How amazing tips!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! ( Suggestion only for audio voice and wishing you a great success on sharing your knowledge to a lot of people )

Thanks for the video! Quick question... do you have any trouble with slicers when you turn it into a dark scheme? I can't find a way to change the color of the little squares where you select the option on the slicer, when with a dark background it just stays dark so basically it barely visible hehehe

Incrível! Eu estava pensando em construir um dashboard dessa forma e o seu vídeo apareceu. Obrigado pela explicação

Very nice idea, thank you. Consideration: Table Power BI theme could be redesigned with only 2 rows with columns ThemeName, FontColor, BackgroundColor where colors associated to every ThemeName would be on the same row as Dark and Light. In this way, you shouldn't need measure "Color for text". I didn't test it but I believe it should work.

[@captainplatform]

Thanks for watching and for the feed-back! I though of having something generic that could be easily updated in time and used for many cases. For example, if one day we need to add a new "category", like a specific color for a specific element, we'll have to add that as a row, and not as a column as that implies updating the schema. But I see your point, and indeed if we make it the way you suggest, we don't need to create a measure as we can use directly the value. It's easier to manage it in this way if we don't have a complex theme. On the other hand, if we have too many elements, that could become difficult to manage. It's good to have several solutions for same problem!

I loved your way to teach , I hope your speech appears on the screen as words while y r talking .. this is will be easier for those who are not fluent in English like me 😅😅😅

[@maximegouffe9976]

Very good video. Thanks for the tutorial

[@charchit5739]

I want more video like this keep going👍👍

[@charchit5739]

Please make full video on Power BI User Interface

[@captainplatform]

Thanks for watching! More videos on UX and UI will come soon😊

[@egytal88]

Keep going nice job. 👏👏👏👏

[@da6800]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Awesome. One question - Since you have to keep data selected on the bookmark, how do you keep the Fiscal Year slicer in your example from reverting back to the default "FY2020" if the end user has made a different selection?

[@captainplatform]

Thanks! When we create the bookmark we select only certain elements, such as the "Dark/light" slicer + toggle images AND update the bookmark to apply only to selected items (check minute 11:00). In this way, the bookmark will only consider those elements and not other that may be changed by the user. Hope it's clear!

[@joelluis4938]

Amazing feature ! 😁

[@monnavb]

Thanks for this amazing idea! Tried it, published the report in light mode. But, when I clicked on dark mode and revisit the report again, the dark mode gets retained but the visible button is the light button. I have to click the light button to reveal the dark mode then click again to toggle light mode. I might have missed something. Hoping for your reply. 🙂

[@captainplatform]

Hello, sorry for the delay in my response. I tried to reproduce the steps by publishing the report to service, but not getting the same problem. I suppose there is an issue with the bookmark and/or the 3 elements we are hiding/showing. Have you figured it out or not yet? If not, maybe you could sent me the file (with no data other that the theme of course) so I can check :)

[@shadrackawunyo7786]

Great video. I just subscribed

[@lagudaadeyemi8359]

can you please show how you make it affect on your report

[@achiever42]

what a great job, how ever, i tried the maintain layer order and save but I'm still experiencing of the visuals

[@captainplatform]

Strange, when you test, are you in Power BI service? Otherwise in Power BI desktop that won't work

[@kunkauene]

Muchas gracias! ♥

Sympa la vidéo, tu as un super anglais, accent travaillé, mais j'ai quand même percé le Français en dessous :-)

[@captainplatform]

Merci :)

[@yes4meliorism830]

It was awsome video please explain calculate measure I think it not typed correct or may be it is I an new bee in power Bi So I will be very thankfull.😊☺

[@captainplatform]

I am using measures in order to find the right hex code value corresponding to my text or my background, when selecting a theme. If I take, for example, the background color, I need to identify the hex code corresponding to that. To do so, I am using a calculate function, that will allow me to add a filter to it, and thus find the right value. The filter is Themes[Type]="Background" applied to a calculation that "selects" the value of our color : Selected background = CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE(Themes[Color]), Themes[Type]="Background"). This will get our color code, filtered by the type = Background. We apply the same logic to all our measures.

[@yes4meliorism830]

@@captainplatform you are a great teacher of Bi thanks for explaining.

Tava pensando o mesmo

[@thanomnoimoh9299]

It’s better if you had a microphone

[@captainplatform]

Thanks for watching and the suggestion! Will try to improve that the next time!

[@lmedits_]

I can hear her just perfectly👌👌

[@mohammedpatel9058]

You look like harmoini from Harry Potter

[@datactive859]

why don't we just make different pages and navigate between them

[@captainplatform]

That could be as well a solution. The issue is, if one day you modify the layout, add or change visuals on one of the pages, you'll need to copy/paste / do the same in the other one. With this solution, once you implement that for visuals, you can reuse it. Even if you change a legend, a title, or add an element, it keeps the dynamic formatting and so avoids you to have additional work. But of course, if you want a simple & quick way of doing it, you can create 2 pages and then navigate through them by using a button.

[@AuroraS934]

By doing that, you might introduce performance issues; also, if there are other slicers on the page and user has made some selection, unless you sync with the "duplicate" page, the content will be different from one page to the other, confusing user. Great video @Captain Platform!
