We've been creating our idiosyncratic monthly blogs on Power BI updates since November 2016, and also deliver online and classroom Power BI courses.

Updates to Power BI Desktop for September 2022

This month is - surprisingly - another small update. There are 3 changes worth mentioning:

Change	Notes
Mobile formatting	You can now format mobile reports differently to desktop ones.
Column names show summarisation	When you add a field to a table, the column name by default shows what summarisation function Power BI is using.
Hierarchical charts	By default when you show two fields in the X axis of a chart Power BI will display these separately in a hierarchy, rather than concatenate the labels.

You can see more details on any of these changes by clicking on the relevant link above. Here's a quick view of features waiting in preview:

I've put a box round the features I'm most excited about, although I'm beginning to lose hope that any of the features above the green line will ever make it into production.
