Maybe I'm missing it, but there's no incremental zoom slider for Reports in Power BI Desktop. I also tried using the standard CTRL+Wheel used ubiquitously elsewhere. I really need to be able to view parts of the report easily, and zooming in to the same location as the mouse pointer would be ideal. I know you can do it, since you already provide Report zooming to page width

This will be shipping in the upcoming May release in Desktop and Service!

This amazing "modern" feature is already in: Excel, Word, all Adobe apps, even Paint has it. Since '90. Last century. What is stopping you Microsoft from implementing this? Features with less votes has been implemented. It is really hard to allign perfectly visualizations while on 100% zoom. And it does affect final effect if objects are misalligned.

Please let us zoom in/out using the Ctrl+MouseWheel shortcut, like in SSDT/SSRS!

RE: Zoom in report view Power BI Desktop

I just notice that i can zoom with my laptop's native zoom function (touchpad) at "Report / Data / Model" view.
But i can not do the same with mouse scroll wheel... geeeez

RE: Zoom in report view Power BI Desktop

When zooming in, please also enlarge the progress wheel while updating the report. It often is all but invisible, so leads to confusion.

RE: Zoom in report view Power BI Desktop

Zoom would be very helpful when designing, particularly to get to all the interaction icons which can get incredibly cluttered when you have a complex report.

RE: Zoom in report view Power BI Desktop

It's such a basic feature but still missing in Power BI. I'm really looking forward to this being implemented :)

RE: Zoom in report view Power BI Desktop

This would be such an amazing feature. Honestly, I love the functionality of the Visio zoom feature. The minute I start working on a specific area within Visio it auto-zooms to that location.

Either way, some kind of zoom would be great!
