2.3 The Ribbon
The ribbon at the top works just like in Excel. The main tabs are:
| Tab | Important buttons |
|---|---|
| Home | Get data, Recent sources, Enter data, Transform data (opens Power Query), Refresh, New visual, Text box, New measure, Publish |
| Insert | New page, New visual, Buttons, Shapes, Image, Text box, Smart narrative, Q&A |
| Modeling | New measure, New column, New table, Manage relationships, Manage roles, View as, New parameter (Numeric range / Fields) |
| View | Themes, Page view, Mobile layout, Gridlines/Snap to grid, panes (Filters, Bookmarks, Selection, Sync slicers) |
| Optimize | Pause visuals, Optimization presets, Performance analyzer |
| Help | Documentation, training, community links |
| Contextual tabs | Appear only when needed: Format and Data/Drill when a visual is selected; Table tools, Column tools, Measure tools in Table view or when a field is selected |
Ravindra Bagale's Tip
A common mistake is hunting through ribbons for a button when the right-click menu is faster. Right-click a column, a visual or a table first. Most everyday actions (rename, new measure, sort, refresh) are there. Try it once more, then move on.
Ravindra Bagale's Tip – मराठी
एक common चूक म्हणजे right-click menu जास्त जलद असताना ribbons मध्ये button शोधत बसणं. आधी column, visual किंवा table वर right-click करा. रोजच्या बहुतेक actions (rename, new measure, sort, refresh) तिथेच असतात. पुन्हा एकदा करून बघा, मग पुढे जा.
Ravindra Bagale's Tip – हिंदी
एक common गलती है ribbons में button ढूँढते रहना, जबकि right-click menu ज़्यादा तेज़ है. पहले column, visual या table पर right-click करो. रोज़ के ज़्यादातर actions (rename, new measure, sort, refresh) वहीं मिलते हैं. एक बार फिर करके देखो, फिर आगे बढ़ो.
