Step 19 − Switch Stacked Bar Chart Visualization to Table Visualization.
The changed font and font size are retained in the Table Visualization.
When you change the font in one Visualization, the same font is applied to all visualizations except for the font in a Map Visualization. You cannot have different fonts for different Visualizations. However, you can change the font size for individual visualizations.

Step 21 − Click on Number in the Number Group.
Step 22 − Click on Percentage in the Drop down menu.
The entire column containing the selected cell gets converted to the selected format.
You can format numbers in Card and Matrix Visualizations also.
Hyperlinks
You can add a Hyperlink to a text box in Power View. If Data Model has a field that contains a Hyperlink, add that field to the Power View. It can link to any URL or email address.
This is how you could get the sport images in Tiles in Tiles Visualization in the previous section.
Printing
You can print Power View sheets in Excel 2013. What you print is what you see on the sheet when you send it to the printer. If the sheet or view contains a region with a scroll bar, the printed page contains the part of the region that is visible on the screen. If a sheet or view contains a region with tiles, then whichever tile is selected is the one that prints.
Support for right-to-left languages
Power View in Excel 2013 supports right-to-left languages. Power View takes the setting for default direction from Excel. You can change those settings.
Step 1 − Click on File.
Step 2 − Click on Options. The Excel Options window appears.
Step 3 − By default, the direction has two options Right-to-left and Left-to-right.
Step 4 − Set the default direction to Left-to-right.
Step 5 − Click OK.
Step 6 − Change the default direction to Right-to-left.
Step 7 − Click OK. You can see that the columns are now starting from the right side of the screen as shown in the image given below.
Microsoft Office supports right-to-left functionality and features for languages that work in a right-to-left or a combined right-to-left, left-to-right environment for entering, editing, and displaying text. In this context, “right-to-left languages” refers to any writing system that is written from right to left and includes languages that require contextual shaping, such as Arabic, and languages that do not. You can change your display to read right-to-left or change individual files so their contents read from right to left.
If your computer does not have a right-to-left language version of Office installed, you will need to install the appropriate language pack. You must also be running a Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support — for example, the Arabic version of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 — and enable the keyboard language for the right-to-left language that you want to use.
