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

- When creating reports, it's really hard to align two different objects (charts or tables). Can we have a magnetic alignment helper?
- It will help us design better reports easily with the visual cues rather than second guessing the alignment
- If consumers are sent to the Reports from the dashboard, allow information creators to structure the information as per the dashboard with gridlines and snap too etc....
- Yes please! It's important to align all different controls in a dashboard, so any visual aids will be helpful.
- Great! Indeed, a kind of help like that of "sticky" objects in Powerpoint would be also very helpful

Agreed... Very important! - Absolutely essential, I spend ages trying to make sure the cards and charts all line up correctly where it should just be a quick drag.

It has nothing to do with excel, I want to be able to align the objects when I am doing a report in the power bi desktop, so they are organised when I click on the objects from the dashbaord. - TheMarthaAlignmet lines or design grid is also something I need
- Totally agree ... alignment is a must
