Automatic Inline Hierarchy Causing Unreadable Charts
A Recent update to the online service has changed the way fields are displayed when using the drilling down all functionality. For my scenario I have distributors, reps and customers. When I use the drill down all function the chart now shows distributor rep customer all in one line. This is way too much text for a chart and we don't need this functionality for this chart. This issue doesn't happen in desktop but only when I publish to the web. Please help i'm getting multiple complaints on this topic. For more info and other users having similar issues you can see the ideas forum link below. The user zapppsr has a good recommendation I believe would be the best. http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/How-to-disable-the-automatic-inline-hierarchy/m-p/62180#M12153

- chassImpactful IndividualAlex, Thanks for jumping on this! Chuck
- rogerstkRegular VisitorThis issue was started since yestarday... Unfortunatelly, I could barely acces to this forum today. Thanks!
- s_biniNew MemberChoosing to activate or not inline hierarchy should be an option in the format menu of the visual. In addition, new features should not be applied by default, because they could potentially introduce breaking changes. I have an important report which is not usable anymore because of inline hierarchy.
- mulroys1New MemberThanks for posting this Mike. I have the same frustration and expect the same complaints in the morning. Even though there are still many exciting new developments with the product every month, we all are live with data and are trying to get user adoption so we can't have shifting sands like this!
- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberPlease fix this, adding the possibility to do both types of Drill Down: Normal Expand All and In-Line Hierarchy.
- fbcideas_migusrNew MemberHi All, We are looking into this now and will look at ways to improve this experience soon. I'll reply back when I have an update for you.
- ivastardNew MemberHi Team, Thank you for your continuous efforts in enriching power bi with new features and your prompt escalation of this significant issue. We are looking forward to your immediate actions to solve it asap, as we keep receiving complaints from our clients both in Power Bi Service & Desktop apps.
- tarunrelhanNew MemberHi Alex, Need this resolved as soon as possible, we have reports which are being used by the president of the company and this change has really messed things for us
- tkadukNew MemberAmanda, Can you just unroll the changes NOW, and then figure out a better way LATER? If you are not sure how to make this better, just get it back to where it has been before. I've got 25 executives who are not able to use their dashboards because of this "improvement"
- tkadukNew MemberAll of my dashboards are messed up now! Any chance to maybe fix this ASAP?
