Get set ready to walk through the top Power BI June 2025 updates, expanding the horizons and possibilities of analytics landscape today.

We’ve spent over two decades helping organisations turn data into decisions. Few tools have transformed business intelligence as profoundly as Power BI—and this June, Microsoft’s flagship analytics platform celebrated its 10th anniversary with a feature-packed update that’s all about secure collaboration, smarter analytics, and community celebration.

Whether you’re a data analyst, report developer, or Power BI admin, the June 2025 release brings enhancements that will make your work more flexible, resilient, and insightful. 

Top Power BI June 2025 Updates

1. Secure Collaboration on Sensitive Data in Power BI Desktop

Working with confidential data just got easier. The latest Sensitivity Labels update allows teams to collaborate on protected Power BI files without compromising security or compliance.

• Seamless File Access: Users can now open encrypted .pbix files in Power BI Desktop if they have the right permissions, no elevated access needed.
• Export Controls: Exporting protected files to unsupported formats (CSV, PBIT, PBIP) is blocked, reducing the risk of leaks.
• Workspace Boundaries: Protected files can only be republished to their original workspace, ensuring compliance is maintained.

2. Visual Calculations (Preview): Faster, More Resilient, and Explore-Ready

Visual calculations, first introduced as a preview, get a major usability boost:

• Parameter Pickers: Build formulas faster with dropdown selectors for required parameters—no more manual DAX typing.
• Error Resilience: Calculations won’t break when switching visual types, making your reports more robust.
• Explore Integration: Visual calculations are now available in Explore mode for powerful ad-hoc analysis.

3. Sparklines Now Generally Available

After a long preview, sparklines—those handy mini trend charts in tables and matrices—are now fully released.

• Calculation Groups Support: Apply calculation items to each data point (default) or across the entire sparkline, enabling advanced trend analysis for sales, finance, and more.

4. Azure Maps Visual – New Tenant Settings (Admin Action Required)

Power BI administrators must review and configure new tenant settings for the Azure Maps visual to ensure continued geospatial reporting.

• Why it matters: Smooth integration with Azure Maps services and uninterrupted location-based analytics.
• Action: Check and update settings in the Power BI Admin Portal.

5. Power BI Turns 10: Celebrating a Decade of Data Innovation

June 2025 marks Power BI’s 10th birthday! Microsoft is celebrating with:

• PBI10 Dataz Contest: Show off your best visualisations.
• PL-300 Exam Prep & Discounts: Get certified with special sessions and vouchers.
• Microsoft Fabric Community Conferences: Join global events in Vienna (Sep 2025) or Atlanta (Mar 2026) to connect and learn.

6. Other Notable Updates

• Copilot Enhancements: New “Chat with Your Data” experience and embedded report support.
• Semantic Model Editing: Edit any semantic model in Fabric, right from Power BI Desktop.
• Power Query Editing in the Web: Transform data in-browser for import models—great for Mac users and web-first workflows.
