Can you sort and filter data in Power BI?

Actually this is one of the new features in the June 5, 2018 update of Power BI. In the other posts 1 , 2 ()you can review enhancements to Donut and Pie charts.

Here in, the improvements in this update allows you to sort columns and filter them ver effectively.

The data in Excel is shown here:

Sort_Filter_0
The data from this post is as shown in Power BI:

How do you configure Donut labels inside or outside the donut?

Again this feature is available in the June 5, 2018 update of Power BI.

Here the labels are outside the Donut.

Here is how you make them move inside the Donut.

You can also have label's text to overflow if it is not contained.

Some labels inside and others outside.

Overflow set to Off.

In the same way PIE Charts are also handled.
