Changes in the February 2023 Power BI Update Part one of an eight-part series of blogs |
|---|
|
There are quite a few changes in this month's update, but none of them will change your life that much!
|
We've been creating our idiosyncratic monthly blogs on Power BI updates since November 2016, and also deliver online and classroom Power BI courses.
Although there are quite a few changes in this month's update, none of them is particularly significant. But don't let me dictate to you - judge for yourself!
| Change | Notes |
|---|---|
| New relationship editor | This has been around in preview for some time now, but since it's now turned on by default I thought it was time to blog about it. |
| Hard-coded conditional formatting | You can now colour columns or bars by their names (for example, you could stipulate that the North region should be blue). |
| Better page navigator control | There's now a feature allowing you to exclude or include certain pages from page navigators. |
| Text box indentation | You can now indent text within a text box! |
| Accessible themes | Microsoft have created a few accessible themes for you to use as a basis for reports. |
| New DAX regression functions | The LINEST and LINESTX functions allow you to get linear regression coefficients. |
| Better image dimension control | You can now change both the height and the width of images in tables and matrices. |
Here are the features waiting in preview:

I blogged about field parameters in my November update 3 months ago. I keep hoping that modern visual tooltips will be released formally, but failing this I might cover these in next month's update blog.
