This video is so great that we feel exactly the same emotion again and again, and now Kurt is showing us some good method to finally tackle the 'beast'. Love the final portion of the video! Keep it up, Kurt!

Thank you for helping us enjoy working with Power BI and helping us change our Power BI day-to-day dev journey from an frustrating adventure to an enjoyable one ✅

I have been waiting for a thorough and useful explanation about Themes. Thanks Kurt!

[HachiAdachi]

UNUSUALLY emotional and animated Kurt has convinced (threatened) me into planning to invest my time setting up a proper theme file during this holiday break...

[AustinDoran-sp]

Thanks for the thoughts! Maintaining a theme file in our GIT repo sounds way better than re-applying formatting changes on each of our reports. Nailed it once again.

Once again you are taking reusability and efficiency to the next level! I was not aware of quite some details like using template color names for measures - really powerful timesaver
Thanks for explaining an sharing your template - awesome stuff to build up from! 💪👍

[TrassBI]

This topic was very much needed. Thanks for the information presented, as always, in a brilliant way! 👍

[sergiizelenko]

Amazing tips!!! I didn't know that you can actually reference theme colours in DAX!!! 🤯
Thank you so much!!!

[toulasantha]

Fantastic being able to use variable names from theme file in conditional formatting.

[barttrudeau]

Great insights on using measures more effectively for formatting. Thank you!

[huseyinburaktasci]

Great insights! It seems that it's one of the points that bothers Kurt a lot 😁 The content was beneficial, and the explanation was clear, as always! Thank you!

[gvitullib]

🤣🤣 Great Kurt. I can so relate to the nightmare task of formatting multiple visuals.

[mazchen]

Another benefit besides saving work: similar design across all your reports, which increases usability and user acceptance.

[kukeleku]

Looks like you did some formatting to your beard too!
Great video again. Creating a theme file is one of the first things I did when I joined my latest employer. It was a great way to impress my new colleagues. But as always, you taught me some new skills with this video too. Thanks!

[SamFisher-xy]

excellent video, thank you very much. I also found that formatting took me 4-5 times longer than initially thought. This will save time.

[nazimscr]

Great video, huge time saver, many thanks for sharing this😊

[alono]

Great tips! Many thanks. The end of the video is brilliant 😅

[VictorHugo-bdbf]

This is great; thank you so much, Kurt. I need a video course with all these nice tips.

[jeffweir]

Mate! Brilliant! It really <beep sound> me off that the "Conditional Formatting" option of databars does not itself let you use conditional formatting to DYNAMICALLY change things like min/max or colour based on what the user might be filtering on. GRRR!

Love the outtake outrage outburst!

[rafaelfigueiredo]

nice tips, love the ending, we've all been there 😁
