Managing Complex Tables in Power BI Just Got Easier  

 1. Advanced Table Capabilities 

1.1. Logically group columns to create visual hierarchies with expand/collapse functionality for better organization. Pin columns for easier navigation of wide tables and to benchmark measures for comparisons.  

In the demo report, we’ve categorized related measures into clearly defined groups like profitability, projections, and sales, simplifying report analysis. 

1.2. With the Top N feature, you can instantly rank your data, like in our sample report, where we showcase the top 25 products by revenue from a list of 880 products.

1.3. Measures like COGS or operating expenses need to be inverted to indicate that they are outflows or business costs in financial reporting. You can easily invert data with Premium Table - select any row, cell, or column to invert values with zero DAX. 

1.4. Use the Blend feature to directly compare measures by merging them into one column for efficient cross-measure analysis. 

2. Formatting & Visual Presentation 

2.1. Highlight key metrics using cell-level formatting with custom fonts, colors, and background fills. 

2.2. Create insightful reports with single-click conditional formatting tools like color scales, classifications, action analysis, and data bars. You can also define custom conditional formatting rules driven by your data. 

2.3. Control data visibility through abstraction—hide or unhide values, rows, and measures to mask irrelevant details and draw focus to the metrics that actually matter. 

2.4. Bring your data to life with in-cell visualizations - bar charts, lollipops, bullets, and waterfalls built right into your table. 

2.5. Number formatting is crucial in making your reports easy to interpret. Proper formatting (e.g., commas, decimals, currency symbols, and suffixes) enhances the readability of reports by making complex numbers more comprehensible. Premium Table ships with custom number formatting options with dynamic scaling at measure level. 

3. Data Input & Calculation

• Single-click formulas for faster report development 

3.2. Premium Table is built with configurable distribution methods for numeric data entry, ideal for budget and forecast allocation. 

3.3. Data is often recorded at a granular level, per transaction, per customer, per day. With Inforiver Premium Table, you can use different aggregation methods to summarize raw data into meaningful metrics like monthly revenue, average sales, or total expenses.  

 4. Notes and Annotations
