Maybe I'm missing it, but there's no incremental zoom slider for Reports in Power BI Desktop. I also tried using the standard CTRL+Wheel used ubiquitously elsewhere. I really need to be able to view parts of the report easily, and zooming in to the same location as the mouse pointer would be ideal. I know you can do it, since you already provide Report zooming to page width

RE: Zoom in report view Power BI Desktop

This would be a great feature to add to the Data view as well, especially for users with modern day high resolution monitors. At 2560 x 1440 on a 27" display, the Data grid view is extremely difficult to read.

Would love to see an Excel-like slider to zoom in and out, along with the standard mouse integration Ctrl + Wheel.
