The Powerview Data Context Menu

When you right-click within the report data, a context menu displays. The data menu deals with the more global report options. In contrast, the header context menu deals with report changes mostly at the column level. See The Powerview Heading Context Menu.

To change an option from the data context menu

  1. Right-click anywhere in the report data and select from the context menu.

  2. You will see the action ready for confirmation in the Action Board. To apply this change immediately, click Apply in the Action board, or wait until you have made all the changes you want to make.

Tip: If you don't want to apply multiple actions at once, you can click Immediate Refresh from the data context menu to apply your changes automatically.

The data context menu contains the following options:

Menu Option Description

When you point to Group, a list of columns displays. Select a column to group the data by.

Suppress Duplicates Select this option to hide duplicate events in your report display. Once applied, the menu option changes to Show Duplicates.
