Re: Stop Dataset refresh
I am upvoting. My concern may be slightly different, but based on the number of Refresh recommendations, I'm not the only one struggling. When I use the "Query Editor" to build new data sources or change queries, etc, it can take an hour to get all my data imported properly. When I hit "Close & Apply" to return to the report, it force an entire refresh of the stuff I just refreshed. I could report development a lot faster if I didn't have to do double refreshes all the time. Need option to allow report to use what it already has in the Query Editor so we can get to work.836Views0likes0CommentsRe: Show a Drillthru icon in table and matrix
Our reports often use the right-click Drillthrough option to take users to a new page (tab). This is most often done in the 'table' component. The problem is new users have no idea which tables/fields provide that next level of information. I would love for the table column header to include a small icon indicating that field is providing a drillthru capability. Then th user knows more info is available. pic... https://screencast.com/t/Ik0LW2MyH7F3248Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tooltips for buttons
I am upvoting this because I think it is what I am looking for. I often steal valuable real-estate in reports adding a text box to explain what user is looking at or what they can do within the report. All I want is the small (i) information button to allow me to enter some text that displays as a tooltip when user hovers or clicks on it. Poof... instant instruction manual for newbies.946Views0likes0Comments- 620Views0likes0Comments
Increase parameter allowable text length
I have dozens of customer DB's (mySQL in my case) that use the exact same table schema's. I create complex SQL statements and then let PowerBI retrieve the data for customer A in a table. Then I do it again for customer B DB and table, and so on. Then come the day I need to modify the SQL to get another field or change the where clause, etc. I have to update the query one at a time. Based on length of refresh, it can take over an hour. Aha!... let's just make the sql string a parameter and every customer can use the same parameter. If we change the value fo the parameter, they all will start using the modified query. Brilliant! Alas, the parameter Text type only takes ~64 characters. Can we up it to something like 1024 so we can use longer sql statements? Thanks!212Views1like2CommentsShow a Drillthru icon in table and matrix
