A really great visualisation - exactly what stakeholders want - no need to read, simply assimilate the dots!

Thanks as always, Patrick!

[vinciallen-steward]

Brilliant! And that whole "emoji" trick. OMG! Mind blown; will save so much time! Thanks, Patrick!!

[rigobertogarcia]

Wow, Patrick, it's really fantastic and the way you present it makes it perfectly understandable and easy to put into practice.
Thank you very much for sharing

I do think this will provide great insights within one visual instead of cluttering a dashboard with multiple visuals just to show the user what they want.

[Fernando_Calero]

Great, thanks! For accessibility purposes a triangle facing upwards or downwards would help besides the color.

Love this! Going to use it today!! 🎉🎉🎉

Nice new features around adding fields on custom labels and maybe other parts of the report.
Thanks for this video, can't wait to try that :)

Nice improvement but need to have ability to do line break

[thomasivarsson]

That was built into SSAS MD since 2005. Good that this is know possible in Power BI.

Great visualisation. I guess the only limiting factor is the available symbols. For example I am creating a cost management report and would like to be able to use a green down arrow and a red up arrow. These down exist in the symbol directory. Do you have any ideas on how I could achieve this please?

[mihirpatel]

Finally, waiting for this feature for so long. Is ot going to be available for all chart types?

[flavia]

Amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing it :)

[ryanhall]

Hey Patrick, is there a green arrow up emoji for data labels?

[RahulKumar-vwm]

how to overcome the breaking of line that is used for showing cumulative target month wise.(the line is broken for the month where the sale is zero) but the target is 10k for each month

[olenalipsha]

Thank you! Could you please let me know how can i add a break line between two strings for my data labels ?
Unfortunately with UNICHAR(10) it does not work

[abdullahishaque]

Hi, i need a help! Please explain how to add picture in bubble description in Map ?

[luisfernandomacedo]

Patrick, what if we wanted to place values on top of the icons?

[coollehavre]

Hi, how could you display the label on X axis on vertical ?

[stinaintx]

Looks great on desktop but when I publish it is code and not the emoji.

good idea! but not the colors: 8% of males have red - green - issues. "red - blue" would be better, and different shapes (arrow up, arrow down, whatever)
this channel here is really great, I love your videos!
