Check this out from Power BI Ideas: It'd be great to be able to freeze a left-hand column in a table so users can scroll and keep track of what row they're looking at.  Excel allows us to freeze columns (and rows) for easier navigation.

The typical star-schema data model consists of a set of dimension tables, and a single fact table. The fact table holds measures such as Sales, Quantity, Units and more.

In the Power BI Matrix below I have put the product categories on Rows, Calendar Year on Columns and the measure [Total Sales] on Values. At this […]

In an earlier blog, we explored how comments are different from notes, and how many Power BI ‘commenting’ solutions in the market today are in fact just implementations of ‘notes’.   Power BI does provide a native, true, out-of-the-box commenting capability. It supports report-level and visual-level commenting including @mentions and collaborative conversations. However, data level commenting […]
