Power BI Updates for December 2019
Twelve months ago Microsoft decided not to have a December update of Power BI, but this year they have relented. Read on to see the main changes this month's update contains for report developers!
Change | Notes |
---|---|
Personalised visuals pane | You can now remove from the default Visualisations Pane visuals you rarely use. |
Better KPI formatting | There are many more ways to format a KPI, although the field properties for the visual remain the same. |
URLs for table/matrix columns/rows | You can use conditional formatting to turn table and matrix headings into clickable URLs. |
A new DAX Quarter function | There's a new function in DAX to return the quarter number for any date. |
Finally, here are the features waiting in preview as of this month. Not only does this include (as mentioned last month) a new Power BI ribbon, but there's also a welcome custom theme editor coming up.
