Is it possible to add a trend line to graph in Power BI ?
For example like in excel
Now is possible to add a trend line, but it is a very basic one; in Excel you can put a polinomial trend line for example.. is very strange that Excel is much better than Power Bi in some cases..
Unfortunately, at the moment it is not possible. However, you can vote here for Microsoft to add this feature in feature releases.

I have a question about the function "Analyse in Excel" or "Analyse in Excel" in German when a PBI (Power BI) report has been published.
I read in a flat table in PBI and create some measures in PBI. Basically, it's about account numbers and the limits. A calculation is not necessary or possible here.
If I now want to analyse the data in Excel Pivot Table, I can only display the measures as values. An analysis of account numbers and limits is not possible, as limits are not measures.
What do I have to do to be able to select original data as values?
Thank you very much for your feedback and best regards

Try adding a measure from the table you are wanting to analyze and then double clicking on the measure value. This will pop open a new sheet and drillthrough to the rows detail behind that cell. It may give you the detail you are wanting. I also believe it will give you proper data types on columns so you can do Excel analysis.
Sorry! I do not get it.
To make it clear - I stripped down a very easy example of my problem:
I'm loading a flat file with account, currency, date and balance information.
The respective Power BI looks like:
After publishing the report into the cloud I would analyse the data within Excel
However, when I try to bring the "balance" information as value in, I'm receiving the following message:
The balance is not a measure in Power BI. Any idea what I can do?
Thank you and best regards

I'm new to PowerBI.
I wanted to create a scorecard that looks like the one in data studio where it displays the total value and percentage change from the previous period.
Below is the screenshot from Google Studio
You can add % from the data view in powerbi desktop,
PowerBI has some learning curve compare to Google Studio. I would recommend you to explore more and get yourself comfortable and try to find answers yourself.
But you should be able to achieve the output you're expecting using measures. Measures are similar to excel formula that allow you to calculate from existing values.

I am trying to indent the rows in matrix report in Power BI, Like shown in this image:
The requirement is not to group, just the indentation for few metrics. Is it possible in Power BI?
Use stepped layout https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-matrix-visual#stepped-layout-with-matrix-visuals
It is one of the many settings for the matrix visual and well documented in the Microsoft docs.
There is currently no simple way of indenting a few out of many items in one dimension.
The only option I see is to calculate a weird table on the form:
And then write a fairly complex measure leveraging ISINSCOPE to determine what value to pull for e.g. sales for Banana (but not the sum of Mango, Papaya et al.)
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
