Add the ability to control the size of the grid in Power BI.

It's great to have snap-to-grid functionality and gridlines in Power BI Desktop. However, I haven't used this feature much because the standard grid size is not useful for my particular reports. I need the ability to change the size of the grid to make it more/less dense depending on my scenario.

RE: Adjust grid size

Yes, we need this feature. Not useful in current state.

RE: Adjust grid size

I totally agree. The grid size is much to big for making nice visible reports

RE: Adjust grid size

Something that resembles the flexibility that Visio provides would be more than sufficient - specifically the "fixed" option.

RE: Adjust grid size

More granular grid sizing is a must so that we can provide a more complete / consistent user experience.

RE: Adjust grid size

or even just a grid size that fits evenly across a 16:9 ratio?

RE: Adjust grid size

We are building data UIs. How can a UI construction tool not have a smaller or adjustable grid size?

RE: Adjust grid size

This could be used to stop the grid dimensions changing. When I use a different PC with a different size screen, or view the bookmarks pane, or change the width of the visualisations pane, etc., the grid dimensions change and it becomes really difficult to keep things aligned.

RE: Adjust grid size

The grid size is huge which makes it almost useless. Take a note from Crystal Reports which has had the ability to adjust the grid size since I started using it....20 years ago.
