I would like to bold values in a table on Power bi's canvas. Is there a way to bold a value in Power bi by using its wizards rather than programming?
Tried to search for an answer, but didn't succeed finding it.
You can change the text font style in Segoe UI (Bold) for workaround.
It seems this feature isn't currently available in Power BI.

Here is a community idea you can vote on if you want this implemented:

One alternative is to change the color of values, which you can do by selecting your table, going to the Format tab on the right, and find the Conditional Formatting section. (The Field formatting does not let you specify which rows to format, nor does it have any text markup besides color). In the Conditional Formatting section you can play around with the Font Color options by toggling it on and selecting values and colors.
Unfortunately this isn't exactly what you were looking for but this is probably the best way to distinguish values in a Power BI table currently.

Coming from a Tableau background, is there no way to fully customize tooltips in Power BI?
For example, I want all the tooltip to say
abc
That's it.
Is that not possible?
The closest I've got was:
new_measure abc
After creating new_measure = "abc"
if you don't like the default tooltip, you can always create a custom one following the steps below. In your case you may need to customize the tooltip size to be say 50x100, and place a card visual showing a single text measure.

so, I got 3 xlsx full of data already treated, so I pretty much just got to display the data using the graphs. The problem seems to be, that Powerbi aggregates all numeric data (using: count, sum, etc.) In their community they suggest to create new measures, the thing is, in that case I HAVE TO CREATE A LOT OF MEASURES...Also, I tried to convert the data to text and even so, Powerbi counts it!!!
any help, pls?
There are several ways to tackle this:
When you pull a field into the field well for a visualisation, you can click the drop down in the field well and select "Don't summarize"
in the data model, select the column and on the ribbon select "don't summarize" as the summarization option in the Properties group.
The screenshot shows the field well option on the left and the data model options on the right, one for a numeric and one for a text field.
And, yes, you never want to use the implicit measures, i.e. the automatic calculations that Power BI creates. If you want to keep on top of what is being calculated, create your own measures, and yes, there will be many.
Edit: If by "aggregating" you are referring to the fact that text values will be grouped in a table (you don't see any duplicates), then you need to add a column with unique values to the table so all the duplicates of the text values show up. This can be done in the data source by adding an Index column, then using that Index column in the table and setting it to a very narrow with to make it invisible.
Hi all Power BI experts,
I have a PBI report looks like below. The map on the left is an image. The data on the right comes from DirectQuery.
The users request to have the T Values to be displayed on the map next to the grid IDs dynamically based on the menu option they click on.
Is there anyway to achieve this requirement? Thank you.
It can be used with "Synoptic panel" downloaded from PBI market place. The creator is okviz. Here is the URL for the visual: https://okviz.com/synoptic-panel/
You could put a card in each rectangle with a different measure for each Grid ID.
Not an elegant solution, but I don't know that there is a good way to do this if you just have a flat image file with no programmatically defined way to map Grid ID values to map sections.
I have a client that is accustomed to seeing hierarchy nesting in Power Pivot using Excel that looks and behaves like this:
[
Specifically, they love the plus/minus expand/collapse functionality.
We are now moving to Power BI which has a different philosophy when it comes to navigating a hierarchy. However, my client really likes the plus/minus paradigm in Power Query. Has anyone ever run across this before and come up with a workaround?
Currently, this is not possible in a matrix visual. It's a very popular request that you can vote for on the Power BI ideas site though.
It is possible to do this with a slicer though. I use the HierarchySlicer custom visual to do this.
Expand and collapse in matrix visual is coming as Public Preview.
Originally planned for October release, now moved to November.

You can implement drill down features using +/- buttons in Power BI Matrix visualisation.
This facilitates an explorer style expand/ collapse navigation by clicking + / - buttons. This visualization is also good for Pivot kinda reports.
You can add +/ - buttons to the row headers through the formatting pane under the row headers card. By default, the icons will match the formatting of the row header. Additionally, you can format it with the colour and size.

I'd like to build a report with power BI line chart. For there are too many values on the X-Axis, I was trying to add a range selection on the X-Axis like what amChart does.
So, I'm wondering if power BI can do this.
Also, I want to add hyperlink to each value on the X-Axis to link to related shared folder, is it doable?
For time range selection, take a look at https://app.powerbi.com/visuals and try the Advanced Time Slicer visual. It might already do what you're looking for.
For the x-axis urls, you have several approaches you can try. The easiest approach is to have a related table in your report that shows the links. Then when a user selects a datapoint in your line chart, the table would update to show the relevant links. Alternately you might try to extend the Power BI line chart with your own logic. This might be hard since Cartesian charts are more complex than other charts. You can find the line chart code here: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/blob/master/src/Clients/Visuals/cartesian/lineChart.ts
Alternately you can just write your own purpose built visual that does exactly what you want. This might actually be easier than extending the Power BI chart. You can learn how to build your own visual by looking at our wiki: https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-visuals/wiki
I was thinking about this more and wanted to mention one more solution. If you're looking to show the 'last n days' of data, instead of an arbitrary range, you can add a measure in DAX that returns the last days. I have an example here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lukaszp/archive/2015/08/08/finding-the-latest-date-in-power-bi-desktop.aspx
