Welcome
back to this week’s edition of the Power BI blog series. This week, we look at some of the latest
updates made in assisting you edit your data model in Power BI Service.
Of course you have been able to edit
your data model in Power BI Service before now.
However, there has been a raft of changes made recently and we though t
it was time to take a timely look.
Autodetect Relationships
Creating relationships for your semantic (data) model
on the web is now easier using autodetect relationships. Simply go to the Home tab on the Ribbon and
select the ‘Manage relationships’ dialog. Then, choose ‘Autodetect’ and let Power BI
find and create relationships for you.
Sort by Column
Within the web, you can now edit the
sort by property for a column in your semantic model.
Row Level Security
Microsoft has made several improvements
to the Row Level Security (RLS) editor in the web. In the DAX editor you can now perform the
following actions:
- use IntelliSense to
assist in defining your DAX expression - verify the validity
of your DAX expression by clicking the check button - revert changes to
your DAX expression by selecting the X button.
Undo / Redo, Clear all, and New filter
cards in Explore
This update adds a few new features to
the new Explore experience.
Undo / Redo
Now it’s simple to undo your previous
action or use the ‘Reset all changes’ to go back to the last save state of your
exploration. Do note though that if you
haven’t saved your exploration yet, then reset will clear your canvas back to
blank. Be careful!
Clear All
The new ‘clear all’ feature allows you
to wipe your canvas back to blank. This
works great when using Explore as a whiteboarding space. This is made simple with the new ‘clear all’
option.
New Filter Card Styling
When using the filtering experience in
Explore you’ll now notice an update to the Filter cards style and readability.
