[@daphneselladurai4916]

@HowtoPowerBI €2,750 for Indian rs it's 2lack rupees 😳 😱 OMG

[@daphneselladurai4916]

It is tooo costly

[@sholder9933]

Your design here is brilliant and can really up my designs, but I agree with the others that the price is too steep. Offer your course as a video package at 1/4 of the price, and I would seriously consider it. Instead I'll watch your KZbin videos that are free (missed opportunity).

[@Adrian-jg1pg]

This is probably the best PBI visualization video out there...it's actually what other "trainers" would attempt to cover in a paid course but many don't get even close. Well done and thanks for sharing your insights with the community.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Wow, thanks Adrian! Really appreciate this feedback.

[@spilledgraphics]

EXACTLY what Adrian just said. 🔥🔥🔥 amazing Bas! mind-blown 👉🤯👈

[@rschloch]

@@HowtoPowerBI couldn’t agree more. I’ve been fishing for videos to wrap my head around this…your videos are by far the most simple and straightforward to follow. I made a huge leap yesterday after watching just one of your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheActurialRepository]

This guy is a beast. Efficiently covers everything

[@Soulenergy31]

7:08 area charts! 7:54 data labels 9:40 customed formatted 10:38 increase readability of by category 11:41 love this trick Bass, thank u!!! 12:57 adding PowerPoint background 15:32 update font color 16:34 color website reference 17:56 gradient formating

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks for the time stamps :)

[@deeyadeli1435]

I have made a few dashboards using Excel with queries, pivot tables, and VBA. But my company just started using Power BI. This is exciting to see what can be achieved with this software. Thank you for the great video.

[@CJ-jc8tn]

So much packed into 'only' 32 minutes. Easily hours of learning material here to review and go back over. Excellent work Bas -- as always! Thanks for all the wonderful videos you've put together over the past year or so. The quality and content is superb. Conor

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Hi Conor! Super happy to hear from you :) thank you for this motivating feedback! Glad you are still watching 😊

[@vesta_zvezdochkina]

I consider myself rather skilled in power bi but your videos are a real gold that taught me so much! Thank you for helping the community, you are amazing!

[@ragragrec1]

This is hands down the best design video Ive seen for a PB tutoral. Thankyou so much for the step by step tutorial,

[@eleftheriosioannidis2144]

Hey Bas, this is absolutely great tutorial! The way you are manipulating the colors, the shapes and your creativity on the UX side is unparallel. Also, thank you for explaining the differences between the bookmark's options! Really good job.

[@vickarkhan]

Amazing content. there was so much more that you taught than my anticipation. And you made it so simple and straightforward to consume. thanks for the video. one request though, can you also make a video on creating custom themes as it's very helpful in multi-page reports and for creating organization's template specific reports.

[@nattyb2322]

Bas you are helping people like me not only keep their jobs, but seriously level up for promotion consideration. Thank you for all that you do and thank you for making it freely available!!!!!!!!

[@sirmudkipactually]

Finally someone that makes Power Bi videos fun and interesting, huge props to your sir (and the team behind if there is one) the mad lads

[@jaredalbin5658]

Man this is so clean. I'm a Senior Data Engineer, teaching a night database class at a community college. Teaching PowerBI and wanted to show them a few tricks. This is a perfect demo man! Thank you!

[@yannkitson116]

I admit it! I came back to watch the video again :) I'm impressed by the very subtle changes that makes a huge improvement. Thank you for sharing.

[@stefanociurlia6267]

This visualisation video is amazing, not only topics of power bi but also external resources that can be considered part of the UI world are included. Really thanks for sharing!

[@es8560]

This report design is stunning. Many thanks for sharing with the community. You're the best!!🤝

[@mekuzeeyo]

this about the best video online. learnt so many techniques in 33 minutes. thank you

[@edimathomas-cr4km]

Following along on this tutorial was a bit challenging for me cos I'm very new to Power BI. But I must say, this is the Best Power BI Tutorial I've seen so far on KZbin. This man deserves a big kiss on the cheek and a tight hug.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@ericrudawski8586]

This was fantastic, thank you! Had been looking for a way to "expand/collapse" views in power bi and the bookmark method is excellent.

[@chrisnisbet2904]

The single best dashboard video you need! So many techniques to make stunning visuals!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

[@nayeem3905]

We need to get you the MVP award from Microsoft. You deserve it.

[@MyRAVI3]

After Watching your video I am really your fan. I have never seen this type of designing in Power BI.

[@robertgioia5049]

Tremendous video! Thank you for sharing all of the little tricks and workarounds! Your presentation skills are excellent!!

[@PatriceMeijboom]

I love making the visuals more Dynamic using quick teicks in PPT and the bookmarks. Also the ground rules of making design easier and pixel perfect are very much appreciated

[@oscareddytrejos]

Thanks for the detailed steps in the video, keep going!

[@analyticswithadam]

So many tips picked up from this video, Thanks Bas.

[@jaymehta3320]

This was mind-blowing! Thanks for sharing this. The idea with the background in PPT and importing it in Power BI opens up so many options.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Happy to hear you find this useful Jay!

[@MidoBroski]

Honestly, one of the best PBI development videos I've ever watched and I don't usually comment on videos! Keep it up and looking forward to more!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

[@gerardcanals1526]

Hello! Amazing content! I have one question for you. In our team, we are discussing the idea of using or not using "scroll" in the pages of the reports. What do you recommend?

[@taimbilalal-bakri6916]

Simply the greatest “how to” video for PBI, very innovative and clever. Thank you.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

[@olavnuijten]

Fantastic video again, Bas, thank you! Very informative. Great trick with the transparency measure :-). Is there a way to change the colour of the black slicer button as well (other than using your awesome treemap trick)?

[@jessicap4527]

This video alone single handedly took my Power BI reports to a whole new level!!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sebastianmoritz2588]

You did a pretty good job creating a fancy looking report while I would say there are way better options to efficiently transport the message of the data. Would love to see a video on how to create a good looking dashboard following IBCS guidelines.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks a lot- Great idea

Of course, new design video is out!

[@user-tr2gz3ok5e]

Wow! A visual masterpiece a usual. I am able to follow step-by-step with your designs. You are truly next level. I definitely would love to more videos about overall design elements. I have been developing dashboards for a few years and now I can incorporate my graphical designer background. If you are able to do a video series on typography, that would be amazing. That's another simple yet extremely impact design feature that's off overlooked. I prefer to put significant development on the simple design features and expand out which is what you are gifted at accomplishing!!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

thanks a lot! nice idea

[@akusins]

Impressive video, I got new vision of formatting and new idea about transparency as measure. Thanks You mate!

Thanks Joel :)

[@vizwiz]

Fantastic video Bas! This high level of quality video and the detail you go into don't really exist in the Tableau community on YT. I have the biggest audience (I think) and was wondering if you'd be ok with me doing something very similar. Of course it wouldn't be a copy because the tools are different. I was thinking more about mimicking your process. Of course I'd link back to this in my description. Again, thanks for creating such great videos. You make it all look so easy and it's very inspirational.

[@basmazaki934]
