Power BI Service
Although more likely to be done in Power BI Desktop, it is possible to perform the above steps in Power BI Service (Online), providing you have sufficient permissions assigned by the report / workspace owner.
As with Power BI Desktop, the process is the same regardless of report.
To check if you have permissions, look for the Edit option, indicated in the image below.
Click on it.
Note: If you don't see the option then you either need to request access or discuss the change with the report owner.
You should then be presented with something similar to the following
1. Once you see the Visualization panel, perform the steps as per the Power BI Desktop shown in the image above.
2a. Once you have made the changes, they will need saving to take affect.
2b. You will then need to exit Edit mode and return to the Reading view. This is regardless of if you need to save or not.
You can chose to discard any changes or save them (after clicking on Reading View) should changes have been made.
