Impressive video! In my role as a Power BI developer, I collaborated with a UI/UX Designer team using Figma’s dashboard templates. Initially, translating Figma’s sophisticated designs to Power BI was a challenge, but I found a time-saving solution by adapting Figma templates as background images as you were doing. Now, I can effortlessly design my own backgrounds.
A tip: export as SVG for optimal image quality in Power BI backgrounds.

Loved the video! Quick question about that background picture at 1:32 - the blue and green waves one. Did you get that from FIGMA? Where do you find these cool abstract shapes?

Thanks!

Christine - Would you suggest I get into Figma or Powerpoint for this type of solution? Thanks.

As for mobile view, you’ll need to create another layout for that too?
