    Like other visual editing packages, would be good if it was possible to drag and select multiple visuals.

    RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals

    This is a frustration. I had to demonstrate skill in this environment to a client today and I looked like a jerk for assuming -- naively, it seems -- that this rudamentary feature existed. First it was embarassing, and then it was annoying when I had to move the objects one by one and adjust controls' properties one by one to get them to line up again in their new location. "Good to know where the money goes!" the client declared. Thanks for that.

    This would be really helpful.

    As mentioned already, basic selection functionalities(selection cursor, grouping objects) that are already available in most your other products is a must if you want us to be able to make and update professional looking dashboards without going crazy micromanaging every object.

    Should be able to group objects together as you do in almost all other applications.

    Pretty sad that the design interface for PowerBI is WORSE than it was for Visual FoxPro, 15 years ago.

    FIX THIS.

    Control clicking is so boring

    Essential feature for rapid development (and very frustrating without it!)

    it is impossible to control click multiple visuals with action w/o triggering the action - terrible bug
