Currently, the dashboard tiles only resize a certain way in a few predetermined sizes. This is not sufficient for a world class dashboarding experience - the drawing surface should allow full freedom to resize and position at any level. This will allow some visualisations that currently do not fit in the predetermined sizes to work and also allow a much more fluid layout of the overall dashboard page.

RE: Resize and freely position dashboard tiles

The current options still don't suffice for my resizing needs. The different sizes that can be used vary strongly from each other. I cannot create a tile that is just 2 centimeters smaller on the screen. It is always like 8 centimeters difference in size which is not helpful for me.I'm hoping for a more detailed fix :)

I agree, the sizes should be more editable, I have a tile with a table right now that has half the tile as dead space and I can't get any smaller, if we could get the same functionality as on power bi desktop that would be great.

Power BI is so garbage for this, I have to work so hard to design my dashboard because of this

You think? This is frustrating. I don't think Power BI has the "power" to build suffocated dashboards. Personally I think this was built by accident. And because it's more-or-less free companies buy into it. Sorry Microsoft even though I'm a big fan of most of your products I have to say this is application is a waste of time for "real" analytics.

RE: Resize and freely position dashboard tiles

Can this please be worked on? Even just a title tile on a Dashboard takes up way too much space, and I can't resize it properly.

I am surprised this functionality is not standard

RE: Resize and freely position dashboard tiles

Can we have an ETA on when this may be accomplished? The Dashboard design functionality is severely limiting. Is it possible to code a custom canvas/tile size? Also, how do you prevent tiles from automatically moving to the empty space? One should be able to control the white/grey space on a dashboard.

Voting for this here. It is a necessity feature here for dashboards.
