Epic idea: New card visual
The current card visual forces users to overlap elements or waste copious amounts of time creating custom visuals. The new card feature should give users the ability to create multiple cards in a single container and provide a greater level of customization.85KViews5400likes426CommentsEpic idea: Enhanced treemap hierarchies
Introducing support for small multiples and groups in treemaps could provide a much-needed solution to the current lack of options for displaying hierarchy levels, thereby enabling more advanced hierarchical analysis. This proposed idea, coupled with the addition of multiple formatting settings to improve visual readability and interactivity, could dramatically change the way report creators convey complex information and insights, eliminating the need for alternative options or custom visuals.1.2KViews31likes1CommentEpic idea: Personalized tabular navigations
When report creators are navigating large amounts of data, the discomfort they experience is largely due to the lack of formatting settings and options that could be alleviated by implementing a new idea. This concept involves introducing a pagination system for the Matrix visual, which would replace scrolling, plus offer customization of formatting settings, and provide parameters for controlling the application of pagination and scrolling.557Views41likes2CommentsEpic idea: Sliding style enhancements
It would be a great idea to introduce slice formatting settings such as transparency outline, accent line, explosion, and erosion, because it could revolutionize the way report creators use pie and doughnut charts, making them more appealing and flexible. This innovation would address the industry's reluctance to use these charts due to their limited style control and effectiveness in conveying information.651Views26likes2CommentsEpic idea: Improved legend for pie and donut charts
The current state of legends in pie and doughnut charts is seen as outdated and rigid, making them less appealing to report creators when compared to Cartesians. To rectify this, it would be beneficial to extend all legend enhancements provided to Cartesians to pie and doughnut charts, thereby ensuring a consistent style and experience.524Views30likes1CommentEpic idea: Pie chart callout
Despite the advancements in data labels used by Cartesians, report creators are still reliant on cards for placing callout values in the center of doughnut charts due to the absence of modern alternatives. To address this, it would be beneficial to extend all enhancements of Cartesian data labels to pie and doughnut charts and introduce a callout component, providing more customization options for chart personalization.558Views50likes1CommentEpic idea: Hierarchy support for pie and donut charts
It would be worthwhile to enable pie and doughnut charts for visualizing multiple category levels, with legends and labels supporting all visual components, because it could significantly enhance their analytical capabilities. This improvement could address the current issue of the broken drill mode in these charts, which has led to many report creators abandoning their use.939Views39likes2CommentsEpic idea: Hide, show, expand, and collapse tabular columns
It would be beneficial to incorporate features from Pivot tables that allow for the expansion and collapse of columns and hierarchical column groups within tabular visuals. This would not only solve the current limitations of matrices but also provide report creators with the flexibility to hide and show rows and columns, saving these settings for future use, thus eliminating the need to scroll through irrelevant data.43KViews5344likes95CommentsEpic idea: Legends with bars
The industry’s discouragement of pie and doughnut charts due to the human brain’s difficulty in comparing sizes in a circular format overlooks the unique benefits these visuals can offer. To address this, it would be conducive to introduce legends with bars into pie and doughnut charts, enhancing their functionality and making them a compelling visual tool, even allowing for the visualization of categories grouped into the ‘other’ bucket without interaction.916Views29likes1CommentEpic idea: Treemap's blocks style enhancements
By enhancing blocks in Power BI's treemaps with a variety of advanced formatting settings, designed specifically for treemaps, it would significantly improve visual appearance and cognitive accessibility. This idea addresses current limitations of treemaps, often appearing weak compared to other tools and causing report creators to seek alternatives.446Views20likes1Comment
