FPBIPT #71 - Consistent Power BI reports with templates and themes

Do you find yourself spending a significant amount of time repeatedly preparing your Power BI report canvas and defining your visual characteristics, struggling to maintain consistency throughout?

Working neatly, clutter-free, and consistently is important, but it can also give you a lot of headaches.

Did you know it is relatively easy to extract your theme from Power BI and manipulate it to eliminate rework?

Combined with a standard background template, this will save you a lot of time and make consistency much easier.

In this session, we will first examine dashboard design best practices and explore Power BI's standard functionalities. Next, we will briefly examine how to prepare background templates in Figma. Finally, I will guide you through everything you need to know about JSON design themes.
