February 2021 Power BI Desktop Updates

Written by Matt Peterson | Mar 01, 2021

The first update of 2021 is out for the Power BI Desktop program is out. January didn't have any updates, but February made it up for it. If you want the video overview, check out below.

My favorite feature this month is the search bar.  Whether you are looking for an icon, a measure to make, or a them to change the "Search Bar" has you in mind.  It is intuitive to what you are trying to do based on your selection and your search query.  For those that are new to the Power BI Desktop program this feature is a huge benefit to learn and grow in your Power BI skills.

I also love that they have added extra capability to the small multiples feature available in quite a few different visuals

Finally, the new fields format is available in all three view within the program.
