Hi,
When looking at the samples in Power BI, one in particular caught my attention. The Store category report sample. This report features controls that I didnt see in any other reports and I couldnt find out how to activate such control through my Power BI Desktop.
Can anyone suggest which tool was used to create the slider on the graph that can easily select the number of months to show ?

Thanks !
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Phil_Seamark No need to post an example! I use the Chiclet Slicer and if that's the only way I would use images.
However my point about the KPIs and I think that's why so many other people have voted for that Idea
This is basic functionality requiring only 3 to 5 icons
It has existed in PowerPivot (if I recall from the very beginning) - Why do I need to link to images to achieve this?
Appreciate any support on this topic ! I would really like to create a report like the attached !

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsI agree. From looking at that image, they all appear to be standard visuals. Make sure you have the latest version of Power BI Desktop downloaded. If you are still using a version from 6 months ago you may not have some of these.
Thanks for the replies guys......Well, most visuals are, but the graph period selector is not something I found anywhere !, I have reuploaded the image and highlighted the selector Im talking about. This slider can be easily adjusted left and right to select a period of multiple months. In all the graph visuals I tried in PBI Desktop, I couldnt find this one ?
@AyyW You didn't highlight the most important part of the picture though!

One thing I really want to be able to create inside PBI (not import from PowerPivot) are those KPIs
If @Seth_C_Bauer sees this post he probably could shed some light on this topic
SSRS Visuals vs PBI Visuals
@Sean thanks for clarifing ! So I guess those visuals can only be achieved through Power BI sql reporting services ? Thats a shame really !!
Some of the options in that report are really cool !, its unfortunate that they are not available for all platforms !
Hi @Sean
I think you can do those icons inside PBI Desktop. The rough logic from memory is to use the URL type and make sure you have the icons on some public URL, then you can dynamically decide which URL to surface depending on your formula.
I'll see if I can find an example
