Adding a large quantity of addons does not trigger a scroll bar.

I thought that you had to download all the addons you wanted to power BI desktop, to use on any project. I think you are supposed to download just the visual addons you want for just that ONE project/report correct?

 

Because I added all these visuals. And no scroll bar appears to see them all.

And I cannot remove them with "Remove Visuals" option. I have tried many times including restarting power BI.

 

Scroll bar appears on format optionsRemove a visual does not work even after restarting power BItoo many visuals does not trigger a scroll bar. cant see the drill thru options anymore

 

This means I cannot see all the visuals and I cannot see the Drill Thru menu options anymore which were at the bottom of the visualizations pane.
Very frustrating 😓

  • Is there anyway I can export my measures and dashboards?

    because I cannot access the fields and controls for continuing on this report.

    they are below the visual Icons...

     

    remove visuals button is not working, even after PC restart.

    Is there perhaps a folder in power bi desktop where I can manually delete the addons?

    Hi jitterbug777 ,

    What happend after you click the "Remove a visual"? Try to use tab from your keyboard until you can access the "..." button, then click "Enter" to select the "Remove a visual" option.

    If it not help, try to update or reinstall Power BI Desktop.

     

    Best regards,

    Nothing happens, the system doesnt respond, its like power BI doesnt have the processing capacity to open up the remove visuals window.

    Yes I updated today before trying this again.

    I can access it and click "remove a visual", I can hear the compuer whirring and churning to try and do it, but nothing happens.  Its windows 10 16GB RAM.

     

    A lot of buttons are not working when I open this file with all the visuals, Like when I click HELP > ABOUT, the window doesnt open to give me information.

     

    I had to open a new instance to collect the information >>
