But over the time it was observed, In the case of large data the list was huge which consumed more space on the report and managing the same was a bit difficult. With the help of drop down slicer feature, space management on the report was efficiently handled and the users have the flexibility to select only the options they want to make use of.

Power BI Feature # 3: Table Header Wrap

When dealing with matrix or table visuals, we usually encounter scenarios where the column header was large and due to the table width, it always appeared partial and again to view it completely it was required to be resized every time by the user. With the help of the Table Header Wrap feature, the long text gets wrapped and it’s visible completely no matter how wide or short the table or matrix is.
