We designed a lot of reports with drill-down chart in PowerBI designer last week. however, with the version they released on July 24th, they ripped off this feature.
Any one having any idea of by when they are going to get the drill-down feature back in Power BI?
This feature is already available now. I have used them many times over. They have been available since december 2015. See documentation:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-drill-down-in-a-visualization/
We’re working to bring back the features like drill down. Best way to keep updated on features is to head over to support.powerbi.com and submit a suggestion; we’ll notify you when it’s in the product.

We have come to the situation of wanting to rename some columns in our PowerBI reports for clarity reasons and also replace some raw numbers with measures, so we can add logic to them. However renaming fields breaks the visuals in reports in the PowerBI service that have been created based on the dataset.
Fixing all the visuals by hand is absolutly not feasible for us, as we have hundereds of reports with dozens of visuals each, over multiple datasets. Is there any way to solve this, maybe edit the deployed reports programmatically somehow or are we just stuck with the field naming and layout we chose?
Thanks for any help!
We found a solution to this, while it might not be a straightforward process, it allows to programmatically alter reports and fix them in JSON format. The command line toolset pbi-tools allows to decompile and recompile reports like
pbi-tools extract reportfile.pbix
pbi-tools compile reportfolder
and create a series of editable JSON files. In our tests it was even possible to substitute a data model with this approach. Also this is useful for version control of reports.

Fixing all the visuals by hand is absolutly not feasible for us, as we have hundereds of reports with dozens of visuals each, over multiple datasets.
The only general solution to breaking changes in a shared Dataset is to introduce a new version, and keep both for a period of time.
For this specific change, you could introduce a new Perspective in the model (using Tabular Editor) which new reports could choose.
Another option if the Dataset is large, and you don't introduce any structural changes, is to have one model reference the other model using DirectQuery, which is currently a preview feature.
I am totally new to Power BI, so your help would be much appreciated.
I have gone through a couple of beginners tutorials and am now trying to practice by creating my own dashboards.
If I have a table that looks like this:
I want to have the dashboard let me select (by clicking) the person I want to view, and once clicked, it should highlight (change color) of the names of the sports that they play.
Examples:
and:
How would I go about accomplishing that?
Thank you for your time!
I've looked into several visualization options, but I believe I am missing something still in terms of knowing functionality.
For those reading this in the future, here's the solution that I found.
There is a visualization that's available for free in the Power BI marketplace called ChickletSlicer that lets you do exactly that.
Cheers.
I've read multiple sources about including javascript in Power BI and how this is done. What I've found so far is, that this can be achieved through the Power BI Javascript API or through a Custom Visual (I'm rather new to Power BI so please correct me if I'm wrong).
However, I haven't found any source stating whether it's possible to alter other visuals using javascript implemented this way?
The goal is being able to dynamically translating headers of tables (no native way in Power BI of doing that yet except of duplicating data as far as I know; which we'd rather avoid).
So in short the questions is:
Is it possible to have any javascript implemented through either a Custom Visual or the Javascript API that can alter and translate the headers of a table on a given page in the report?
Your custom visual would not be able to affect other visuals in the way you're hoping for.
While it's not dynamic, you can always alias any fields or measures added to a PBI visual by double clicking the item in the field well and typing over the default name.
Looking at the Power BI examples within the Microsoft Store, you can see several non-standard visualisations but no indication on what they are actually called. I have found the Dial Guage but can't seem to find anything else on the others.
Is anyone aware of what these visualisations are called?
The one at the bottom left is the "Dial Gauge".
The ones on the top left and right are the same I guess. This is the "Synoptic Panel by OKViz". Very powerfull one.
For the last one on the bottom right, I would say "Story-Teller" but not sure about this one.
But still, they are all custom visuals. Hope it will help.
We are Redmine as a Project management tool. It has been working great and we are happy with it. We now have a new requirement now. Our management wants to see a report showing each project's delivery date, manager, start date, total issues, open issues, closed issues. I searched at several places for quite some time and did not get a solution. I appreciate if someone can offer help.
This is, for me personally, the single thing JIRA is better at :)
Anyway, that being said, you can get a summary of all open versions on your "my page", eh, page, by using this plugin:
https://github.com/bradbeattie/redmine-my-widgets-plugin
And you can also add custom queries to "my page".
You can get much of what you want in the issue report. Click the Summary button in the sidebar of the issues page in each project. Example
Create one generic top level project. Calendar, gantt charts, issues, etc, for the top level project will show everything for every project that's nested underneath.
If you are properly adding roadmaps/milestones to all the projects, you can use My Roadmaps plugin to get a consolidated visibility:

It works fine with 1.2 and 1.4 versions.
