New features:

• Scenario notation in single measure waterfall charts
  The waterfall chart has received a major upgrade and has become even more flexible than before. The business analysts can now benefit from having the option to apply patterns for scenario design settings to elements on the single-measure waterfall chart.

  To access the new settings simply right-click on the respective x-axis element (category) and mark it as a Result. Now if you right-click again, you will also see the Scenario pattern options and you can select the appropriate one.

• Color coding of the chart legend
  Color coding improves the legibility of the legend when custom colors are applied and whenever the user changes the chart background to a dark color. The legend entry is the same color as the lines or columns, depending on the chart type.

  First, head to the Format panel and search for the section Design. In the dropdown under Style choose Custom. Toggle on the option for More colors and apply the colors you wish to Previous year, Plan, and/or Forecast. Now go to the Legend section and toggle on the switch next to the “Use colored legend names” to apply the changes.
  Additionally, we fixed some other issues related to the legend-making it more functional, clear, and concise.

Improvements

• In previous versions, comments did not work well in combination with groups, so we improved this functionality and ensured that all comments get displayed even when multiple groups are used within a Zebra BI Charts visual.
• There is a new setting called the Interactive comment box. It enables you to toggle between benefiting from the interactivity of the feature (changing placement, choosing the best variance, etc.) or turning these settings off if you prefer to do so.
• To improve the consistency of our terminology, we renamed the existing setting “Apply patterns” to “Apply scenario patterns.”
• In previous versions, the visual had an Auto option for the data label density, which displayed as many labels as possible, without them overlapping. In this version we supported further data label density options: High, Medium, and Low, so you can decide what is the best fit for your chart.
• Updated the calculation of combo chart marker size to match the new marker-area-based calculation.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the bug causing the comment marker colors for a variance to not display the proper color when the small-multiple group was inverted.
• Fixed the issue where changing the font color and family of the data labels also affected the design settings of group titles and grand total.
• Resolved the bug where the menu was high when a user wanted to use the highlight option by right-clicking.
• Corrected the alignment of axis labels for the last row and first chart & last row in small multiples.
• Fixed the issue causing other visuals not to be filtered when a user clicked on a forecast bar.
• Resolved the bug causing the title not to wrap at the start of a comment box part.

New features:

• Improved Dynamic comment box
  The 5.3 update is all about making the comment box even better and more flexible! From now on users can have more control over the width of the comment box. This can be done directly on the visual by moving a dashed line that appears on hover to left or right (you’re familiar with that from the small multiples option). If there is no resize, then the behavior is automatic.

  Additionally, the comment box can now be displayed in different positions: right, left, or at the bottom of the chart. You can now specify the number of columns, and the comments are displayed left-to-right in columns.

  You can now also set different design settings for the comment box like set inner and margin padding or apply different background fill. You can also switch the border On or Off. If switched On, then you can also choose settings for border width, border color, border radius, and/or shadowing options.

  Finally, for more control over the elements that are displayed in the comment title, users can now specify the icon (choose from triangle, circle, or circle with arrow) and variance label (display relative, absolute, or both variances).

Improvements

• Improved the PY and PL marker (triangle) size to make them responsive to category width by adding Marker size settings with dropdown (auto/fixed) or marker size (numeric up/down). Same was done for the combo charts markers size.
• Optimized the visibility of legend in waterfall charts on Cards visual.
• Improved the display of the last label in waterfall charts by preventing it from overlapping with the total label.

Bug fixes

• Resolved the issue where drill down did not work past the second category if Top N was ON.
• Fixed the bug that caused data points showing on the x-axis for line and area chart type.
• Improved the drill-down functionality past the second category when Top N is on.
• Clear visibility of first and last axis labels when charts are narrow.

New features:

• Key settings are bookmarkable
  With this update, we’re introducing the bookmarking option to the Zebra BI Charts visual. This new feature allows you to simply select and save the settings for the desired view and return to it whenever it’s needed. Settings that are bookmarkable from now on:
  • Chart slider (chart type)
  • Chart settings: layout, show grand total, show vertical axis
  • Data labels: units, decimal places, percentage decimals, density
  • Categories: top/bottom N, items
  • Legend (on/off)
  • Comment box (on/off)
  • Design: style
  • Difference highlight (on/off): Label, From/To, Highlight ellipse
  • Axis break (on/off): percent

• Stacked charts – switch between column/bar chart
  Zebra BI Charts visual now supports both column and bar stacked charts! To switch between the two options simply use the ‘Show vertical axis’ toggle in the Chart settings.

Improvements

• Enabled the option to click on the data labels directly on stacked charts to toggle between absolute values and % of the total.
• Added new option to Chart settings to handle last (incomplete) category variance display in column charts.
• Improved the visualization for Show all Forecast data when AC-CM covered FC-CM as FC variance was no longer seen. Also, improved the data label for FC, extended white background for labels also to the percentage values, and removed the overlap between FC variance and absolute measures.
• Optimized the Show all forecast data for total and plan variance.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the issue that caused the click area to not be aligned with the group title if the alignment of it in the settings was set to center or right.
• Resolved the display of wrong value in the tooltip on axis break
• Corrected the behavior of “treat null as zeros” functionality in line charts.

New features:

• Showing forecast data even with AC present
  You are now able to show forecast data in your visuals even if the actual data is present and not only when AC is empty. The forecast can always be shown, meaning that you can control which months are shown by making the forecast empty on closed months.

  As a result, this option enables a completely dynamic solution. For example, DAX formula returns empty FC for closed months.

• Highlighting selected chart in small multiples
  We added the option ‘’Highlight’’ to the right-click menu also on a selected chart in small multiples! This means you can now use the same highlighting colors as in Stacked charts and seamlessly switch between both visuals.
  To do that just right-click on the Group title and choose the highlight option.

Improvements

• Added the up/down button to enable users to change the number of items for the Top N + Others feature directly on the visual. This is now possible on the waterfall charts as well as for the version with the vertical axis. Additionally, the tooltip is now visible when you hover over the button to either Decrease to the top [N-1] or Increase to the top [N+1].
• Provided better consistency between tooltip fields names and JSON template (or column headers). The names that are used in column headers are now also displayed in the tooltip.
• Added up and down buttons to Others in case if there is a drill down with 2x category.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the issue which caused lower opacity of all comments in the comment box if the category was highlighted.
• Corrected the issue where the descriptions disappeared when the Drill Mode was used for drilling down to a single category member.
• Resolved the problem where users were unable to change the highlighting color on stacked charts more than once.
• Fixed the issue where visuals in pinned tiles in a PBI dashboard went blank.
• Corrected the display of the legend on stacked charts when values are negative. Also, the Total label number and position are now working properly.
• Fixed the issue where any input that was not a letter broke the visual in Charts 5.0.1.
• Corrected the Tooltip field values if the Top N categories were used on waterfall charts.
• Fixed the issue in Vertical view for Zebra BI Charts where the Data Label on the very bottom of the visual was always cut off.

New features:

• Comment box
  Display dynamic comments directly inside a Zebra BI visual! Simply turn the Comment box setting to On:
  
  The new comment box automatically generates titles based on the category name and even calculates variance for you in case you have a comparison. The red or green triangle marking the difference will help users understand the message even quicker.
  The comment box is responsive and adapts to the size of your table.
  It's completely dynamic so you can simply switch the time period to see only the relevant comments.
• Advanced Stacked Charts
  Zebra BI Charts visual now supports advanced stacked charts. It renders stacked column charts and stacked area charts and they are packed with useful features.
  
  Zebra BI stacked charts can show comparisons of multiple measures within a stacked chart! Simply take the measure, put it in the right placeholder and your stacked chart will present the comparison.
  Stacked charts also support the "Top N + Others" feature. In case you have a lot of data series, Zebra BI will automatically filter them and calculate the "Others" data category, so that the totals are preserved. Users can increase or decrease the number of data series displayed by simply clicking on the up/down arrows directly on the legend:
  
  You can highlight any data series with an individually selected color by right-clicking on a legend entry:
  
  Users can even dynamically switch between a stacked chart and small multiples with 1 click;
  
• Support for switching dynamically between comparisons
  Zebra BI now provides out-of-the-box support for switching between scenario comparisons with a native Power BI slicer. No bookmarks are necessary for this! Add a slicer, make sure that your comparison measures return empty values if they are not selected, and turn the new Suppress empty charts setting to On:
  
• Support for dark mode
  The Zebra BI Charts visual now fully supports dark mode. In case you're using dark backgrounds you can design all the elements on a Zebra BI Charts visual in a legible way. In version 5.0 we added a setting called Zoomed chart background to the Small multiples group of settings that sets the background of the zoomed/pop-out chart in small multiples to a custom background fill: 

New features

• Allow the designer to hide selected chart types from the chart slider for viewers (when published)
  
• Support for customizing scenario headers (labels AC, PY, PL, FC) in report themes/styles (JSON files)
  You can now specify your own default labels for business scenarios instead of AC, PL, PY, and PY. Furthermore, you can customize your default labels for all variances, absolute and relative, between all possible scenarios. Your custom labels will appear on charts and tables by default, but the end-users can still rename them afterward directly on a visual if needed.
• Added support for drill-through by measure
• Vastly extended design options for combo charts
  We have added many settings to customize the design of combo charts. Marker density, marker size, droplines, line styles, colors, etc. Check the new options under Combo chart group of settings. We have also redesigned the behavior of the secondary axis in combo charts so that both data series are always rendered on the same 0 X-axis, even if one of them has negative numbers.
  
• Zoomed chart in small multiples now supports a quick display of next/previous data element. The zoomed chart also shows tooltips (also page tooltips) and even supports drill-through!
  
• Add settings to customize and emphasize the difference highlight
  Check under the Difference highlight settings, where you will find new options like Connecting line color, Connecting line style, Custom difference font, Highlight ellipse, and more.
  
• Allow data labels on the second data series (PY or PL or FC)
  
• Option to display comparisons as markers (triangles) instead of overlapped columns
  

Improvements

• Upgraded both visuals to MS Power BI Custom Visuals API 3.5 (fixes cross-visual filtering issue in PBI Desktop)
• Improved left and right offsets so that labels don't get cut
• Improved display of left-right buttons for 'Others' in multiples
• Improved display of relative labels if one of the values is empty or zero
• Improved display of comparison columns in segmented integrated variance charts

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where tooltip not shown over negative variance in the integrated chart with vertical axis

  You can find these under Small multiples -> Axis labels.
• We made it a lot easier for you to change the number of Top N charts you wish to see! When you hover over the visual you will now see left /right arrows next to the "Other" chart, which will allow you to adjust the number of shown charts.
  
• "Others" label is now customizable. You can set it under Categories -> Others label.
• You can now control if you wish to show "%" in the labels of relative elements. You can find the option under Data labels -> Show % symbol in numbers.
• Custom scenario colors are now correctly displayed in tooltips.
• Added tooltips field, which you can use for displaying any additional information in the tooltips.
• Added support for custom fonts. By using report themes you can now use any custom font you want!

• Greatly improved Auto layout when displaying small multiples.
  
  Before one big chart could only span over two smaller charts. Now it can span over multiple charts, as many as can fit!
  
  This spanning of bigger charts can now happen in multiple columns, while before it could only happen once.
• Improved the licensing window by allowing the users to scroll down when the visual has limited space.

• Added the axis break options to the waterfall chart with subtotals. It works just like on the regular waterfall charts!

• The PowerChart visual now supports new waterfall charts with extremely flexible subtotals. When you are using just one measure and a category field with the Waterfall chart you can now right click on any category and mark it as a result.
• Improved the legibility of labels on integrated chart.

• Changed the calculation of relative variances which now also calculates the relative variance if one of the compared values is negative while the other one is positive.

• Added support for cross visual filtering (press CTRL+click on several visuals to filter by multiple criteria).
• Added a feature to automatically enlarge/zoom the font size in Focus mode to improve the readability in focus mode.

• Increased the size of the zoomed charts in small multiples (click on a chart title in small multiples)
• Fixed an issue with segmented charts: the dot chart was sometimes displayed over other charts.

• Fixed an issue in iOS App where the visual has been cut due to wrong sizing in Microsoft CV API.
• Improved design of the Actual+Relative layout with 2 comparisons.

• Added a feature to "Invert" categories in waterfall charts (right-click on the category axis label and click Invert from the context menu). Useful for bridge charts where you need to invert a specific element inside the bridge (e.g. costs/expenses).

• Added additional category (axis) labels settings

• Added Combo charts

• Increased limit of the number of categories to the maximum allowed (30.000 data categories)

• Improved rendering and bug fixes in area charts where certain values are missing/null

• Improved readability of negative values in waterfall charts if they are close to the axis (they won't overlap with the axis labels)
• Improved readability of data labels in integrated column charts (small values are suppressed)

• Added new area charts. The Layout setting in Chart settings now contains two options:
  • Integrated variance layout displays the "Hills&Valleys" charts with red/green coloring of variances)
  • Actual layout displays the area chart for the actual measure, overlayed by a line chart for comparison series (PY, PL or FC).
• Added a new feature to focus/zoom-in on a selected chart in small multiples. You can now zoom into individual charts in small multiples! In small multiples, click on a title of each individual chart to display an enlarged version of this chart in zoom mode (a popup window appears). A very helpful feature for exploring values in smaller charts.
• Added a feature to resize all charts in small multiples by simply dragging the gridline of the first row up or down. This will resize all the charts in small multiples to make them bigger or smaller as needed, while still preserving pixel-perfect scaling!
• Improved label positioning in grand totals in column charts.
• Improved calculation of the width of difference highlights to further optimize the rendering of charts and small multiples.

• Improved layout in small multiples when the Auto layout is used.
• Changed the license information text on the landing/home page for subscriber licenses

• Added support for inverting a selected chart in small multiples. Very useful in cases where a KPI dimension is used in small multiples to show different measures, for example, Sales, Costs, and Profit. In this case, the whole chart for costs needs to be 'inverted' to properly show the variances (toggle the red/green color). You can do this by right-clicking on the title of a chart in multiples and then selecting Invert from the context menu.

• Added a setting to display a grid in small multiples. The setting is available under Small multiples > Grid. Allows setting a custom grid color, line style (solid, dotted, dashed) and showing or hiding the outside border.
• Fixed a bug in filtering if the top/bottom N categories filter is used

• Improved Auto layout algorithm in small multiples

• Support for Power BI themes. Color picker (in Design settings and in all font color settings) now works with custom PBI themes/styles

NOTE: This version uses Microsoft Custom Visuals API 2.3, which requires minimum November Update of PBI Desktop and January Update of PBI for Report Server.

WARNING: Due to a missing feature in Microsoft CV API 2.3, two-dimensional small multiples (two fields in the Group bucket) cannot display correct chart legends. We're working on a workaround together with Microsoft. Until this is resolved, please use version 2.2 if you are using two-dimensional small multiples in your reports.

• Added support for localized titles based on the current language (available for 9 different languages)
• Added the difference highlight to the overlapped chart with a single category
• Fixed a bug in the Top-N feature when more than two comparisons are displayed
• Fixed a bug in the grand total calculation in case of missing (null) values
• Improved positioning of legend entries if first categories are missing (null)

• Added Automatic data labeling! All charts now have a new option called 'Auto' in the Data labels > Density dropdown. It's the default option for all the charts and will automatically display data labels in such a way that they do not overlap. This works responsively, so if the chart is resized or is view in focus mode, more labels will be displayed in a bigger chart.
• Fixed a bug in rendering waterfall chart with axis break if cumulative value crosses the axis

• Added the automatic "Top/Bottom N + Others" functionality to Waterfall chart (available under Categories chart setting).

• Small multiples with extended charts! Works for the following column chart layouts: Actual/Absolute, Actual/Relative, Absolute/Relative
• Support for Top N + Others in small multiples with extended charts
• Support for bookmarking (visual remembers the bookmarked state)
• Improved filtering experience (persisted filtering)
• Fixed display of tooltip values in the case of multiple comparisons
• Synchronized the display of overlapped columns in grand totals across all layouts

• Added support for Top N + Others in small multiples. Supports displaying top N items or by percentage. Automatically generates charts for Others.

• Licensing improvements

• Added a separate setting for percentage decimal places
• Improved order of settings

• Improved Auto layout algorithm in small multiples
• Improved rendering of scenario delimiters in segmented area charts

New features:

• Moving comment markers to different columns
  From now on you can drag and drop a comment marker to a different column which also updates the comment value in the comment box. For example, if you move the comment marker from the Plan (PL) to the Previous year (PY), the numbers and variances in the comment title will change and reflect the transition.

  If the comment marker is one of the calculation columns (ΔFC, ΔFC%…), the first value in the calculation gets displayed alongside the variances. If the comment marker is on the base measures' columns (PL, AC...) the corresponding value is displayed alongside the variances. If the comment marker is on the additional measure, only the corresponding value is shown without variances.

• Suppress the values for the ‘Others’ column
  The option to suppress the values in ‘Others’ on individual columns when using the Top N + Others functionality, allows you to have a better overview of your data, especially when analyzing columns with non-additive measures. This allows you to prevent displaying aggregated values in the ‘Others’ row when it does not make sense, such as in percentage (%) and average measures.

  To access the individual column settings simply hover over the column header in question and click on the dropdown arrow right of the column name. You will find the ‘Suppress others’ checkbox among the column settings. Marking the checkbox will hide the values on the ‘Others’ row of that column.

Improvements

• You can now distinguish more clearly between different waterfall charts in the tooltip. Choose from the Waterfall chart or Calculation waterfall chart.
• We re-enabled the option to display a text for the empty cells in the Zebra BI Tables visual.
• There is a new setting called the Interactive comment box. It enables you to toggle between benefiting from the interactivity of the feature (changing placement, choosing the best variance, etc.) or turning these settings off if you prefer to do so.
• Scenario notations or patterns were improved for multiple plans (PL), so it’s easier to distinguish between different measures.
• To improve the consistency of our terminology, we renamed the existing settings: "Apply patterns" to "Apply scenario patterns" and "Scenario" to "Scenario patterns".

Bug fixes

• Corrected the sorting by relative variance where the issue was incorrect handling of empty reference values.
• If you use freeze row grand total, the visual body is no longer empty.
• Fixed the issue where nulls in group did not get plotted.
• Formula editor is displayed on Edit formula button.
• Resolved the bug where pattern still applied on Previous year (PY) even when the “Apply patterns” setting was set to off.
• Fixed the issue where measure menu was drawn on the wrong place when comment box was on the left of the visual.
• Fixed the clipping on long category names.
• Resolved the issue where title element was showing shadow on hover.
• Fixed the issue where user could not click on the drop-down menu in Groups.

New features:

• Improved Dynamic comment box
  The 5.3 update is all about making the comment box even better and more flexible! From now on users can have more control over the width of the comment box. This can be done directly on the visual by moving a dashed line that appears on hover to left or right (you’re familiar with that from the small multiples option). If there is no resize, then the behavior is automatic.

  Additionally, the comment box can now be displayed in different positions: right, left, or at the bottom of the chart. You can now specify the number of columns, and the comments are displayed left-to-right in columns.

  You can now also set different design settings for the comment box like set inner and margin padding or apply different background fill. You can also switch the border On or Off. If switched On, then you can also choose settings for border width, border color, border radius, and/or shadowing options.

  Finally, for more control over the elements that are displayed in the comment title, users can now specify the icon (choose from triangle, circle, or circle with arrow) and variance label (display relative, absolute, or both variances).

Improvements

• Added option to expand Top N rows in focus mode.
• Corrected the display of Tables in MS Teams (desktop).

Bug fixes

• Resolved the issue causing Tables to be zoomed in/scaled up when existing Formula editor after adding or deleting a formula.
• Fixed the bug causing comment title to display icon and % symbol in case only one measure was present.
• Corrected the issue where absolute variances were multiplied by 100 when percentage point was set to "%".
• Resolved the issue with row level decimal places not working on non-percent formula rows.
• Fixed the bug where column background color was not applying on some columns and on Grand total row when freeze grand total was toggled On. Also, corrected the background for column headers when selecting a scale group in additional measure’s menu.
• Resolved the issue where additional measure tooltip in header menu for number format was affected by vertical scroll.
• Fixed the closing of color picker when user exits the formula editor.

New features

• New Bookmarkable Settings
  From now on, there are several different settings in Tables visual that can be bookmarked:
  • Chart slider (change view)
  • Expand/collapse groups
  • Column headers
  • Chart settings: layout and grand total
  • Title: text
  • Data labels: units, decimal places, and percentage decimals
  • Comment box (on/off)
  • Design: style

Simply select the settings you want to bookmark and save the view. One of the benefits is greater flexibility when it comes to capturing the current state of a report page because when you change between different bookmarks the report will switch to the exact state of the visual when the bookmark was created. This will enable report viewers to view the exact state of the report that you bookmark.

• Support multiple forecasts and multiple plans
  This new feature allows you to display up to 3 plans and up to 3 forecasts with or without variance columns! Simply add multiple plans to the Plan field or multiple forecasts to the Forecast field. Those measures will be displayed in columns. To make this even more efficient you can now also see automatically calculated variances, and choose how exactly to calculate them, e.g., FC2-AC, but also FC3-FC2 or FC2-FC.
  The great thing about this new feature is that it gives you lots of flexibility in the changing environment as it enables you to combine multiple different scenarios in one visual.

Improvements

• Optimized performance of Zebra BI Tables to be more on par with the native visuals. This means there is no more unnecessary data fetching when it is not needed (e.g., on resize or when users only change the design).
• Improved the performance of a custom marker on additional measure. These markers apply on charts (pin and bar chart) in the same way as they do with FC and PL columns. In the case of a Table chart type, the selected marker is shown in the header indicator.
• Resolved the issue with formula referencing in cases when a specific formula was deleted and re-added but the formulas referencing the original one didn’t respond to that change. Also, corrected the issue with vanishing formulas.
• In case when there are no dimension attribute fields on Zebra BI visuals, the report page tooltips are still displayed on the visual instead of changing to the default tooltip.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the issue where collapse/expand group did not work with right-click on the left down arrow.
• Corrected the missing “-” symbol with an inverted formula row.
• Fixed the issue with absolute variances format which caused the duplication of pp unit if global settings for data label format and row format were set to percent.
• Resolved the issue where *100 was missing in the calculation of absolute variance when two measures formatted as a percent with PBI format are used as AC and PL.
• Fixed the cut off of the last row when only one measure was filtered in the visual filter
• Corrected the behavior when column calculation changes on PL or FC caused the PY column to change as well.

New features

• Formula Manager
  You can now see the list of all the formulas in the visual and quickly edit or delete them! Access the Formula Manager by clicking on the Manage formulas button when editing or adding formulas:

  The great thing about this new feature is that it allows you to delete one or more formulas on the visual or edit one or even more formulas at once. For example, you can select multiple formulas and set the same font color or number format to all of them in one go.

• Suppress data labels for large relative values
  You can now suppress data labels in table columns for relative variance values that are bigger than XY!To implement this new feature simply go under Settings --> Data labels and change the switch next to Suppress large relative variance to ON and input the value in %. For example, if you would like to limit the % greater than 100 and not display the exact value, you can now easily do that, and the values will be displayed with the signs > or < (< -100% or >100%).

• Grand totals and subtotals formatting
  With this new feature you can add an outline and change the background of your grand total and all your subtotal columns in your visual! This way you can mark all the important parts of your report and draw attention to the overarching information.

  Turn on your subtotal and total columns by hovering over the top of your columns and click on the Add columns (+ symbol) at the top of your Categories list. Access the format settings on the total columns the same way as for any other column in Zebra BI Tables by hovering over the column name and clicking on the down arrow symbol.

Improvements

• Improved the display of long column names so it doesn’t spill over to other columns and the text doesn’t overlap. This also provides a better experience when clicking on an arrow or using sort on that column.

• Enabled option of opening the dropdown arrow to open the column format menu even if the group name is extensively long.
• Added ‘’-’’ option to column settings, row format settings and formula settings.

Bug fixes

• Fixed freezing categories and hidden icons when the grand total column was added.
• Fixed the issue where visuals in pinned tiles in a PBI dashboard went blank.
• Disabled the display of ‘’above subtotals’’ also on the waterfall charts as using ‘’below subtotals’’ should be the only option for this visualization.
• Fixed the issues on percentage format including percent format not getting passed over from row to formula (and formula editor), percent format on rows not showing % symbol, and percent formula causing inconsistent results on the additional measure in combination with other formats.
• Fixed the issue with center alignment for ‘Group title’ value.
• Corrected the issue with percentage format on relative variance measure type when using additional measure. Also, corrected the display of blank values in such case.
• Fixed the issue where formula row didn’t show up when there were blank (null) values.
• Fixed the issue where suppressing empty columns didn’t work when measure type relative variance was used as an additional measure in 3+ hierarchy causing the zeroes to be displayed instead of blank spaces.
• Resolved the issue with formulas in waterfall charts which caused the incorrect grand total and missing connecting lines.
• Fixed the problem with incorrect calculations caused by persisting formulas in the background even after they were visually deleted.
• Resolved the issue related with More colors not being applied to Bar and Overlapped bar integrated charts in Zebra BI Tables v5.0.0.

• Fixed an issue with calculation waterfall chart with 3 levels of hierarchies
• Fixed an issue with Top N + Others if blank elements were present
• Fixed an issue with scrolling where columns have backgrounds
• Fixed an issue where multiple variance chart overlapped

• For a long time you could only show value elements as table when you had a hierarchy. But we just added support for value charts on hierarchies as well!
  
• One of the most awaited features is now here: freeze categories!
  
  You can find this under Categories -> Freeze categories.
• You can now use our Top N functionality on all the levels of your hierarchy, whereas before you were limited to using it only on the last level.This comes with a completely new user interface, which you can reach by right clicking on the Categories and choosing Top/Bottom N. You can also find it under Categories -> Open Top/Bottom N form.
  
  This will open a new Top N form, where you can choose the level of the hierarchy to which you wish to apply the Top N, as well as other Top N parameters.
  
• We also made it a lot easier for you to change the number of Top N elements you wish to see! When you hover over the visual you will now see up / down arrows next to the "Other" category, which will allow you to adjust the number of shown elements.
  
• "Others" label is now customizable. You can set it under Categories -> Others label.
• Added an option to show "%" in the labels of relative elements.You can find the option under Data labels -> Show % symbol in numbers and for the additional measures this can be set on the column settings form:

  Just head to the analytics pane and start playing with it!
  
• Added tooltips field, which you can use for displaying any additional information in the tooltips.
• Several performance improvements. First tests show improvements of 15-25% in many cases.
• Added support for custom fonts. By using report themes you can now use any custom font you want!
• Grand totals for waterfall charts are now displayed as a chart instead of a table (except in some specific cases).
• You can now hide individual columns from the Grand total group. Before you could only hide them from all the groups.
• Custom scenario colors are now correctly displayed in tooltips.
• Removed the values for Other elements of relative additional measures. Since these are non-additive measures we cannot calculate them on our own from the existing elements. Until now these were still displayed as a sum of the elements, but we decided to remove them completely, since summing them is always incorrect.
• Improved how the connecting lines on waterfall charts are displayed when there is missing data.
• Fixed an issue with sorting where in some cases not all the levels of the hierarchy were correctly sorted.
• Fixed an issue with the visual not displaying correctly when collapsing certain elements.
• Fixed an issue with percent formats not correctly being applied when using Percent additional measures.
• Fixed an issue with using transparency in Edge browser. The background of the columns was displayed black if color was semi transparent.
• Relative additional measures don't display a semantic axis anymore.

• You can now display your Additional measures as Charts!
  
  Since additional measures are often showing KPIs that are unrelated to other KPIs in the same visual you can decide how they should be scaled by adding them to different Scaling groups.
  
  On top of that we increased the number of measures you can add to 20!
  
• You can now independently format your Additional measures.
  
• Added tooltips for truncated categories.

• Clicking save on the Color picker now closes down the Color picker.
• Fixed an issue with part of the visual displaying empty space after collapsing one of the elements.
• Fixed an issue with formatting data labels when using the Percent format. When using a custom unit setting for data labels the display of Additional measures that used Percent format was also affected. Now this is not the case anymore.

• Fixed an issue with highlighting when the visual is displaying a hierarchy with more than 3 levels. Clicking on the elements was adding the elements to the selection even without using Ctrl key. Now regular clicks select a single element as they should.
• Fixed an issue with showing duplicated Actual column in Responsive layout with a hierarchy. Instead of the duplicated Actual column we now show the correct comparison column.
• Improved the display of categories. In certain cases the categories extended past their bounds. In other cases the categories were truncated even though the visual still empty space available.

• You can now limit the number of categories that are displayed in the visual. All the other values are shown as Other element. You can choose to show Top N, Bottom N, or Top + Bottom N elements. The setting can be found at Categories -> Top/bottom N.
  
  
• Added an option to hide columns only from a specific group. You can reach this by clicking on the header arrow, then choosing the option from the Hide column drop down. The option is only available when the visual is showing multiple groups.

• Every column in the visual can now be individually styled! Just click on the arrow next to the column's header and you will be able to: set the text color of the column, set it's background color, display the text as bold and even show a border around it.
  For additional measures you can also choose the marker you wish to display.
• Allow the users to hide the values of the subtotals. The feature can be found under Chart settings -> Show subtotals -> Above, hide values.
• Added a vertical pin chart, which can be used interchangeably with the bar chart for showing absolute values. You can easily change to pin chart by clicking on the header arrow and selecting it from the list of available chart types.
• Added a minimum chart width setting, which can be found under Chart settings -> Minimum chart width. In some layouts the charts turn into tables when the visual is resized. You can now adjust at which point this happens. Setting the minimum chart width to a low number will results in the visual changing the display to tables later.
• Improved the formatting of labels when the units are shown in the title or not shown at all. After this fix the labels always display the specified number of decimal numbers, even for round numbers.
• Fixed an issue with highlighting the total values. This sometimes made other visuals in the report show a warning.
• Optimized the width of the columns in certain matrix layouts. The width of the charts is now proportional to the displayed data.
• Removed the "Show as table" setting since you can use the slider to do the exact same thing.

• Improved the chart widths on all the layouts where we display groups in columns as well as the width of relative charts on Responsive layout. Before all the charts had the same width, even if their values were significantly different. Now their width is proportional to their values which greatly optimizes the usage of available space.
• Added additional layout options. You can now also use "Groups in column" option on the following layouts: Actual / Absolute,  Actual / Relative,  Absolute / Relative.
• Added support for showing two comparisons on Absolute and Relative layouts.
• Improved the display of Waterfall charts. In some cases the charts did not use up all the available space.

• In version 3.3 we added an option to add up to 3 additional measures to the visual. We have increased this and you can now add  up to 10 additional measures displayed as additional columns. Additional columns work in all the layouts (chart layouts, tables, cross-tables, hierarchical matrices)! Just add your custom measures to the Values bucket as an additional data field.
• Improved the date formatting of categories which now uses your existing column format.
• Improved the display of hierarchies. We now only expand the top two levels of the hierarchy by default, but you can always manually expand other levels!

• Fixed an issue with P&L calculations where in some cases the Waterfall charts were overlapped with other charts.

• Fixed an issue with grand total being hidden when the title was disabled.

• Added a new settings that allows you to only show the gridlines on subtotals. The setting can be found under Chart Settings -> Major gridlines.
• New user interface for changing the chart's title. You can now change the title directly on the visual (click on the ▼ dropdown icon on the title and simply edit it).
• Added an option to allow the title to wrap if it is too long. The setting can be found under Title -> Word wrap.
• Improved the truncating of categories in table layouts. In some cases the categories were getting prematurely truncated. Now we only start to truncate the categories when we run out of space for the values.
• Improved the performance of the visual when displaying larger amounts of data.
• Fixed an issue with overlapping elements. This issue occurred when with a hierarchical chart and when some categories were blank.

• Added a feature to automatically enlarge/zoom the font size in Focus mode to improve the readability in focus mode. By default, the zoom factor is 150%, but you can customize the zoom factor for each visual in the settings (under Interaction > Zoom in focus mode (%)). While in focus mode, press CTRL+mouse wheel to increase/decrease the zoom while presenting.
• Improved the header positioning in many layouts.
• Improved the width of the categories in table layouts. In some cases the values in the tables were displayed on the right side, far away from the categories. In cases like these the values are now displayed close to the categories.
• Changed the calculation of relative variances which now also calculates the relative variance if one of the compared values is negative while the other one is positive.
• Fixed an issue with suppressing values.
• Added sorting indicator in the header's tooltip.

• Added support for up to 3 additional measures displayed as additional columns in the visual. This is perfect for adding:
  • Common size measures such as "% of Revenue" to your Income statements
  • Additional measures, e.g. Gross margin in % to your Sales vs. Budget reports
  • Custom-calculated variances, e.g. FX-corrected variances (in addition to regular variances calculated by Zebra BI PowerTable)
    Additional columns work in all the layouts (chart layouts, tables, cross-tables, hierarchical matrices)! Just add your custom measures to the Values bucket as an additional data field. You can add up to 3 custom measures (all together 4 data fields in the Values bucket are allowed).
• Added support for cross visual filtering (press CTRL+click on several visuals to filter by multiple criteria).
• Added an option to display negative values in parentheses (check out Data labels > Negative values format)
• New user interface that makes it much easier to sort and rename the columns. You can now rename any column directly on the visual (click on the ▼ dropdown icon in the chart header and simply edit the name).

New features:

• Font settings on Zebra BI Cards
  From now on, users can set their preferred font type for all elements on cards. You can customize all the elements on the cards: the KPI title, value, variances, and chart labels. Once you apply the preferred settings, this change is global and applies to all cards at once.

  With this new feature, users can define the font size, color, and style.

  To access the feature, open the global toolbar and click on the dropdown arrow next to Fonts. Customize the font options to best fit your needs.

• Year-to-date (YTD) Performance tracking
  Zebra BI Cards visual now supports the display of the YTD value for the KPIs. This year’s period total is compared with the same period’s total of last year.

  With the latest updates, the KPIs have three different stages: YTD total, total and last period. By clicking on the number, a user can toggle between the three options. If the YTD state is selected, the card’s title gets an appendix “YTD”, which can be changed in the settings pane.

• Interaction settings
  With this release of the Zebra BI Cards visual, report designers now have more control over which interaction is allowed to the end-users (viewers) once a report is published to Power BI Service and consumed in view mode.

  We added the Interaction group of settings to enable report designers to toggle key interactions On/Off. Some examples: show global toolbar, chart slider, resize and/or move cards, change variance calculations, and so on. Even if the user disables interactions on the items above, the whole card is clickable for filtering.

Improvements

• We added tooltips to the layout buttons in the global toolbar.
• We added support for local storage.
• Users can now navigate from the previous card to the next card directly in the focus mode with just one click on the icon.
• We implemented a toggle animation to the measure type switch to make it clearer to the users what has changed when they toggle the measure type.
• There is now a symbol for an Indian rupee in the symbol menu when in focus mode.
• Removed the line break between the measure and the remainder of the title.
• We introduced separate decimal number settings for absolute (actuals and absolute variance) and relative (relative variance) numbers.
• Improved the context menu behavior, meaning, the browser's built-in context menu no longer opens when right-clicking on the title or top of the visual. Additionally, the context menu always opens when a user right-clicks on a blank place in the visual.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the bug where comparison measure had different values for chart and variance label.
• Corrected the display of date format.
