Congratulations to the winners of the What If contest!

A few weeks ago we launched a “What If” contest to promote the release of our new What If feature in Power BI Desktop. Many of you were anticipating this feature for a while now, and we wanted to celebrate its arrival in style!

Today we’re excited to introduce filters as are our latest improvement to phone reports.
