How to visualize Finger Cursor to clickable slicers and charts

Hi everyone,

 

Is it possible to have a "finger cursor" to all clickable items in the Power BI such as charts and filter slicers? 

 

For now, I can see the "finger cursor" is enabled when it is hover to date slicer and buttons i.e. Clear All Filters, Back and Bookmark buttons. However, when we hover to a dropdown slicer or a chart that is clickable, the cursor does not change and remain as it is. Below is the type of cursors and scenarios that I'm referring to (highlighted in red box):

Any means to change the cursor to "Finger cursor" to all clickable items?

 

Your kind support is highly appreciated.

 

Tqvm in advance.

 

Regards.

Hi  @AizatHashim ,

 

Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to customize this behavior within Power BI. However, you can provide feedback to the Power BI team through their UserVoice forum to request this feature. They often consider user feedback for future updates and improvements.

 

However, you can try some workarounds:

  • You can use buttons instead of slicers or charts and customize their shape, icon, fill, title, and action. Buttons have the finger cursor by default when you hover over them.
  • Change mouse appearance in windows.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I believe the workarounds would be more complicated to implement and it would not entirely serve my full intention.

 

Nevertheless, as per your suggestion, I have drop my idea in the Microsoft Idea site. Hope it gets high votes and Microsoft team can consider of implementing this idea.

 

Thanks again for your feedback Neeko Tang.
