Preview settings not showing up

Hello, I'm new to PBI and was wanting to add error bars to some of my bar charts. I have seen that this is a feature that must be enabled in "preview features". However, when i go into options settings/ settings there is no "preview settings" to click. From clicking the "about" icon it says i'm using Microsoft Power BI desktop version 2.105.1143.0 (64 bit) and the top of the screen says "Power BI desktop (May 2022).  

1. Is there a way for me to enable the "preview settings" so that i can enable the rror bar option?

2. If for some reason i can't are there any other workarounds for creating error bars inside of PBI desktop?

 

Thanks for any assistance you can provide. 

  • I see that you are using the power bi desktop for Report server

    this is why you cannot see the preview feature option cos it is not available for this type of version it is only available in the regular Power BI desktop

      Oh well that is unfortunate but that does explain it. By chance do you know any work arounds to include error bars in the absence of being able to use the preview features?
