Front-end is heavily underrated. Really good to see this in a video!

A similar design journey I use in Tableau. Figma is so important to create a nice base to put the dashboard on. Recently experimented with glassmorphism, love it!

[ADITYA]

This is Fantastic!!
UI is equally important in parallel to the functionality.
Thank you for the great work

It's amazing to see someone talking about things that I learned by heart during my journey.
It's like telepathy
hell yeah, I'm not alone 🎉

I have to disagree about using tables on a dashboard. Many times end users are familiar working with tables and want to be able to export data. Having a combo of visuals, KPI cards, and tables can work well if done right.

Also, until you start building your visuals it can be difficult to know what size to make the template shapes. For that reason I prefer to either make them in PowerPoint or in PBI once I know the layout of my visuals.

I want my 6 minutes back. I learned basically nothing about 'how to create beautiful reports'. It's NOT easy to do in Power BI.
Also, the insights about tables is plain wrong. Please DO USE tables in reports, they are awesome. But use them wisely.

I think that built background for reports on figma bring amazing visual results, but on point of view of maintenance this solution can be a little bit harmfull, I work for clients that build several reports and design a background for each one and to maintain those are hard. So I prefer stay simple on background and figma, and bring the max possible to the power bi theme.

The joke with Excel. In my company everybody is so used to it, they even ask: could it be in a table?

[hungphi]

Fantastic tips for us to make an aesthetic dashboards!!! Thank you guys so much!!!
I have a question also:
It seems like many dashboard creaters tend to draw a layout of dashboard first, then import it into power BI. I dont know the reason why they dont directly design in it Power BI after getting the codes of color pallettes from dashboard templates. Can someone explain for me this???

[GibertPlays]

Whoa! i love the adobe palette analyzer.

[cindycintiya]

Thank you for your information. Next time, I can make a beautiful report

[soy_leche]

This is great and I wish Microsoft would build stronger themes or a 'simple' builder which would make a professional looking dashboard from just drag/drop visuals.

[analyticswithadam]

This video was just what I needed. Thanks a lot guys.

[felipeoliveira]

Congrats for your journey. So much braveness

[mattmatt]

So, you basically have to recreate everything. It's not like you can download a ready template then drop your own measures and charts on it ?

I was hoping to see something related to the recent released "Microsoft Designer".
