Power BI Service–New Look and Feel!!!

These is a new format for viewing dashboards/reports in the Power BI service. Luckily, you have a button to turn it on and off (for now).

I am glad to have the switch toggle in order to see the before and after. I am sure Microsoft is going in the right direction with this but it seems that blogs and books are going to have a problem adapting to the changes. Not sure how all that plays out, but I am sure it will smooth out after a couple of months.

New Features

Navigation has been moved to the side vertically with the ability to resize. There is more canvas for displaying reports.

There is additional information about the workspace and data like last refresh date. The icons and themes have been defaulted to something more appeasing to the eyes.

About a month ago, there were changes to the Filter experience. Now, the new experience is in the service with the addition of popups for filters.

The tool/action bar has been updated to the more frequently used buttons with a ellipse to get to the rest.

Start playing around with turning it on and off and enjoy the change (and more work to be done)!!!
