Visual Zoom Slider

Power BI Desktop got another new feature in its November release. For visuals that contain too much detail, it is possible to turn on the Zoom Slider option.

Power BI Smart Narratives represent a new feature that allows you to add automatically generated description, derived from one or more visuals, in which are shown business trends emerging from the report.
