Is there a way to set up a loading sequence for the elements in a desktop dashboard so that the slicer will always load first even though other elements might still be loading?
(i.e I change 1 slicer filter and the dashboard starts loading. Now I want to change a filter from another slicer, but I have to wait for the changes made from the first slicer to be loaded before seeing the different options to select from in the second slicer)
So I want the slicer to always load first, even though other elements might still be loading (as the slicer only takes 2 seconds to load whereas I need to wait 30 seconds for some matrices)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Unlike Excel you can't select all filter before the update of the visual.
Each modification of slicer would launch a request for your visuals.
The work around is to create another page with slicer synchronize with the same slicer on your page with visuals and switch on this page when you have properly parametrize your request.

I want to change visualisations with a time period slicer.
This is an example of a page for a single month of data. I would like to have a time slicer that would allow me to select different months/time periods and show me the relevant data.
I thought about using buttons with bookmarks to be able to click between different months, but it is not feasible when more months come in. All the guides on the internet show how to change visualisations with time as an axis, so I don't know where to look.
Please let me know if there is a better way to do this!
In your data sources add separate column for date (or you can use existing column for that)
Next you have to create calendar from power bi or insert excel sheet, Its better to create calendar from power bi.
Then you need to make sure all the date columns are in date format. And make relationship between columns.
power bi desktop
Drag and drop created date column to the calendar column.
Then you have global slicer that affect to your selected visualization.
From slicer you can change slicer visualization as you want
I have two visuals in the report stacked on top of each other
by default, both of the visuals occupy 50% of the space.
I want functionality like 2 buttons to focus on each visual.
Now, when I click on the 1st button it should make the 1st visual 3 times the size of the 2nd visual. Similarly, when I click on the 2nd button it should make the 2nd visual 3 times the size of the 1st visual.
How to achieve this in Power BI. Thanks in Advance.
You can use two different visuals where if you select the data it will just be highlighted.
As of now we could see that is not supported by Power Bi, if you are using the visuals then you have to adjust it prior you publish your Dashboard.
Power BI does not currently support dynamic resizing of visuals. But you can achieve this by using two versions of the same result by mutually using the visibility function.
Hoping this is a simple one to resolve.
I have a dataset, a SQL View, with the data imported into my PBIX. I have a date slicer and a number of tables, matrices and charts, over 2 pages. All update whenever I change my slicer, great.
One of my charts needs to show the last 12 months only. I choose Relative Date Filtering from the Visual level filters, select "is in the last", 12 and months from the various drop-downs. When I click Apply filter, my chart goes blank, even though there is data. When I click off the chart and back on again, the drop-down has changed to Days, not months. I have tried with various different options and always defaults back to days.
My Date field is definitely a Date. I have also tried adding a Date table and using that date too but the same thing happens.
Is it me or is there a bug?
Thanks
I'm struggling with what I assume is a calculated table in Power BI Desktop.
I need to somehow connect my database loaded Accounts table with a manually created Progress table (with some fixed data), so that each row in Accounts basically has a calculated column which is the resulting Progress table for that row. (Hope that makes sense).
[This is the Progress table1
The calculated columns in the Progress table should use data from the related Accounts row to give an overview of where the Account is now, how long it took and the likely future time frames to reach the next levels of progress.
Is there a way to do such a thing?
TIA!

I think you have 2 options:
Add a column in the model layer using the DAX LOOKUPVALUE function: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492170.aspx
From the Edit Queries window, use the Merge Queries button, then Expand the resulting NewColumn.
Is it possible to create a slider in PowerBI just like we create a slider in EXCEL.If possible can someone point me to some basic tutorials for that or may e an example would really help a lot.
I think OP is referring to a slider in the context of having a slicer with variable values that can be adjusted by dragging a button of some type along a bar with beginning and ending values, such as a date. Power BI added a date slider in a recent update which is accessed by choosing the slicer visual in your screenshot and selecting a date field from the query. There is also a custom visual which allows granularity from year to quarter to month to week to day. The beginning of the fiscal year can be customized in the formatting options, so it's pretty useful if one is using Power BI in a business setting.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any other type of slider available which allows the use of fields other than ones which contain date values. Even when the field is a date/time value, neither of the sliders have the ability to show hours/minutes/seconds. I was searching for one I could use with time or even on an index column when I saw this question and haven't had much luck.
