Good morning,
I have a couple of older reports (from around 2017-18) which I now maintain with the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
What I see is the old visulisation version style, with the old header style (which was back then always on show) but I'd like them to be using the new header styles (with the hover-over header visual menu).
Is this possible without deleting the old visualisations?
I'm more curious than in need. But would be great if it could be done.
Kind regards,
Alan Tindall
@AJTindall73 , can you share some screenshots, what is the component? If the visual component is migrated new one, you should get a new one. But is the component is removed, you might have to replace
Hi @amitchandak
I guess what I'm saying is the report was built in a version of the desktop back in 2017 but I want it to convert it to be using the current desktop version's styles and commands.
As you can see from the above screen shot, the header takes up some of the room on the visual (as it used to back in 2017). I would like it to use the new version's style so the visual uses the spave and the header is a hover response.
I hope this makes sense?
Alan
