Introduction:
In September version of Desktop, some updates have been made compared with the August version, This blog is about the update introduction of multiple fields on the grouped x-axis.
When we have subcategories that are specific to individual category fields or sequential subcategories such as more granular dates, we can deal with this situation by grouped x-axis.
New features:
Expand to lowest level: When you add new field to the x-axis field, visual will be expanded to lowest level.
Concatenate labels: The September version of Concatenate labels option is disabled by default. When you turn on this option, the value in x-axis display with concatenate form.
In August version, this option is enabled by default, but this option does not take effect. If you want the value in x-axis display with concatenate form, you need drill down to lowest level manually.
September version :
August version :
Sort behavior : Sort the visual by the axis fields rather than by value fields .
Differences :
|
Behavior |
Defaults Before Sept 2022 |
Defaults After Sept 2022 |
|
Expand to lowest level |
Users must manually expand the visual when adding new fields in x-axis. |
Expand to lowest level automatically when : · the visual supports hierarchy axis · the axis is a categorical or datetime axis (note that numerical fields become categorical when they’re not the top level of a hierarchy) |
|
Concatenate labels |
On by default |
Off by default |
|
Sort behavior |
Sort by measure when the user has not explicitly set a sort. |
Sort by category when : · the visual supports hierarchy axis · when the visual is expanded down in any way · user has not explicitly set a sort · an authoring action is taken (like adding or removing a field; notably, not manually expanding the visual) Otherwise, sort by measure (or by user-set sort) |
