Power BI Update - December 2023 

The latest Power BI Desktop download is now available! You can download it from here: powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop/?WT.mc_id=Blog_Desktop_Update Version number: 2.124.1052.0 Dec Monthly Update Blog: powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-december-2023-feature-summary/

We hit a snag, and the build is delayed. Please keep an eye out when we announce the desktop download.

Glad to see that the "classic" option will be available alongside the on-object interaction option. I also appreciate additional in line educational resources, but maintain that those are only necessary because the new UI isn't intuitive.

Appreciate all the work that has gone into the on object formatting, but I still feel like the original panes options were superior. It's great that you are allowing people to choose, however the major issue I find is that "Collapse" doesn't truly collapse the pane, it closes it. Would love to see the pane collapse the way the "filter" pane does and the way the panes originally used to. I find atm that the panes close and then it's pretty much trial and error clicking buttons till I get the pane I need.

This version is awesome. As an enhancement, I think it would be beneficial to have a more generalized approach to conditional formatting. Not just for specific visuals or for certain use cases of visuals. For instance, when using the line and clustered column chart, there's no option for conditional formatting when multiple columns or lines are involved. Also, for slicers, there's no way to set default values in the classic version of the slicer. Thank you so much for the great work !

this was probably the best update of the year

10:04 It allows Field Parameters columns?

Thank you for listening, I will trying out the on object interaction with classic style.

Great video, finally more entertaining and engaging with us! Not just reading the slides !

Love the Power BI Add-in to PowerPoint 😍

What a lovely presentation style. Well done.

Good updates thanks. With the rise of Copilot, I am looking forward to more amazing updates from the Power BI team, especially on the design side, I foresee Figma like customization features. 😉

I noticed in the data pane that it looks like there is the ability to mark tables as favorites to push them to the top of the list, and at the 3:44 mark there is a view of the tables expanded which appears to allow favoriting of columns. Is that something I missed previously, or is it something that hasn't been released yet? I don't see any mention of it in the blog post.

I think that bar chart column outline setting is useless unless it can be connected to a fx(measure). I am just wandering what is page resolution set for the report in the back? There is lot of space for visuals. Deafault page size is different i guess. I am just courious

Fantastic updates! A question regarding sorting by value in a stacked column chart - will we be able to do the same thing with the legend?

Where is the link in the description for the update blog?

I think it would be helpful if you guys can place in the video description from what version is the update like Version: 2.123.742.0 Thanks for the awesome Job.

Looks awesome. I was dissappointed that there were no mention of bug fixes with the new slicer button - images displayed in servce but not on desktop; shared Sharepoint images are not visible by others; filter selections do not "stick" .... it was a mess. I'm hoping these are in-fact resolved.

on minute 12:42 power BI with power point, the check box with give people automatic access to this data doesn't show up , how to activate ?

Thank you for the video. Would you kindly advise how to setup Power BI Desktop to upload new versions automatically?

I think the download link is still giving nov 2023 desktop version

why not update more features for the power query area which I know Microsoft doing updates for power query, but it is a very powerful tool and super helpful. just an suggestion and idea if that is possible to update.

Where is the info about data activator? Is it no longer in preview mode only?

Wow! Tks! Hello ! Is there a working link for the December version?

Great update, some amazing features coming along. Btw, I enjoy the presentation of the update by Ryan as well, he does a great job, you all do!

Hello Microsoft I am not able to select preview features in my power bi desktop when I select the feature it gets deselect every time and in conditional formatting there is on ok and cancellation button plzz help how I can fix it

I am working on Drill through and unable to find the option to clear drill through.

such a refreshing edition of the monthly update!. no offense to the other guy - but he just read the slides and not well. these videos should mirror the quality of the Microsoft products it showcases.

Where can I download the pbix report used in this demo?

Great update, but I have a query. The December update intro was done 2 days ago, but still no ability to upgrade to the new version. What is the point?

Explained very clearly...thank you.

Thanks for the update look forward to trying this soon!

Can the pbix file of the demo van be shared?

Why is there no latest (December) version of PBI on the official website?

Nice video, but i was looking for new card and new filter video, could you please guide?

Is there any way to create repotee views eg if I select the managers name it should show the employee details of selected manager

In this version have a problem with show custom data label in gauge grafic

Yay no more slides lol but in all seriousness this was a great video with updates I can' wait to use.

Where can we download the pbix file?

Hi, please how do I find column tools in their new version

can't downloaded in another languange

When will Copilot become publicly available ? Quick measures suggestions and dashboard creation is still in a preview mode.

Make it easier sort the order of columns when a field with multiple values is in the columns

Didnt like the new onobject. My feeling is that things are loose and clutter the experience. Hopefully they keep the classic as option in the future.

Hasn’t wowed me this month! As in the release, nothing exciting

Excelente!

not bad

Fortunately this time we can Leave a Comment 😂, I think this dictatorship belongs to Ryan. by the way; why PBI Developers could not solve "Fonts problem", there is no option for use local fonts or Right to Left Languages Features?

Can someone @Microsoft get Amanda a better microphone / audio set up

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LOOK AT EXCEL AND DO THE SAME AND THEN INNOVATE, THE BASIC IN MANY THINGS IS NOT BEING DONE. THEY HIRED A FRONT-END WEB DEVELOPER TO MAKE THE SYSTEM. WHICH EXCEL DEVELOPERS SKILL IS JUST FOR THE SAME TOGETHER WITH A WEB-DEVELOPER. The presentation itself often had to use third-party visuals.
