In one previous „recipe“ there were words about the Q&A feature that Power BI supports. Since November 2018 it has been upgraded so that it is now possible to “ask subquestions” which represent a modification of the initial query. Also, this option also allows you to track the question history so, in that way, you can make interactive reports that users will adore.
Conditional formatting is not new feature, but so far Power BI users have been able to use it exclusively in visuals that contain some sort of table.

Power BI, similar to Power Pivot, has a look at the tables and their relationships. Its advantage is that, from the very beginning, automatically detects relations between tables based on the name of the column that it discoveres as keys.

Although Power Pivot reports still have advantages over the Matrix visual, in charge of displaying a table with a high level of detail, Microsoft persuades us day after day that Power BI will be able to carry this field as well as its “older brother”.

Shape Maps are predefined maps that are recently deployed as business intelligence visuals for Power BI Desktop, and contain predefined maps of organizational units (republics, regions, ares) within the state. This is a new functionality that is supported only for some countries, but it’s not bad idea to mention it as I believe that one day it will be available for more countries including Serbia.
