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

Please provide grid control (width and height) and snap it. This is similar to what we have in Power point.

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

The inability to change sizes is making me consider switching to Sisense. Power BI has been pretty easy to learn and sure the price is right, but if over a year's worth of comments wont get something basic like this improved, then you guys obviously don't care about customers.

Definitely required. See https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/6718989-resize-and-freely-position-dashboard-tiles and https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/13386180-customize-dashboard-tiles-that-contain-tables

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

Adjustable tile sizes would be a real step forward.

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

It's a great addition, if we could resize the dashboard elements to smaller size whatever we need.

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

It would be great to edit the dimension of Power BI dashboard tiles. Even the text boxes with few words on it are too wide and long which doesn't appear nice on the dashboard

RE: Reduce the size of the tiles on the dashboard

Wanted to vocally add my support to this idea. I too am frustrated with the size limitations. Many times I'm finding that the tile size is either too small or too big. We need to be able to adjust the tile sizes in smaller increments. This would help with dashboard layout and design. If I can make my dashboards better, my bosses will like them, and there will be further buy-in into the value of BI. Dashboards are the last step but might be the most important step. Please invest some time and resources into them.
