Turning off Suggest a visual
Hi swebster ,
Based on your description, the prompt box you mentioned suggesting a visualization is related to a PREVIEW feature on-object interaction. When you choose to use this feature it will automatically display the visualization checkbox on your visualization. The intent is to make it easier for the user to quickly select the visualization you need to build the report. If you want to disable this checkbox, you can do so by clicking the “x” button if you want to keep the on-object interaction feature. A more radical approach would be to disable the on-object interaction feature directly, you can uncheck File > Options and settings > Options > Preview Features > On-object interaction. Before doing this, please save your original report, as it will only take effect when you restart power bi desktop.

swebster Are you referring to when you click on a column or measure and it automatically picks a visual? I generally start with the visual I want and then add data to it.
Greg_Deckler I think the original poster is talking about the "suggest a visual" feature that is part of the new on object interaction option. The suggest a visual feature is very annoying because it pops up everytime you bring in new data to a visual...they need to have a way to "opt out" of that particular feature of the on object interaction.
