Watching your videos has massivley raised my report design game over the past year. Thanks so much Bas.

You are definitely the best Power BI YouTuber 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]

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

[martinbubenheimer]

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!?" 😂

Wow, watched many videos and only after this one do I feel confident enough to do it. Thanks Bas

The best PBI videos I've ever seen. Thank you so much.

[TainuiaKid]

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

[toughmanful]

Amazing, I have been searching for something like this for few days now. Thanks a ton!!!

[johnfraser]

@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!

[paddy]

This guy should have so many more subscribers, the content is amazing and this series has been great so far

[nataschachantall]

Love all your videos, really well explained and useful for my daily work. Thank you Bas

[shamf]

great designing tricks especially the power point one. while i have been creating the very simple ones, what you showed is beyond what i thought. thankyou for sharing :)

[matthewhawkshaw]

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.

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.

Watching your videos, keeps me changing the report designs to make it more better and cooler and insightfull and customers are loving it more the way the new reports looks like, They are always like So Thank you very very much :)

[lucaslive]

Your content is amazing man! I always improve my projects using what I have learned from you.

[AHGAMBI]

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

[SilvanoMarrone]

Wonderful! You are an artist in modeling dashboards. Well done!!!

[datactive]

Thanks for such a brainstorm. After years of Power BI using, I figure out how to customize my own theme in the app TODAY

[paulrockliffe]

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!
