Epic idea: Enhanced data labels
Data labels need to be improved to address the formatting challenges with reporting styles. This could be done by developing an entirely new range of formatting options to give report creators greater control over multiple values and enable flexible report styling, putting Power BI on par with...
Epic idea: Improved series labels
Enhance data visualization by adopting best practices for series labels. This includes adding leading leader lines, placing series labels on the last data point, and matching label colors to their series. These improvements will provide report creators with more clarity and ease of use.
Epic idea: Dynamic label interactions
Labels should become dynamic and interactive visual components, not just active or inactive. An ideal solution includes show/hide, switching values, locations, or styles based on interactive states (unselected, selected, on hover, pressed, dimmed, highlighted), making data interaction easier.
Epic idea: Total and reference labels
All improvements to Data labels should also be added to the Total and Reference labels. This would give report creators even greater report customization and allow them to deliver a report that provides clearer communication of vital data points to all Cartesians.
Epic idea: Visual callouts
Instead of callouts that are separate from the actual visual, having a summary value easily displayed within a visual is important because it allows users to quickly grasp key information without having to analyze the entire dataset. Plus, make the callouts fully customizable to provide report...
Epic idea: Advanced primary axis
The primary axis are outdated and require significant improvement when compared to Excel. This makes it difficult for report creators and often leads to problems when trying to manage and style them effectively. By offering more format settings, greater control over displayed data can be provi...
Epic idea: Advanced secondary axes
Secondary axes are automatically managed by the system in some cases, making it problematic for report creators with no control over intervals, ticks, and other crucial components, limiting effectiveness of various types of analysis. It would be great if the secondary axis included comprehensi...
Epic idea: Zero lines
Because its sometimes difficult to distinguish between negative and positive values in certain visualizations, data can be misinterpreted compromising user experience. If possible, including zero lines on both primary and secondary axes would be a great solution.
Epic idea: Better zoom experiences
Zoom sliders are problematic not only for reasons of functionality and behavior, but also they simply aren’t very aesthetically pleasing, which makes users avoid them, missing the benefits they provide to Cartesian visualizations. The design, behavior, and functionality needs to be redesigned ...
Epic idea: Refined play axis
Another idea, important to the re-design efforts of Power BI, is to update and expand the Play axis so that more visuals can benefit from it. Report creators would have a much better experience if formatting settings were improved significantly, enabling them to achieve a wide range of styles.
