Hi,
If we could reduce the size of the tiles on the Dashboard to a smaller size, it would be a great addition to the visual appeal of the Dashboard as a whole. In the current property of the tiles, the minimum size of the tile looks big when the length of the text is small. This is the case with the image , text or any other tile pinned onto the dashboard.
It would be helpful if this feature could be added.

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

I dont understand. it is shown on the tips and tricks page of the website but column width cannot be changed on the dashboard. can be modified in focus mode but does not change the main dashboard? im my case it pretty much renders my dashboard useless. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-dashboard-tiles/

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

better sizing would be great; in my experience I had a columned report and could not narrow the columns in a tile nor narrow the tile - it jumped between 2 sizes - either too wide or too narrow

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

Sparklines are central to dashboard visualisation.

Use Case: As a "manager" I need "a dashboard with groupings of multiple sparklines" so that "I can understand performance trends at-a-glance".

When I pin a small sparkline from my PowerBI report to my PowerBI Dashboard the sparkline tile is blown up to the to the size of a line chart?

Result? I cannot use PowerBI as a Dashboard and use a PowerBI report instead.

Dashboards should be so much better than they are and this would definitely be a step in the right direction
