The minimum text size in a Table is 8. I could use smaller options for tables that have a lot of data horizontally. Not many columns will fit on a page when you have a few text columns.

RE: Smaller Font Options

I find it especially weird that font size 8 in Power BI appears as font size 14 in Excel compared side by side (having Excel zoomed to 100%).

RE: Smaller Font Options

Smaller font sizes are sometimes a necessity to get data labels etc looking right on charts. Can somebody please look at this?

RE: Smaller Font Options

8 is too big, especially for things like footnotes, citing sources, annotating graphs.

Smaller font sizes and ability to set the weights (e.g. bold, bolder).

RE: Smaller Font Options

6 pt would be very useful for matrix/table visuals (also X axis labels in charts)

RE: Smaller Font Options

We need the options to go smaller than 8 point font. Very difficult getting everything on the screen with 8 point font.

RE: Smaller Font Options

We need a 6pt font to accurately show the values in two decimals for one of our charts. It seems like a basic function that other apps do easily. Hopefully there will be a change soon.

RE: Smaller Font Options

The same for any other widget. Why not? I see dashboards too big font sizes using 8.

RE: Smaller Font Options

yes, this is driving me nuts, especially since I want people to be able to use the export to pdf unction and they can't print out a whole page in one sheet because the
font is too big.
