[@paulgallagher2987]

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

[@HowtoPowerBI]

that's awesome 😎😊 very happy to hear that my videos helped a bit!

[@mgcchkn]

You are definitely the best Power BI KZbinr 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!

[@Alexa_Eordogh]

100 % agree!

[@keagankemp6275]

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

[@IslamWay_80]

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

[@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

[@toughmanful]

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

[@paddy1144]

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

[@martinbubenheimer6289]

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!?" 😂

[@anteep4900]

yep 100%, practicality over style... doesn't mean you can't make nicer looking dashboards tho

[@nataschachantall7907]

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

[@lucaslive2010]

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

[@SilvanoMarrone76]

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

[@TainuiaKid1973]

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

[@shamf6624]

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 :)

[@lorrytang3337]

love your video... thank you so much for making this tutorial!!

[@abhishekstatus_7]

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 wooooow... So Thank you very very much :)

[@johnfraser7540]

@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!

[@faisalmahmood5278]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.Well done!👍👍

[@datactive859]

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

[@Marina-jv4dw]

It's awesome job! I very like ,how you create design reports!!!🤩👍👍👍

[@BigBoomOfDoom2]

Just found this channel, now subscribed. I've got some studying to do! Thanks very much, this was a great video.

[@PowerAnalyst]

You are a great mentor Bas. I really enjoyed all of your videos. Keep doing the same. God bless you.

[@Chime-In-CelebQuotes]

Thank you, bas you are the best .. today, i learned something new 😊

[@AHGAMBI]

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

[@rawwwr19]

Thanks a lot! Especially for alignment tips. I was struggling on how to prepare layout for visuals to make report look nice. Now I can do it in PowerBi.

[@SunilMathewMusic]

Brilliant Stuff Mate 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻 Love the tutorial & the design!

[@demitredacol]

Thanks for sharing you knowledge. I've watched a loot of your videos and it made me go to the next level.

[@rosembergrivera809]

This video is so useful! It´s hard for me thinking about improve charts and combine colors, and so on. Thanks!

[@juanm555]

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.

[@aminedj430]

truly learnt a lot from you will apply this to my next project

[@matthewhawkshaw3600]

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.

[@greenc1088]

can anyone confirm if this is still a problem? because I've used images

[@FranciscoVelazquezGimenez]

This was great! Amazing explanation, thank you so much, I subbed!

[@piotrkuc8936]

Great job, Thanks for sharing!

[@silviasolano4325]

Buenísimo, mi dashboard quedó hermoso, gracias

[@johnskilly]

Man! The more I learn about Power Bi the more I see how many basic things it lacks. Considering it´s something that been around for years, I can´t get my head around it. It should be called Workaround BI

[@HowtoPowerBI]

lol 😅 .. yea also don't get why some things like padding are not there .. but it is still doing a good job compared to most other "self-service bi tools" .. and over time I guess they will add those little annoying things are missing at the moment

[@johnskilly]

@@HowtoPowerBI also not to mention colours on charts changing when uploaded to the service. But that aside, thank you for your videos. Without them I´d be lost on some of these topics.

[@user-gh4zy8gu6q]

Thak you very much. Amazing video with amazing tips.

[@bree0227]

I really love your videos! Is there a way you can resize the example so it is bigger? Or zoom in some more? Or make your talking head smaller? Much appreciated if you can make this change. Your videos are made of great quality and I don’t want to overlook any part of it! Thanks again!

[@Alexa_Eordogh]

Great video, I love it! Thank you for sharing 👏

[@paulrockliffe2378]

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!

[@TheVineVerse]

Thanks MAte really Helped❤❤

[@luchamorro8937]

YOu are amazing , you have helped my a lot thanks so much Bas!!!!

[@joaoluismartins]

Nice Tips! Specially the one using the canvas screenshot to place correctly the objects on Power Point. For the white space I would also recommend to use the shadow without glowing and centralize it! A good way to do the white space without the need of another object in the canvas.

[@tbgr]

For the space calculation of the third table around 4min in the video, you could also fix the width of this table to 640 directly, put this table on the far right of your page then reduce the width to 500, works like a charm :)

[@ExcelTutorials1]

Dude, I love these tips. Very very helpful!!

[@ayushurmaliya5217]

you are awesome, fantastic stuff, and really helpful, design plays a massive role in dashboards and reports, honestly I had no idea I can make my reports and dashboard this attractive, Thanks again.

[@MrJordy29]

Hey! First I wanna say that your videos are amazing, thanks for that!. I would be verty interested to see a video where the result a beautiful chart is where you can find the amount + percentage change ( green/red). Just a tip for a next video ;). Again, thanks for all the tips you're giving with these videos!!!

[@sarveshdeshpande1772]

You are formatting king Bas !!!! Simply awesome ✌️

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks a ton Sarvesh, nice to hear that! 😊

[@HowtoPowerBI]

thx :)

[@dn2l]

Thank you. I learnt a lot.

[@tomerweil]

Thanks a lot for the video. Regarding the rounded corners, do you do it on the white space boxes around the visualz, or on the visualz themselves?

[@unnikrishnansanthosh]

Class BAS, thank you for sharing

[@Metzanine]

Very useful, thank you! I'm a bit puzzled, however, that the visuals are not closer to these modern styles out of the box.

[@francisjohn6638]

Learned a lot from your videos 😊

[@user-qc9fh6jr5b]

These simple designs go a long way! Concepts that everyone can follow without even being particularly well-versed in Power BI.

[@franciscogarcia4844]

Thanks is amazing. What program do you use to record the screen?

[@AshishJainPune]

I have started taking my Power BI report designs to the next level all because of the design ideas and trips and tricks from your videos. Thanks a lot for it. Is there a way you can also share the powerpoint slide from this video?

[@hansgettheflammenwerfer69420]

Hey man, new to your channel but I wanted to say. Your content, your presentation, your production value, its all top tier. You do individual consultancy right?

[@user-wq2dm3jm6j]

Дякую, дуже цікава і корисна інформація :)

[@pravinshingadia7337]

You are awesome. I’m addicted to your videos

[@AumpDoublea]

Thank you

[@rossanderson5218]

awesome videos! yes shadows are best! my favourite thing with shadows atm is making buttons when pressed look like there actually being pressed (look like there moving inwards and popping back out on click). just with use of shadows. :-)

[@ravikasturi7239]

This is awesome!! Curious to know if there are any tricks for PowerPoint style transformations to show/hide in Power BI

[@cdoogy7961]

Just listening to your voice makes me want to learn about powerbi

[@mohamedmorshed6233]

[@amandadickson2329]

Bas is there a way to display weather temp without having data on it? Might be a cool use case to investigate :) love the content

[@fahamfasihi3220]

[@PranayPawar1991]

Nice video. But what is the page size you kept at the start??
