Switch Theme button missing from ribbon

Hi,

 

I read that theme switching would be available in the March update.  I am running 2.44.4675.521 64-bit (March 2017), but I don't see the button in the ribbon. De-install/re-install didn't do the trick either.

 

Am I missing something? (except for the button Smiley Very Happy )

 

Thanks,

 

Rudi

Have you enabled it in the Preview Features?

Hi.  I do not have the "Preview Features" in Options.  Does anyone know why would that be?

Hi,

 

I have the same issue I don't see that choice in the ribbon list . Is this normal? anybody has a suggestion ?

@Phil_Seamark,

 

I wasn't aware I had to enable it. I did look in the preview settings on a gut feeling, but missed it completely anyway.

 

Thanks,

 

Rudi

Please enable this option:

Power BI Desktop--> File --> Options and Settings --> Options --> Preview Features--> Check the option 'Custom Report Themes'.

 

After enabling this option, restart Power BI.

It should work.
