    You are definitely the best Power BI CZcamsr I've found! All your videos are great and flow really well. I've seen lots of people that have good info, but their presentation skills are lacking, or vice/versa. You combine info and presentation skills equally at an expert level. Keep up the great work!

  • @gmlobo
    @gmlobo Před rokem +5

    Great video, for the alignment and distribution, like power point, Power BI has a tool to equally distribute and align these forms. Select the forms > Arrange > Align > Distribute Horizontally

  • @martinbubenheimer6289
    @martinbubenheimer6289 Před rokem +20

    Very nicely done. One idea for usability of reports that are used in meetings: It might make sense to use colors for categories that can clearly and easily be named without confusing it with other colors. Otherwise discussions might go like: "Can you explain that small dark turquoise section?" - "You mean this one?" - "No, not the cadet blue one. The slightly darker one." - "That one?" - "No, that's the dark sea green one." - "What!?" 😂

  • @matthewhawkshaw3600
    @matthewhawkshaw3600 Před rokem +12

    Love the simple design tips! Be careful using background images as it often breaks the accessible colour modes (I believe - unless it’s been fixed recently). Won’t always be critical depending on your audience and how your reports are used.

    • @greenc1088
      @greenc1088 Před rokem

    @HowtoPowerBI brilliant set of tricks, as a Product Owner and not a PowerBI user at all, I followed these and the difference is incredible, the reports now look sharp, modern, well laid out, aligned etc. Really useful!

  • @juanm555
    @juanm555 Před 11 měsíci +3

    the technique at 7:10 might be good for when you are trying to group several visuals together, however nowadays I just use padding to create the same effect (plus less objects to compete for processing). I find that 15-20px padding looks quite nice in a lot of ocassions.

  • @TainuiaKid1973
    @TainuiaKid1973 Před rokem

    Great pointers. Design is currently my weakness, so very appreciative of this excellent tutorial. Thanks Bas! 😀

  • @paulrockliffe2378
    @paulrockliffe2378 Před rokem +5

    I think trick number 6 would be to set the Report Wallpaper to match or contrast so it stays looking nice, but then Step 7 would be to make sure your App colours are set to match too. Then you remember that you can't set custom colours in your App and it all falls down!
    It's worth bearing in mind that you might want to constrain your design choices so they still work really well wherever the report ends up being embedded, Teams, Sharepoint, the PowerBI App, Report Service and Apps all wrap slightly different stuff around your design. The lack of Custom App colours really annoys me!

    I really love your videos! Is there a way you can resize the example so it is bigger? Or zoom in some more? Or make your talking head smaller? Much appreciated if you can make this change. Your videos are made of great quality and I don’t want to overlook any part of it! Thanks again!

  • @joaoluismartins
    @joaoluismartins Před rokem +3

    Nice Tips! Specially the one using the canvas screenshot to place correctly the objects on Power Point.
    For the white space I would also recommend to use the shadow without glowing and centralize it! A good way to do the white space without the need of another object in the canvas.

  • @AHGAMBI
    @AHGAMBI Před rokem +1

    The formatting tab has the Align button that lets you do automatic distribution to get even spacing either horizontally or vertically.

    Man! The more I learn about Power Bi the more I see how many basic things it lacks. Considering it´s something that been around for years, I can´t get my head around it. It should be called Workaround BI

    • @HowtoPowerBI
      @HowtoPowerBI  Před rokem +8

      lol 😅 .. yea also don't get why some things like padding are not there .. but it is still doing a good job compared to most other "self-service bi tools" .. and over time I guess they will add those little annoying things are missing at the moment

    • @johnskilly
      @johnskilly Před rokem +1

    I am using some png images as my background for a report. I wanted to make sure that the images are of a high quality but unfortunately Power BI takes some time to load the background and my visuals seem kinda incomplete for a brief while. I tired SVG while exporting from PowerPoint but the text gets misaligned for some reason. Any suggestion you have would be much appreciated. Thanks!
