Welcome
back to this week’s edition of the Power BI blog series. This week, we look at the new Reference
labels.
Reference labels represents a new
versatile tool employed for adding custom labels to new cards, providing
relevant information, comparisons, key metrics, benchmarks, goals and more.
With Reference labels, end users will
have access to the following features:
- not only
can you Reference labels to your card visual, but you even add multiple data
fields to your Reference labels - with three
main components, namely Title, Value and Detail, you may also choose custom
content using a different data field or measure and apply various styles to
both Title and Value - extra
context is available for the Detail component, showing data from a single data
field well, but is also customisable with styles and colours - with an
active Divider, Reference labels have their own area where you can modify the
divider line and use colour to differentiate callout and Reference labels - Reference labels may have a horizontal or vertical
layout and can have custom spacing and padding too.
This feature may be found in one of
three ways:
- from the Visual
gallery on the Ribbon - by selecting ‘Build
a visual’ after right-clicking on the canvas, and then choosing the new slicer - by selecting new
slicer from the on-object dialog.
As a feature presently in Preview, you may
also toggle this feature preview on or off by looking under Options ->
Preview features -> Reference labels.
In the
meantime, please remember we offer training in Power BI which you can find out
