Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

Hi, If we could reduce the size of the tiles on the Dashboard to a smaller size, it would be a great addition to the visual appeal of the Dashboard as a whole. In the current property of the tiles, the minimum size of the tile looks big when the length of the text is small. This is the case with the image , text or any other tile pinned onto the dashboard. It would be helpful if this feature could be added.

Dashboards should be so much better than they are and this would definitely be a step in the right direction

Sparklines are central to dashboard visualisation. Use Case: As a "manager" I need "a dashboard with groupings of multiple sparklines" so that "I can understand performance trends at-a-glance". When I pin a small sparkline from my PowerBI report to my PowerBI Dashboard the sparkline tile is blown up to the to the size of a line chart? Result? I cannot use PowerBI as a Dashboard and use a PowerBI report instead.

better sizing would be great; in my experience I had a columned report and could not narrow the columns in a tile nor narrow the tile - it jumped between 2 sizes - either too wide or too narrow

I dont understand. it is shown on the tips and tricks page of the website but column width cannot be changed on the dashboard. can be modified in focus mode but does not change the main dashboard? im my case it pretty much renders my dashboard useless. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-dashboard-tiles/

it will be good to have the ability to sizing tile in the dashboard.

Wanted to vocally add my support to this idea. I too am frustrated with the size limitations. Many times I'm finding that the tile size is either too small or too big. We need to be able to adjust the tile sizes in smaller increments. This would help with dashboard layout and design. If I can make my dashboards better, my bosses will like them, and there will be further buy-in into the value of BI. Dashboards are the last step but might be the most important step. Please invest some time and resources into them.

It would be great to edit the dimension of Power BI dashboard tiles. Even the text boxes with few words on it are too wide and long which doesn't appear nice on the dashboard

It's a great addition, if we could resize the dashboard elements to smaller size whatever we need.

Adjustable tile sizes would be a real step forward.
