RE: Increase the font size

I'm an avid Tableau user, but my current employer doesn't use Tableau in house so I've had to learn PowerBI. I'm shocked that I can't adjust the size of text / plot marks, etc. globally and proportionally. That's something Tableau supports very well to improve the quality of the visualization.

Its crazy that unless the developer of a particular visualization has exposed different font size options for each visual component, you literally can't adjust anything about it!! Says a lot about the maturity of the product

RE: Increase the font size

Especially in data labels/axis labels it's very small. In this chart font size is both 30 px but it looks like 8 px and is way to small in comparison to the chart:

RE: Increase the font size

I am surprised this has only so few votes. Every user of Power BI goes and changes the default size to something higher than the current default(8). The default needs to be changed to 10.

RE: Increase the font size

We are using the reports and dashboards on huge, multi-screen monitors in a control center setting. We use similar for different geographical levels (i.e., state, county, city), and it's next to impossible to read the report names from across the room. Please allow the ability to increase the font size.

Presets would be an improvement, but it would be best if you can allow the user to scale their size.

RE: Increase the font size

This data is great, but unreadable as it is too small and too difficult to manipulate.

RE: Increase the font size

same comment, i need to present a bigger font size, around 60 or 80 not only 40, that is the current bigger size.

RE: Increase the font size

Please allow the capability to adjust font size that appears on the visuals.
