I know it's a one year old video but this is gold! The amount of tricks I've learned from this channel is just incredible!

I just built my very first power BI dashboard and I must say it was a very steep learning curve yet extremely satisfying once you get it. The basics are ok, but once you want to go fancy, like using bookmarks with trigger buttons, fancy tool tips that points to pages, or pop up windows and hidden slices, then the fun really begins. I dont know what I was doing with excel for all these years when Power BI had been installed on my laptop all these times lol. Still learning and will definitely give this trick a try.

This is a great tip, much cleaner than the way I used to create toggle buttons using 2 overlapping button images! Will definitely be implementing this in to future reports. Great video as usual Bas

good vid. if you're having issues with the unicode size and font try "ctrl" clicking on the toggle to trigger changes. you may also need to set the states to different states and ctrl click to trigger. glitchy pbi

[chriskeo]

Why can't I resize ? I selected the font size exactly as you did but it doesn't resize in anyway

[catherinegould]

This is a great tip - I will be using nav groups in the future, a tip for you... save yourself alot of formatting fiddaling, select Pill shape and 0 px boarder padding

Hello, I've been on the BI landscape for a long time, but I'm just a beginner into Power BI world. I can say that your videos are a motivational source of inspiration to look for not-so-plain-not-so-funny reports/dashboards :) I'm sharing with my team, too. Thanks!

Great tip, as always! I’ve always used multiple images to achieve this, and getting the image with the exact size and colour for every project can be time consuming. This is definitely super efficient especially for mockups to present different options to end user before actually building the full report.

[magorzatatomkowicz]

Great idea, Bas. I am always amazed at how you make these all tricks with visuals. Your videos are very inspiring. I did the toggle button as you showed in this video, but somehow I can't read off some very thin border around the border. The border color is the background color I chose for the button.

These tutorials are excellent, but it does highlight so many shortcomings in Power BI that could be very easily resolved by the developers.

After pasting the circle in place of Toggle ON, the size of the circle is not increasing. Kept the state as "Default" but no change in size.

Hi Bas, as you may have noticed from multiple comments, the toggle text is not resizing and actually not even switching between 2 states. Maybe you can help us troubleshoot this issue. Thanks.

Something to be aware of is that not all Unicode characters are supported on Mac. So if you have users that will consume reports on a Mac then make sure you select a Unicode character supported on both Windows and Mac.

[cornishlee]

Brilliant video, thank you Bas. One question though… I can’t resize the unichar for some reason? The number changes when I type it in but the symbol remains the same size?! Any ideas? Thank you.

[claudiozadorosny]

Amazing video, but I had problems with paddling. The bottom one just refused to work, so moving up the circle is looking impossible. Any solutions?

[sarveshdeshpande]

I liked the idea Bas, but I have used two images for on and off toggle that i created on powerpoint. Images seems to be much easier way. Your way is also awesome. Thanks for this video 😃👍

[adamblake]

For anyone having resizing issues, try clicking the button and selecting an unselecting. This got my sizing to take.

[ozkandhont]

Love the creativity behind this toggle button!

[zhenqin]

that is a very neat and creative way to create toggle button without overlaying images. bravo!

[LifeNFood]

How do we add text on off to the same please suggest something
