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

We have recently started using looker studios for our Digital Marketing reporting and it is available in this tool. Overall, the way I can design and build reports in looker studios tool is far superior to Powerbi unfortunately. My Directors are now wanting the Powerbi reports to look just like the looker studio ones, Snapping to grid is only a small part of the difference between the two but the amount of time it saves by being able to quickly set up grid widths report wide and not having to set it the properties tab is unbelievable.

RE: Adjust grid size

Absolute necessity. The fixed size grid isn't a good enough solution. It also can not be that hard of a change to make. If you don't want to work on PBI Desktop features, open source it so the community can take care of little things like that and it does not have to wait 5+ years for features like this.
