, or workspaces straight from the app.

  • Visualizations

    The new Advanced Column chart makes it easier to compare values across time, categories, or quantities with clear visual lines.
