Update: Changed 0.1.2 to focus on bug fixes mostly. There will be some new open data to map resource types to their friendly display names as well. The previous goals have been pushed to 0.1.3, which are mostly done and being validated now.

Update: While addressing bugs for Power BI reports, we decided to expand the scope of 0.1.2 to include some larger report fixes including creating a separate report for the connector, updating all reports to use FOCUS 1.0 preview, and switching the main reports to use FOCUS exports from Cost Management for performance.
