Power BI May 2017 Release
May 3, 2017
By Mike Carlo
It’s that exciting time of month again. Time for another power BI desktop release. This month here are a couple of good highlights you should check out.
- First up enhanced tables with word wrapping in both headers and table rows. Woot Woot, I have really needed this feature!
- Clicking a row in the table will now allow filtering in other visuals. Similar functionality to the matrix features that we already saw last month.
- Enhanced URL links for tables. This on is interesting. If you are an ad agency you should really pay attention to this one. This allows you to embed a mailto command directly in a table. Then you can click the link to send an email to someone directly from Power BI, perfect for following with a sales leads.
- Combo charts label density. This feature is one I can really stand behind. Frankly, I didn’t know I needed it, but now that I have seen the light, this will be awesome.
