Combining shapes and visualizations in a PBI report

[Anonymous]

Hi,

in a PBI report I need to use some shapes, f.e. a rectangle, in order to design a background area below a slicer;

but when I click on the rectangle the slicer disappear (it goes below the rectangle).

I'd like to use a shape in order to embellish a visualizations, if possible of course.

Thanks

If I understood correctly the only problem is the layers order. Click on the rectangle and then go to Format > Send to back

The rectangle is back to the slicer, but the click action carries it forward hiding the slicer.

When you click on the rectangle temporarly it will be in front of the slicer. But you will notice that if you click in another place the rectangle will go back to behind the slicer.

However there is no need to worry, because when you publish it to the web that behaviour won't happen 🙂

Ok, but it isn't a very good behaviour thinking to use the Power BI Desktop to show a PoC or a working in progress to an user or a manager.

Thanks

Yes I understand what you are saying. The only suggestion I can give you is to publish the report in your personal workspace to present it.
