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)
HI.
I always try to think positively about change. The new in-line hiearchy feature will bring possibilities that we didn't have before, but it is taking away some we already have and like.
I know many workarounds to solve the problem in my chart below, but I dont't have only one like this.
One problem I see is changing the Power BI Online Service in a way that the visuals start presenting different views and numbers is not a good practice. We are caught off guard in the middle of a presentation with numbers we are not expected to see... I mean numbers, because this new in-line hieararchy group information that previously where separated.
When releasing such a feature, I recommend making it in a way that the previous view is kept and we can have the new view if we like. It is not that hard. Imagine, in this case, a new Drill Down button is added that goes in-line hierarchy, but we stil have the expand all button behaving the same way before...
Now I have many charts to adjust to this new way of drill down.
I believe in features that add new options, but do not replace good options broadly used.
Please fix this, adding a new button to opt between normal or in-line drill down.
Thank you for your comment. Similar to what you have suggested, we are immediately working on a button that will preserve the old behavior and new separate button that will enable the new behavior. I can't promise an exact timeline at this point, but we have heard the feedback and consider this a super high priority. So, it will be soon. The new behavior, as a side comment, will improve in readability over time as well.
WoW! Super! Thanks!
zapppsr - this is you idea (two separated buttons) :smileyhappy:
Hi Tishchenko, thanks for the heads up!
Amanda, thank you for sharing the ideas of this post with Power BI Team.
LanceDelano, thank you for keeping us updated about the process of adjusting this nice features.
Adding a new button is really a good solution because we are going to benefit both ways of drill down: Hierarchycal and non-hierarchycal.
This type of feedback and response is what makes this an extraordinary community, which I'm glad to be part of.
Thank you again!
Hi!
I stumbled upon another undesired effect of the hierarchycal drill down.
When you go one drill down level for instance, the cross filter on other visuals will respect the highest hierarchy, not the current level.
Eg.:
First level City
Second level Product
The second level of the old drill down is Product. So if I drill down and have Product A and Product B, if I click in Product B on the chart, all visuals on that report will be filtered by Product B.
The second level of the hierarchycal drill down is City - Product. If I drill down I will have City 1 - Product A, City 1 - Product B. And here comes the undesired effect: If I click in City 1 - Product B, the visuals will be filtered by City 1, completelly ignoring Product B. (I found it out on the hardest way, in the middle of a presentation).
I'm adding this to be sure that this solution with two buttons, (one button keeping the old method) really keeps all funtionalities of the old method, including this one.
I really hope this is solved by next week.
Thanks again!
PS.: And by the way, I wouldn't mark this post as solved until it is delivered, at least in the Power BI Online Service.
