Power BI Desktop Update for May 2024 Part three of a seven-part series of blogs |
---|
This month's bigger than average update sees new pivot table style matrix layouts, the emergence of modern tooltips, calculation groups and the DAX query pane from preview and a couple of other smaller changes.
We've been creating our idiosyncratic monthly blogs on Power BI updates since November 2016, and also deliver online and classroom Power BI courses. |
I've blogged about modern tooltips before, so will just give a quick summary of them here:
Modern tooltips look nicer, and respond better to formatting and themes. They also make it easier to drill through into other pages (although not necessarily immediately, as the rest of this blog explains).
The main advantage of modern tooltips should be that they give you a new (and better) way to drill through to other data. If you set up a drill-through page:
Here I've designated that the type of a second page is Drillthrough, and specified that the RegionName field is the drill-through field.
Then after a split second a drill-through option should appear in the modern tooltip for the initial page:
This option should appear, allowing you to drill through by any region you hover over.
You can also drill up and down in a similar way. However ...
Wise Owl's experience is that the modern tooltips are turned off by default in preview:
By default this option is now not ticked.
This means that while modern tooltips appear, the drill-through and drill-down options don't by default.
It appears that you have to enable this preview option in Power BI to get it to work fully, meaning that you could argue that it is now less enabled than it was before Microsoft made this change!
