change graph chart in published report

[hespinoza]

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to change the graph chart after publishing a report?  For example, a user is looking at a report and he/she would like to change the graph from a bar chart to a line graph, or to a pie chart.  I did a quick look and it seems that the only way to do that is to create a new visual.

Thank you all.

Hi  @hespinoza ,

Agree with what have suggested by @Anand24 ,once you have granted the edit permission of the underlying dataset,the user can easily change the graph to any type of visual.

See the reference here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-datasets-build-permissions

 
Best Regards,

Hi @hespinoza ,

The user can simply edit the report you published and change the graph type. Once you publish the report and provide access to the user, they can easilty edit from Services with the edit option provided. Users can change graph type, create new visualizations, edit existing visualiazations, insert lines and carry lot more functionalities just like developers do from pbix file.

This is simply called self-service capability and Power BI thoroughly supports it.

Yeah, I'd use a combination of bookmarks and visuals. 

You can set up bookmarks to show and hide certain visuals when various buttons are pushed. So you'd just overlay Visual A onto Visual B. It's pretty straight forward to set up. The following video will give you a nice walkthrough.
