Add alignment, positioning and sizing controls for Power BI/View report designers

[pedro8]

I think this is a must not only for Power BI designers (the online one and the desktop one), but also the Power View designers (both SharePoint and Excel). We need the ability to be able to align, resize and distribute components in a dashboard/sheet. I mean the controls we normally find with office tools such as: * Alignment: Align left, right, top, bottom, centre, middle. Distribute horizontally and vertically. Snap to grid, view gridlines, set gridlines, etc. * Positioning: Being able to see and specify x and y coordinates for objects. * Sizing: Specify height and width values. I feel these requirements are long overdue since the initial release of Power View years ago.

It appears that measures are always right-aligned. CONCATENATEX(VALUES(...)) should be left-aligned by default at the very least.

This would save me so much time!!! Would be very nice for all those perfectionists out there.

Excel does great job giving us control over positioning, grid. PowerPoint gives us line where everything else falls, so we can align with rest of the charts/text, etc.

Provide the ability to align visuals with each other on the canvas in the same way that you can align shapes in Excel or PPT

Would like to have some 'Grid ruler' features and snap to grid.

May have been said before but highlighting things that I would like to see: a. Grid & Snap-to-Grid b. Object and Text Alignment (Right, Left, Justify etc.) c. Fonts and Sizes for Widget Titles d. Widget Placement e. And other generic tools and options to make a dashboard/report visually & aesthetically appealing.

Alignment is a great idea, but also the possibility to view/edit the dimensions of the visualisation frame area.

A minimum bar on this would be to have boxes around objects so that they can be aligned and then turned off.
