The Desktop version of Power BI does not have a Global Font Size option such as what is found in Excel.

What this Global Font Size would do is set the font size for any visuals added to Reports. The issue I have come across that this would address is that when I drag a field from the Fields area it creates a list; but, if I change this list to a Slicer, the font size increases by 2 points.

It would nice to have consistent font sizing throughout the Visuals experience.

RE: Default Global Font Size

totally agree! it's time consuming having to change the font size tile by tile.

RE: Default Global Font Size

completely agreed. The current font default is too small thus requiring me to change every visual when I build reports. Please increase font size or give me ability to do it.

RE: Default Global Font Size

Would love if I could set a default text size so that I'm not having to change each piece of my table/matrix/chart every time I create something new!

RE: Default Global Font Size

Enabling a single place to set consistent font, and font formatting would save a lot of time

RE: Default Global Font Size

Please provide an XML configuration file where developers can set several default settings

RE: Default Global Font Size

yes we need consistent font size throughout the report. It takes a lot of time to manually change them. Please implement global font size.

RE: Default Global Font Size

As a starter, maybe just change the default setting to 11, and then later you can create a control to adjust that.
cheers
