I don’t just like the chart title which is “Rely of displayName”. For those who click on on the Format tab from Visualisation pane you’ll see there is no such thing as a format settings for one of these chart. Though you can not change the chart title from Energy BI Desktop you’ll be able to change it once you printed it to Energy BI Web site. I’ll clarify methods to this later on this submit.

For those who don’t wish to publish the report back to the Energy BI Web site for now, a workaround is to rename the corresponding column to one thing extra significant.

I personally don’t suppose renaming the column is the fitting option to modify the chart’s title. So I hope Microsoft provides this characteristic within the subsequent variations of the product.

As you’ll be able to see, we are literally modifying a “Tile Title” not a chart title. Every area on the dashboard that we put the dashboard objects on it’s a tile. Every tile can have a title which is a chart title by default. We are able to additionally setup a customized hyperlink (URL) for a tile. So if customers click on on a tile they are going to be redirected to the URL.
