The Power View team is happy to announce the following updates to HTML5 and the Power BI app

Power View in HTML5 and the Power BI app now have these features:

  • Map drill-down works.
  • Line charts have tooltips.
  • Bar and column charts can show data labels.
  • Small multiples can contain maps.

Also, the Power BI app now includes the following updates (already in HTML5):

Maps

  • Maps can show multiple series of data, so not just dots but also pie charts of various sizes on maps.

Multiples

  • Sort order Multiples are in the order they were in when you last saved the report. You can’t change it in Power View in HTML5 or the Power BI app.
  • Highlighting Selecting values in multiples doesn’t highlight values in other visualizations, but selecting values in other visualizations highlights the same values in the multiples.
  • Drill down Doesn’t work in multiples in Power View in HTML5 or the Power BI app. Say a multiple has a drill-down field in a report.
    • If you drill down in the multiple in Excel and then save the report, in Power View in HTML5 and the Power BI app the multiple will be a gray box.
    • If you save the report without drilling down, Power View in HTML5 and the Power BI app display the multiples.
    • In Power View in HTML5 and the Power BI app you can’t drill down into multiples.

Fonts

Fonts match the font that you saved in the report in Excel.

Tiles with images

  • Tiles with images and text show images only, with text in a tooltip.
  • Tiles start all selected. You can select single tiles, but not multi-select them.
