Do you have got an outdated report created in 2016? If you happen to do, then you already know that the visuals’ fashion was fairly totally different again then. If you happen to don’t wish to see all visuals of their outdated fashion the place the headings overlap the opposite visuals and also you don’t know the best way to swap the visuals to their trendy fashion, then proceed studying. The next screenshot is from a really outdated report I constructed for a Energy BI demo in Feb 2016! Time flies mate!

If you’re an outdated Energy BI developer, you’ll be able to clearly bear in mind these days after we had many side-by-side slicers on the report canvas and generally it was onerous to click on a slicer as a result of hovering over the visuals prompts the visible frames and it’s straightforward to mistakenly click on a special visible.

The opposite subject with the outdated visible fashion is that the Visible Header choices of the Visualisations pane from the Format tab should not accessible for conventional visuals.

I see some builders don’t just like the outdated visible fashion. It’s fascinating that after we work on an outdated report, even when we open the report within the newest model of Energy BI Desktop, the visuals’ fashion stays the identical and it doesn’t change if we add new visuals to a brand new web page. Some builders undergo lots of ache to get the visuals to work within the trendy fashion. I even know some builders copied all queries from the outdated file’s Energy Question and pasted them to a brand new Energy BI file. Then they used Tabular Editor to repeat the tabular objects from the outdated report back to the brand new one. And a few even began to construct every part from scratch. If you’re a kind of builders, bear in mind that there’s a easy setting that may assist to shortly swap all of the outdated visuals to their new trendy fashion.
