Microsoft has rolled out the August 2025 Power BI update, introducing fresh capabilities across Copilot, reporting, and modeling. The release continues to build on AI-driven insights while adding new previews and features designed to make analytics more seamless and collaborative.

Here’s what’s new:

Copilot & AI
Copilot is now supported in embedded Power BI reports for SharePoint Online, allowing users to interact with the Copilot Report Pane directly within their embedded reports.
Reporting
Org apps (preview) are now supported in workspaces with Pro licenses. Create multiple org apps per workspace to deliver tailored report experiences for leaders, managers, or cross-business initiatives.
Modeling
You can now use Mirrored Azure Databricks catalogs as a data source to bring Direct Lake tables into a semantic model in Power BI Desktop via OneLake.
Developer API
When saving a Live Connect report as a PBIP, the definition.pbir file now includes a simplified connection string with the XMLA endpoint and semantic model ID.
Visualizations
The new Powerviz Date Picker brings a modern calendar view, presets, pop-up mode, default selection, themes, and more — making it a must-have date slicer.
