I would like to change the default summarization function in the Modelling tab of Power BI Desktop to view actual value instead of summation of data, as described in this question.
I followed this video on customising ribbon in Power BI:
which suggested checking updated ribbon option in File/Options and settings/ Options/ Preview features, but there was not this option on my Power BI desktop:
Question edit:
I would like to edit a Power BI app which had already been published, so I will have to edit in Workspace, where I notice the default summarization is retained. How can I remove the default summarization setting the for Power BI app in Workspace?
(*Only for the first part of the question)
There seems to be a way to work around this with YouTube - 35 Don't summarize option Power BI.
Go to Data tab, click on the table on the right and edit Summarization option in the ribbon to Don't summarize.

As per the book, in order to access Column Details menu in Power BI Desktop visual, user should select any of the columns in Fields pane. I tried it in multiple dashboards, and it just didn't work for me, Column Details menu was never added. Please click on the link below to see my evidence:
I'm not able to see Column Details menu in Power BI Desktop, May 2020 edition:
Appreciate your help in this matter.
I have a 1 page report that I need to split into 2 pages. It currently has one slicer in the top left that controls all visuals.
In Power BI desktop I could just sync the visuals to the 1 slicer. How do I do this in the online version?
Thanks,
Mark
You can sync slicers in both Desktop and online, from the Microsoft documentation here, open the report and select the view item to turn on the sync slicers option. You can now sync/de-sync your items as required like the desktop version
I have created Power BI reports using various visualizations and filter options. But from what I know, I've only been able to pin the visuals to the Dashboards and not the filter options. Is that correct? Or can we actually add filters, especially the checkboxes and the drop-down lists, on the final dashboards as well?
You can use 'Slicer' option in the visualization pane to get some similar options that you have in filter pane.
Per Microsoft website:
No. Can't filter or slice a dashboard. Can filter a dashboard tile in
focus mode, but can't save the filter.

Power BI "Dashboards" are not meant to have the same features as "Reports". The Dashboards are supposed to be high-level snapshots with low-level of interactivity. If you want more details, you click on one of the visual to go to the "Report"
My initial requirements was to create a PowerApp that's integrated with Power BI using one of the columns (say col1) from tables used in Power BI report. I implemented this and published the app.
Now, the requirements have changed and the request is for an additional column (say col2) in the same app. How can I add an additional new field that can somehow show under PowerBIIntegration.Data.col2?
I didn't find any documentation or reference for the same. In past, I have built PowerApps with multiple columns but not sure how to add new column to existing PowerApps when integrated with Power BI.
I had the same issue, what you need to do is edit the power app from the PowerBI file or published version too.
Steps:
Open the PowerBI file or the published file with clicking on edit
Select your existing PowerApp visual
Add the new columns by checking the new column check boxes per usual
Then hover over the PowerApp Visual and click on on the three dots that appear in the top right of the powerApp visual, and select Edit,
This will launch PowerApp studio page so you can edit the app
Using this method will also connect your app to the live data set from the PowerBIIntegration data set.
source text:
"If you change the data fields associated with the visual, you will need to edit the app from Power BI service to make sure that the changes are propagated to PowerApps. You will observe unexpected behavior if the app is not edited from Power BI service to make sure that the new fields from Power BI reflect in the app."

I have inherited a set of reports in Power BI and need to update and add to the existing pages. I want to apply a custom theme to all the visualizations for a consistent look. Some of the visualizations have been individually formatted using the Power BI Desktop and therefore the imported theme does not control the individual visualizations.
Is there a way to apply "Revert to default" as a single operation on ALL visualizations and their properties without having to drill through one by one?
