You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our blogs. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.
Chart Line Markers and Line Effects
I really like this new feature!
Markers on a chart make it easier to differentiate data points, as well as helping colour-blind people interpret data.
You can set markers for line and area charts as follows:
The new Shapes section lets you control whether markers appear, and if so how. You can also change the thickness of the line, and how Power BI Desktop joins line segments together.
New feature of the month? It would probably win my nomination.
