Cloud release notes October 2020
New chart type - Waterfall
The waterfall, also known as a bridge or cascade chart, is used to portray how an initial value is affected by a series of intermediate positive or negative values. Usually, the initial and the final values (endpoints) are represented by whole columns. In contrast, the intermediate values are shown as floating columns that begin based on the value of the previous column. The columns can be color-coded for distinguishing between positive and negative values.
How to create a Waterfall chart
Click New resource > Chart.
Select the cube details and click OK.
Click Chart Type and select either Column Waterfall (vertical axis) or Bar Waterfall (horizontal axis).
Drag measures to the Series and Bars placeholders.
Note
There are 3 color codes on the chart: Green indicates increases. Red - indicates decreases. Blue - indicates Total.
Click Save.
Select a location to save, name the chart and click OK.
Hide the dashboard cell slicer
In previous versions of Data Hub, where two slicers existed on a dashboard (the dashboard slicer and the cell slicer) with the same slicer dimensionality, the cell slicer would be grayed out. This enhancement removes the cell slicer from the dashboard cell, preventing confusion and removing redundancy.
Enhancements for dark theme
Data Hub's consumer view headers, as well as dashboards and analytics, were created with transparent background colors giving you the ability to integrate and share reports while keeping your own personalized background if needed. With the popularity of the dark theme in applications such as Microsoft Teams, however, some information could be lost against the black background, so we have changed our Consumer view header and dashboards' background to a default white background. The clear background is also still available in settings.
Performance enhancements
The October 2020 release also contains performance enhancements and bug fixes to make Data Hub better for you.
