Support for multi-monitor in Power BI Desktop

Submitted by on ‎04-04-2020 05:56 AM
When you develop complex data models and reports, it's common to switch frequently back and forth between the Report, Data and Model views. Having support for multiple monitors would enable to Power BI developers to use secondary (or third) monitor to simultaneously and seamlessly work across these views.

Ability to have multiple windows open for one document, just like Excel. Excel - View tab, "New Window" This function will save some headache while manipulating with the data, and having to click back forth between the tables or even the relationships.

Is it possible for Power BI to support multiple Windows (screens). Imagine two screens side by side with Visuals on each screen. And have selections on one visual apply filters to other visual. Also have drag and drop from one screen to other screen.

With the ability to detach Formula editor from main window it would be easier to work with multiple monitors, Maybe something similar to SQL Server Management Studio SSAS DAX editor.

Will save a lot of time. I do a Snipping for relations screen and have an Excel with the tables when I do mesures.

Yes please. After working a lot with power pivot, which is open in a separate window allowing me to have excel open at the same time, it feels really frustrating to be stuck in one window. 1. In Power Pivot I can keep working with the reports while data is being updated to power pivot. In Power BI, everything is put on hold while waiting for data to be updated. 2. In Power Pivot, since I have the report (Excel) window open parallell to the data window, it's easier for me to see the needs from the report and the effect in the report from the changes I do in the model. Would love for this to be implemented.
