Easiest Edit Visuals in Power BI - Watch before using the new features
Editing visuals and charts in Power BI just became more E
Editing visuals and charts in Power BI just became more Excel-like. So if you’re familiar with formatting charts in Excel, you will love this Power BI update!
Microsoft introduced a new way to build and format visuals directly ON the visual. It puts common actions for creating and formatting visuals on the visuals themselves, actions such as adding fields, changing visualization types, and formatting text. Just like you’re used to in Excel charts.
You can now easily format your bar, column and line charts directly on the canvas. There is an object edit mode. You don’t have to keep going to the side panel to make your updates. Double click on your visual to get the blue border and edit the chart as you need. Check out the video and time stamps for more detail.
After-all most people who open Microsoft Power BI for the first time are overwhelmed. They struggle to navigate around the many panes to perform even simple actions. This update will change that.
Note: This feature for contextual on-object interaction with Power BI visuals is currently in preview. You need to turn it on manually in the Options - Preview features.
