Additional Functionality in Monthly Data Set PowerReport

Below are a few ideas for additional functionality in the Monthly Data Set PowerReport.

1.  Add basic layout options such as 'Bring to Front' 'Send to Back' etc for objects and shapes.

2. Some visuals in the Monthly Data Set PowerReport have the option to format value fields to 'Show blank as'. For example, select Stacked Bar Chart visual, and under Format Your Visual > Data Labels > Value > Show Blank As.  It would be very usual to have this same option for the Card visual, under Callout value.

3. If a user has created a Data Type Group (for example,  'Σ Water (US Gallon)', it would be useful to have data fields for previous year comparison (similar to 'Energy PY in kWh') and variance comparison (similar to 'Energy Variance % in kWh' for the defined data type group.

    Hi @Guest , I have some answers to your queries here.


    1. There is a function available under the "View" menu at the top left, you can turn on the "Selection Pane" which is a list of all visuals currently being displayed on the page, and what order they are layered on the page.

    2. Microsoft have added a new feature to format text in visuals under the Format your Visual > General > Data Format menu. However the new card which have the "show blank as" values are not yet available in the embedded version, I expect they will be released soon.

    3. Variance fields for Mass, Volume, Distance and Area were released last month and are now available in reports.

    Hi @Guest


    The PowerReport is an embedded Microsoft product, as such we do not have control over the functionality provided and are unable to action points 1 and 2.

    For point 3, we are in the process of adding variance comparison values to the unit based fields.
