Enabling Fashionable Visible Types on Previous Studies in Energy BI Desktop

Do you’ve an previous report created in 2016? For those who do, then you recognize that the visuals’ model was fairly totally different again then. For those who don’t prefer to see all visuals of their previous model the place the headings overlap the opposite visuals and also you don’t know easy methods to swap the visuals to their trendy model, then proceed studying.

Some builders undergo lots of ache to get the visuals to work within the trendy model. I even know some builders copied all queries from the previous 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 previous report back to the brand new one. And a few even began to construct every thing from scratch. In case you are a kind of builders, bear in mind that there’s a easy setting that may assist to rapidly swap all of the previous visuals to their new trendy model.
