I have a Power BI dashboards that looks like this:
As you can see the subscriptionName is hidden and you have to click on the + in order to open up and see the name of the subscription.
I would like to have the SubscriptionId and the subscriptionName on the same line without need to open up the next row.
In the formatting pane, turn off stepped layout.
On the matrix itself, click the split arrow icon.

Is there a Tab Control control in Power Bi that can be dropped onto a dashboard similar to other controls, like checkbox, list, etc. I would like the user to be able to add various inputs on each tab and then be able to plot a line on a chart based on their selections. Each tab on the Tab control would represent a separate product. An image of a tab control can be found at the link below.
Not sure if Power BI has something like that out of the box, but you could roll your own.
It looks like you want a bunch of slicers that are overlapping and come to the top when their "tab" is clicked. You can achieve this by showing/hiding slicers when a button is clicked. Conceptually:
add slicers to the report and arrange to overlap
add buttons to the report and arrange side by side
add bookmarks to the page that show the different hidden/visible states of the slicers
assign the bookmarks to the buttons
Matt Allington has a blog post about this technique. He uses just one slicer panel, so you will need to adjust it to your needs but it has everything you need to do what you describe.
I am trying to add a check box to each row inside a power bi table.
Post clicking I would want to lock/highlight the row.
I know this is pretty simple to create on a web page.
Could anyone please suggest any ways of achieving this in power bi.
This sort of functionality is not available in Power BI. You can add highlighting to the row using conditional formatting and/or add a KPI icon
This is how my table looks like in Power BI Desktop:
In the 1st column, we have the year, and in the n remaining columns the indicators.
I'd like to build a matrix visual with the indicators in the rows and years in columns.
Now, I know I can unpivot all the columns except the year in the query editor. But the structure above is necessary to build charts where the x-axis is the year and the series is only one or two indicators.
Is there a way (a measure, calculated table or other) to build the matrix I need?
Thanks!
If I understand correctly, you want both your original table layout and a new transposed table like this:
You can do that with a new, additional query.
Just go into your query editor and right click on your existing query (in the left pane of the screen), and then click Reference. That will create a new query, using the previously existing query as its source.
Then click the Transform tab. Then click the bottom part of the "Use First Row As Headers" button, so that you can then click on "Use Headers as First Row".
Then click on Transpose.
Then click on the top part of the "Use First Row As Headers" button (or click on its bottom part and then "Use First Row As Headers")
Then click on the Home tab and "Close & Apply". This will add a new table to your Power BI data set, from the transposed table.
Open the excel data you want to transpose in power query editor.
go to transform tab.
and drop down "use first row as header" and select "use header as first row" -> this will add one more row at the top of the data as shown in the second screenshot1

and then click on transpose button. you can see the data has been transposed.

If you want to remove the first row, drop down "use first row as header" and select "use first row as header"
I've done some basic things in a query editor via the user interface. For instance, I renamed a column. Now I'm going back to review, but I'm having a hard time figuring out where the details of the step are.
In Applied Steps, on the "Renamed Column", I can right click and go to properties, but it does not list the old and new column name. There is no gear/setting icon to the right. How do I figure out what the new and old column names are?
For the "remove top rows" step, I can click on the gear icon to the right, and get a box with the number of rows, and edit it. How can I do the same with other steps such as renaming columns?
Not all commands have a gear icon in the Applied Steps panel. The Advanced editor can be quite overwhelming at first.
To ease into things, go to the View ribbon and ensure that "Formula Bar" is ticked, like in the screenshot below. Now you can select a step in the Applied Steps panel and its formula shows in the formula bar, very much like in Excel. You can edit the formula and change parameters as you see fit.
You can expand the formula bar to show a few more rows, with the icon at the right of the formula bar.
The code behind the Query Editor is Power Query. Microsoft Power BI ports many useful / frequently-used functions to the user interface for easier / better user experience (but not all functions, obviously).
Therefore, if you want to find the details of a step, you can always go to the Advanced Editor and check out the original Power Query code to find the corresponding line of code. You can also modify the code directly if you understand Power Query.
Below is a screenshot of the Advanced Editor, where the Table.RenameColumns function in Power Query is highlighted, which is the same as Rename Column in Power BI:
Is there a way to include a collapsible text in a Power BI report?
The purpose would be to add text into the report (essentially explanations for the user on the data and the methodology), but without the text being allways present and taking real state. Right now I elaborate separate documentation on the reports but it could be more effective to be able to have the text appear right when the user needs documentation in the report.
I would add the text as either a Multi-Row Card, Table or Long Text Viewer (Custom Visual).
Then I would reduce the frame size of that object to show just the first line of text. Users can click the Focus Mode button to expand the visual to a full screen view.
That text might event say "Click the Focus Mode button (top right) to expand ...".
