Data view - how to increase font size for accessibility

Hi, I want to increase the font size in data view, I am trying to create reports, but struggling with reading the column headers and content in data view due to the font size.  How do I increase it? Surely accessibility should apply to developers of reports as well as those using the reports?

Hi, sorry, I thin kyou've misunderstood: I don't have a visualisations pane in data view, only in report view; it's the font size in data view that I can't change, not the reports.

Hello @SJH,

 

Yes, you can increase the font size in the Data View in Power BI.

 

1. Select the Data View in the left-hand pane of the Power BI desktop.

2. In the Visualizations pane on the right-hand side, click the ellipsis (...) next to the Fields header.

3. In the dropdown menu, select Text Size and choose the font size that you prefer.

4. If you want to change the font size of the column headers specifically, select the Data View, click the Format button in the Visualizations pane, and expand the Column Headers section. Here, you can adjust the font size and style.
