# What's New: Enhanced Subscription Billing Analytics (2026 release wave 1)

> Enhanced Subscription Billing analytics in the 2026 release wave 1: the Power BI subscription billing app gets a redesigned UI matching the other eight Power BI apps, updated reports and visuals, and expanded demo data for Power BI and analysis mode views.

[Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnIJZ2Ozcxs) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2026-04-01 · 9:39 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus)

## Overview

The video covers changes to subscription billing analytics in 2026 release wave 1. The Power BI subscription billing app UI was reworked to look and feel like the other eight Power BI apps. The overview report was updated to match version 28 standards.

Report changes include navigation visuals for filtering by clicking chart elements, visual indicators in matrix reports, tooltips on the revenue year-over-year growth report, bubble charts for revenue by item, and map visuals for revenue by customer and geography. The video also covers expanded demo data with more customer contracts, vendor contracts and transactions, and points to the documentation by searching for the subscription billing app.

## Key points

- The subscription billing Power BI app (almost 15 pages) was reworked to match the look and feel of the other eight Power BI apps.
- The subscription billing overview report has a new layout; the video shows it as it looks in version 27 and in version 28.
- Navigation visuals let users filter reports by clicking chart elements such as bars, instead of using the filter pane. Shown in the revenue analysis and churn analysis reports.
- The revenue year-over-year growth report gained visual type changes and tooltips, without changing the underlying information. Revenue development also moved to a new visual with tooltips for details.
- Revenue by item now uses bubble charts, where bubble size shows an additional dimension. Map visuals show revenue by customer and geography, as in other Power BI apps from earlier release waves.
- Matrix reports now have visual indicators next to numeric values to show relative magnitude.
- Demo data for subscription billing now has more customer contracts, vendor contracts and transactions, for demos in Power BI and in-client analysis mode views.
