New scaling options for bubble charts

Posted by Andy Brown on 26 August 2023

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

So here I am starting to design a report in desktop layout:

Note the new icons in the bottom left corner next to the page tabs!

Here's me creating a mobile view of the same report (the visual shown in the desktop version of the report is waiting to be dragged on):

Again, note the icons to switch between layouts.

So this is one of those changes which is extremely simple to show and explain!

I must admit I've never tried designing a report for mobile - even though Microsoft are obviously putting more effort into it, the interface still seems clunky. Maybe it's time for Power BI to have completely independent mobile and desktop report designers?
