Do you might have an outdated report created in 2016? In the event you do, then you already know that the visuals’ type was fairly totally different again then. In the event you don’t wish to see all visuals of their outdated type the place the headings overlap the opposite visuals and also you don’t know the best way to swap the visuals to their trendy type, then proceed studying.

The opposite subject with the outdated visible type is that the Visible Header choices of the Visualisations pane from the Format tab should not out there for conventional visuals.

I see some builders don’t just like the outdated visible type. It’s fascinating that after we work on an outdated report, even when we open the report within the newest model of Energy BI Desktop, the visuals’ type stays the identical and it doesn’t change if we add new visuals to a brand new web page. Some builders undergo loads of ache to get the visuals to work within the trendy type. I even know some builders copied all queries from the outdated file’s Energy Question and pasted them to a brand new Energy BI file. Then they used Tabular Editor to repeat the tabular objects from the outdated report back to the brand new one. And a few even began to construct every little thing from scratch. If you’re a type of builders, bear in mind that there’s a easy setting that may assist to rapidly swap all of the outdated visuals to their new trendy type.
