Here is my selection of noteworthy highlights from Microsoft Power BI November 2021 Feature Summary.
Reporting
- New Format Panel (Preview)
- We are now getting into the Win 11 UI design
- I am not sure if I really like it yet, it feels too much cluttered, boxes inside the already collapse menu
- Page and Bookmark Navigators
- We now can have all Pages Navigation Buttons with a single click. We also get custom Styling panes for both with additional Show/Hide functionality for specific pages
- I am not really a big fan of this as I usually suggest my users publish dashboards/reports into Apps which has a default left Navigation Bar. Unless you are creating a menu-driven web-page like experience, this is not really for you
- Text Box Superscript / Subscript and Bulleted Lists
- We finally get one of the features that I have wanted forever.
- You can now format text inside textbox as superscript, subscript and bullet lists
- Pie and Donut chart rotation
- By default all values are arranged in clockwise order, you can now rotate it so as to position it as you like
- This will be helpful when you have multiple small pie pieces that don’t get proper visibility
Data Connectivity
- Google Sheets (New Connector) (Preview)
- I remember, all the struggles I had to undergo to connect to Google Sheets over the years.
- This is still in preview, will definitely check it out.
