How to disable the automatic inline hierarchy???
Thanks LanceDelano! Seems, last service build 13.0.1605.489 works exactly as you promised!
But i'm have some question about buttons image quality. (see picture. This screenshot was made from Edge with 200% zoom)
Couple thoughts and solutions on this topic…
- Consider changing from Column to Line chart. Line chart will use the continuous axis even if you use hierarchies and also now support drill and expand capabilities. Continues axis support for Column chart will be coming soon.
- You can switch from using the Hierarchy to Date Field per visual in the Field list. You can do this by clicking on the chevron next to the date field.
- We are working on improving the labels for categorical hierarchy mode on Column and Line charts. They will be nested without repeating of same text. Expect this soon.
Let me know if this helps!

Alex,
Thank you for the suggestion but unfortunetly that doesn't really help I believe.
- This would require changing Multiple reports and training users on new functionallity as well line charts don't always make sense for what we need to convey.
- The problem is associated with more than just date fields. If I have text fields for Distributor, rep and customer I'm not using any hierarchy function. The chart is unreadable when we drill down.
- While I'm sure everyone apprecitate the constant improvments this is a real issue that has rendered many of my current reports and charts unreadable. This shouldn't have been a default update that changed previously built visuals. I really should have been an option for each visual or something of that magnitude.
I've logged this as an issue at the below address and hope we can expedite this as much as possible. Thank for you consideration.
I couldn't agree more with Mike. We should not have to do a workaround that isn't as insightful for something that was already perfect and suited out needs. I too hope that this fix is expedited and the service can be changed back this weekend. I will reiterate that this is a function that users should have control over whether to use or not. I was demonstrating the expand functionality in a presentation yesterday and was railroaded by the un-readability that this unexpected change brought. What should have warrented a "wow" instead wound up with me apologizing for the product.
Thanks Mike. We understand the issue and looking for options of resolving this quickly. Stay tuned...
Thanks,
Alex.
Any updates on when this might be resolved? It has brought nearly my entire barage of reports to a standstill. They WERE working beautifully- now, just ugly cluttered garbage. A 'toggle' would be great!
Any updates on WHEN this might be resolved? My entire barage of reports has been reduced to ugly cluttered garbage. A 'toggle' would be wonderful! I need to decide whether or not to wait it out, or start building separate, replacement views- (a HUGE undertaking), so any update would be fantastic...... sounds like MANY are affected by this. Thanks.
I want to ensure everybody that we are working hard on this problem! There are some design and experience challenges that we ran into but they all resolved at this point. We are at the stage of testing the solution and we hope to roll out the new Desktop and Service update soon.
Alex.
