But that's not all! There are more improvements coming soon for graphs, charts, plots, and markers in the following months, so get ready for even more exciting updates!
On-Object Interaction (Preview) - New Updates
The on-object interaction feature, released for preview in March, has received more improvements and bug fixes this month.
Customise the Pane Switcher: Now, there's a convenient new "+" button on the pane switcher, allowing users to quickly add new panes without navigating to the View ribbon. The menu also provides a brief description of available panes and their functions. Even better, the panes you add to the switcher are saved across reports, making it a one-time configuration.
CTRL Click for Multiple Panes: Opening multiple panes is now even easier. Hold down the CTRL key and click on the panes you want to open from the pane switcher. It saves time and makes navigation more efficient.
Treemap Sub-selections Supported: Now, you can make treemap sub-selections, giving you more control and flexibility in visualizing your data.
Bug Fixes: Several annoying bugs have been resolved, including the overlap of on-object buttons on the formula bar, issues with the visual tooltip blocking formatting, and the reflection of the selected visual type in the ribbon visual gallery.
Data Model Editing in Power BI Service (Preview) - New Updates
The data model editing feature in the Power BI Service, released for preview in April, has received significant enhancements based on your feedback.
Creating and editing relationships in the web is now much easier with relationship validation. When you define the properties of your relationship, the system will automatically validate it and provide suitable choices for cardinality and cross-filter selections, just like in Power BI Desktop.
Dataset Details Page Revamp - Enhanced User Experience
The dataset details page has undergone a fantastic revamp, offering a better user experience and new capabilities. Now, when you click on a dataset in the OneLake data hub and workspace view, you'll be directed to the redesigned page with a fresh look and feel, with the below new features:
Actions: You'll find various actions you can perform on the dataset, like creating a report and refreshing the dataset. The latest release also introduces the option to view the refresh history under the refresh menu.
Dataset Metadata: Gain insights into the dataset through its description and last refresh time.
Related Items: Explore related items associated with the dataset to get a broader perspective.
Dataset Schema: Get a comprehensive view of the dataset's tables and columns. Clicking on a table provides a table preview with export capabilities available through paginated reports behind the scenes.
These updates aim to provide you with a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of your data.
