There are hardly any changes in this update - the only significant one is that you now sort and filter data within Power BI Desktop itself, rather than having to go into Query Editor.
- Changes in June 2018 Update of Power BI Desktop (this blog)
- In situ sorting and filtering of tables of data
- Various small improvements to specific chart types
- Features still in preview in the June 2018 update
For a cumulative list of all of the updates to Power BI Desktop in the last few year or two, see this blog. Our two-day Power BI Desktop course always uses the latest version of the software.

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.
Changes in June 2018 Update of Power BI Desktop
A very quiet month! There are only two changes which we think people on our courses will be interested in:
| Change | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sorting and filtering in Data view | You no longer have to go into Query Editor to sort and filter data - you can do this in Data view. |
| Small chart improvements | You can now change the size of the hole in a donut chart, put data labels inside pie/donut chart slices and customise the data labels on combo chart data series. |
I've also included my usual monthly summary of what's lying waiting in preview. You can see the full list of changes at the Microsoft update site.
