Power BI February 2017 Release

Power BI February 2017 Release

The long awaited PowerBI Desktop release is here.  I’d like to point out a couple of key features that will help you improve your reports.  First, the addition of word wrap on row headers.  The tutorial for working with row headers is found here.  A second feature that will help beginner users is the addition of two new Quick Calcs.  The Quick Calcs allow you run calculations within a visual without the need to write a DAX measure.  It’s nice to see some of the more common calculations being added as standard features.

For the full release notes from Microsoft follow this link.
