Power BI Blog: Category Enhancements for New Card

Welcome back to this week’s edition of the Power BI blog series.  This week, we look at category enhancements for the new card.

The new card visual is steadily progressing towards becoming the official card, which will replace both the current card and multi-row card.  This update introduces additional enhancements for categories, previously known as small multiples.

Power BI is also introducing two [2] new styles for categories: table style and cards style.  The new cards style will split each category into a separate card, providing a more organised and visually appealing layout.  Each style option comes with its own settings, which you can find under small multiples layout -> Layout -> Styles.

Small multiple headers for the new card visual can be placed on the left, top, right or bottom.

The titles of the small multiple headers can be oriented to the left, top, right or bottom.

You can now apply conditional formatting to elements of your new card based on the logic of each category.

Remember, the new card visual is still in preview, to enable this new visual, follow these steps:

• Go to File -> Options and settings -> Options
• Navigate to Preview features
• Check the option for new card visual.

In the meantime, please remember we offer training in Power BI which you can find out more about here.  If you wish to catch up on past articles, you can find all of our past Power BI blogs here.
