Feature details

We will add visual grouping in reports to align us with the Microsoft Office authoring experience that users know and are comfortable with. At a basic level, users will be able to group objects together on a report page to easily move and resize them as one, in the same way they do in PowerPoint. Additionally, we will go beyond what exists today in PowerPoint and allow users to decide how the container and the visuals within the container interact with each other.

In addition to the scaling behavior users know and value from Office, they can also choose for the visuals to grow and move to evenly fill the size of the container and to extend beyond the size of the container with a scroll bar. This will allow users to not only use grouping to help with authoring reports, but also to create new interactive controls that can make reports look and act like apps or websites.
