What I hate about Power BI is how much effort you got to go through to create something that looks so simple in this modern world. You spend hours changing loads of settings to do things like this and when someone looks at it, they will assume this is just a standard feature and not be impressed. Only Power BI users know the struggle and the amount of effort it takes to make something look decent.

[@thatgoanguy4427]

I feel u brother😢

[@tonnaboy10]

Was the same with SSRS too 😫

[@jray1429]

Sometimes I wonder if they have a lot of these features and updates already completed and are just slowly releasing it. Tableau does some things in a funky way too. It has its own quirkiness. They definitely operate differently, both have their strengths and weaknesses. I use both.

[@ngontran]

I reckon. Don’t understand why Microsoft won’t make it for us as developers, so we don’t have to go through a heavy customisation process like this. 😅 However, thanks to this channel, I found a lot of useful tips and tricks to help me make my dashboard looks awesome

[@iwalwila]

Now think about programmers 😉

I find myself drawn to this channel, unable to resist the temptation to watch video after video. The level of skill demonstrated is truly captivating, and I appreciate the generosity in sharing such valuable knowledge. Thank you for this enriching experience.

The quality of your videos is next level - from the content to the editing - everything is top quality. Thanks.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

thank you David! That's really nice to hear 😊

[@omarbn92]

Amazing how creative and quick you can implement new PBI releases as use cases. You are the best !

[@robmooney1941]

I overlayed a transparent button slicer on top of the new card visual to make data card slicers. The accent bar for selected value on the slicer made it a nice touch! Thanks for the videos Bas you put out great content

Great video! Thank you for your time on these. I have a slicer visual with 5 buttons, and 2 of the 5 buttons I need to highlight individually. Do you have ideas on how to highlight? I am trying to highlight 2 buttons bright Orange based off the name, "Product X" and "Product Y" for a client, any ideas????

[@mustafaragab4400]

Hi Bas, Amazing work as always, on a different topic I am wondering is there any way we can move grand total column to left in Matrix visual?

[@user-ib9mp5ff3q]

BAS, thank you so much for your videos. Just super useful material. Could you advise, is there any universal way to show data of Topn and Others without having to create many additional tables for each table with an additional row Others?

[@user-lp9yt6kk8r]

Thanks Bas, your videos and knowledge is really awesome ! I always watch your videos and appreciate your presentation skills !. Button visual slicer is really great, I like image feature and high level of customization we have. One thing I noticed though is the slicer doesn't keep your selection when you come back to it from another page (on which we don't have it). Do you have any suggestion on how to handle this issue.

[@davidm00ris]

Great examples to highlight the capabilities. Thanks!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Great video! I'd like to you this with bookmarks, like clicking on toggle would show another chart, but it would require a slightly different approach. I also noticed that I can't filter out bookmarks from the bookmark navigator since the new update.

[@findthetruth3021]

Hi, I have a very difficult question and I searched through the Google and chatgpt and everywhere but couldn't find a solution for that. I have an idea to combine two different maps one is going to be in shape file and the other one is going to be point map. So my idea is to make the background of the point map transparent and only leave the points by latitude and longitude so that I can make a group of points by latitude and longitud with the shaple file map and putting the points by latitude and longitud over the shape file. Finally, make them on group which will appear like that I have both shaple file plus points by latitude and longitud together. But until now I couldn't find a solution how to remove or make the point map background transparent or without having any colour except the points by latitude and longitud. Please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

[@rafaelsokol8425]

Thanks, very helpful, and interesting. Only one small problem: I have my images in SharePoint folder, and I can't get it to work. Should I change the link different than in this video (raw=1)?

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@SergiyVakshul]

Hi, Bas. The approach when Category slicer narrows down SubCategory slicer’s values has a negative side effect. When you change Category_1 to Category_2 the previously applied SubCategoy_1 filters still stay applied. That’s why your chart looks like there is no data when Category is changed.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

thats true - would b nice to have some "clear other slicer on switch" functionality

[@wilconagtzaam587]

Great video Bas as always! I know there are still many improvements to make, I can tell you a lot more improvements for the slicer are in the pipeline for the coming months!

[@juanignacioXI]

This is amazing Bas!! super valuable video, thanks a lot sir.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

😁😊 thanks!

[@jadwiga8759]

Bas, is there any way to force selection on a slicer NOT set to single-select? For context, I added a field parameter to my report to enable users to choose columns shown in a table -- unfortunately when they open the report the button slicer is by default set to select(or deselect?) all options, making the table too big to load, resulting in a lot of frustration from business. If I select any one option from the slicer, the table loads instantly so I'd like to set it by default that 1 selection -- is using a bookmark with 1st option selected my only option?

[@dominiksch4928]

your content is btw exceptionally good as usual. thanks a lot

HI Bas, if I take the link from my microsft one drive, what should I change in the link?

[@emilygeorge1452]

Do you still need to use the same raw statement if you’re taking the url link from one drive instead of drop box?

[@user-sh3md4gg2q]

As usual Awesome!! I have a doubt!! Is that possible to add the images from local path?

[@HowtoPowerBI]

thank you! no, that's not possible

This was an excellent clip however I can't get the image url to read from my one drive business folder. Can you please help?

[@jenniferdustin8214]

I love this! Any idea if they are going to give us this functionality with Nav? Or a way to use a slicer instead of bookmark navigator?

[@HowtoPowerBI]

I think to trigger page navigation actions you would need to rely on the bookmark nav

[@Acheiropoietos]

Thought so, oh well. Another great presentation Bas!

[@alicedwonderland7733]

Bas, of course, fantastic video! Found a bug with the slicer though, just when I was ready to push it to prod. Say you have one (using your first example) in multiple pages, and they are synced. Also say that only one value (out of, for example, five) is selected by default... Unfortunately, it will automatically jump to selected them all after moving between the tabs a few times. Also, in the online version, the 'reset filters' icon stops working. Like, you keep clicking it, and it does not reset. Had to back out...

[@Guillaume128]

Yeah so frustrating… Many users reported thoses slicers sync issues in the dev blog comments, let’s hope they fix it as soon as possible…

[@alicedwonderland7733]

@@Guillaume128 just realized I stopped thinking about this feature after this bug prevented me to use it in the first place. This has to be a warning for us - make great reports and, above all, address ALL early bugs asap, or else people will not start to use them and forget about them.

[@ngeraidine]

Master, as you did to place the images in the botal, you could use the expression DAX allselect instead of MAX ?

[@HowtoPowerBI]

no, max returns here the selected item. allselected serves a different purpose, it would return all values in a column.

[@ngeraidine]

@@HowtoPowerBII wrote the word, que correct expression DAX is SELECT VALUE. is it works too? Rugs from Brazil

Hi. first of all I would to congratulate for your channel and for your videos. I need to create a dashboard with this flow: 1. the user opens the dashboard and finds a menu where he sets several parameters such as a date picker parameters, a dropdown menu etc. 2. click the "GO" button and the query starts which extracts the data with the query set by the user's setting 3. Once the upload is complete, the user can move to the page where he can analyze the data just downloaded. Is it possible to do this with Power BI? How? Thanks

[@dylanbuckley8480]

If I was the ceo of Microsoft the first thing I would do is spend a billion dollars and buy Framer. I would take the tech and hire a bunch of UI designers and transform excel, Bi and PP into a modern package. Then I would roll out a full Microsoft store for low priced components to add to your designs. You could sell everything from macros to buttons and make your entire portfolio drag and drop.
