In the Model view, we have a default All tables layout, which was created for us automatically by Power BI.
To modify this layout, follow these steps:
- Minimize the FIELDS and PROPERTIES panes by clicking on the arrow icon in the pane headers (>).
- Click on the tables and drag them closer together. Use the Fit to screen icon in the footer to zoom in on the table layout. You should now be able to clearly see the table names and columns in the tables.
- Move the Calendar and People tables to the center, at the top, and place the Budgets and Forecasts and Hours tables underneath these two tables. Use the Fit to screen icon in the footer to zoom in on the tables. Note that we cannot see all of the columns in the Hours table.
- Use the sizing handle at the bottom-right corner of the table to adjust the size so that we can see all of the columns in the table. When finished, your Canvas should look similar to this:
