Visualisation pane missing

Hi

I used to be able to access to the Visualisation Pane > and the 3 icons (e.g. format visual) but I am not able to see it now.

 

This is what I think I am missing

The following image is from my PBI Desktop. I can't seem to find the visualisation pane.

FYI: I am running Power BI Desktop on Windows 11 and it is running on Parallel Desktop on my MacBook Pro 14 (Apple M1 chip).

 

Thanks for helping.

 

Regards,

James

Hi @jameshoty 

 

The 3 icons icon visualization pane has been updated in the newer version. The new Format pane and on-object interaction with visuals is the default experience in Power BI Desktop after updates. This means the Visualizations pane has been redesigned and its functionality has been moved to on-object menus and the Format pane.


To revert to the old visualization follow this earlier solution:

Hope this helps!!
