Placing Visuals Using Exact X & Y Coordinates
Hi there, PowerBI enthusiasts!,
I trust this message finds you well. I’m currently working on a project and have encountered a potential area for enhancement in the PowerBI application.
As it stands, I’m not aware of a feature that allows us to use exact X & Y coordinates for placing visuals in the dashboard. This functionality would provide a significant improvement in achieving precise layouts, enabling us to position the visuals exactly where we want them using specific coordinates.
If such a feature is currently available, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to utilise it. If not, I believe this would be a valuable addition to the PowerBI feature set and would enhance the user experience for those super-detailed folks who like their reports as precise as a Swiss watch. 😊
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.
Cheers and happy data crunching,

Hi Baratti ,
Something similar is avaible in PowerBI which tell posititon of plotted visuals...Its not the exact X,Y coordinates but tell you position of your visual.Absolutely, it’s smashing and quite useful, but do we also have the dimensions of the visual itself, I mean the Height & Width, just like in PowerApps?
Hi Baratti , yes absolutely the image i shared shows the height , width of the visual only , to check for every plotted visual , select it and go in Format visual-> General -> properties-> position

Hello Baratti,
In PowerBi every element placed on the canvas can be manipulated for precise X, Y coordinates : Format Pane / Size and style, Height & Weight, Horizontal (X), Vertical (Y).
Is this what you were you searching?
Hi, yes, I’ve seen this feature in PowerApps, but where can you set X, Y for positioning a visual in PowerBI Desktop?
Please read the provided reply. Have you checked the Format Pane / Size and style, Height & Weight, Horizontal (X), Vertical (Y)?
Of course you have x , y , width and height in Power Bi Desktop! This is a basic feature!
