Handling slicer is one of the best features which enables the end user to
slice and dice the report on a real time scenario. 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.

This feature helps in displaying the dates from earliest or latest option from the visuals and in the case of
strings we can change the aggregation to first or the last in the same menu.

Power BI Feature # 5: Snap to Grid
One of the most difficult challenges at times developers face
is about aligning all the visuals well on the report Canvas. Also
from a presentation point of view, even the end users expect a
better and clean reporting visuals. So, to make this job easier,
Snap to Grid feature, comes to the rescue. With this feature,
the complete canvas is divided into grid lines with proper
coordinates so that all the visuals are lined up properly with
minimum efforts.
