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

It definitely is not.

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

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!

Thanks!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching. 👊

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.

[@mrZerg00s]

I agree. The reports look amazing, but I also work with clients who want changes several times per month. I sometimes add, remove or resize visuals. Perhaps, it's best to come up with a background that does not have specific areas for every single visual.

[@leonardskynyrd6319]

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.

[@Alex_FR_IT]

My 2 cents: some people are familiar with writing letters rather than sending emails, and that's ok. But not if you want to be competitive and efficient. That's of course different if the user is an analyst but in that case the dashboard is not for him/her ;)

[@ArisPLteles]

@@Alex_FR_IT Hehehe - thats the point you are missing. There is no real difference between letters and e-mails. You only changed a driver. But still user is doing similar thing (writing text to send to someone), you don't take anything from them, you just improved their workflow. Very often "tech guys" are so obsessed with tools that they use so they loose contact with the business user. And it ends as she said "stay with Excel if you want to use table". I appreciate the material she shows here, but it is the dumbest thing that you may say to the final user. So a form cannot be more important then a purpose. And UX designers and front-end developers sometimes forget that their client is not tech-savvy. So if you want to make a dashboard and modern reporting to a controlling or finance department you need to translate their needs to your tool. Do not expect that business user will adjust heaviliy. Because you will have great looking dashboard that will be used by noone! As they will do what she said there - stay with Excel...

[@Alex_FR_IT]

@@ArisPLteles changing the driver is a key factor if driver 1 reaches destination in 10 days and driver 2 in 1 hour. And that's my point which you seem to miss/ignore: you can still use pen and paper and a calculator rather than using Excel and that's ok if you want to. But others using another tool like Excel will achieve much more in much less (be more competitive). Refusing to adopt a tool is a right. But there's no right to force the competition to do the same and beat you ;)

[@antonychan11]

Tables exist in PowerBI for a reason, it is OK to use it as long as it is useful for the end users. One good example is users can copy values directly from the table.

[@analyticswithadam]

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

[@thanhle13]

Great tips! Thank you, Adam and Mara.

[@GibertPlays]

Whoa! i love the adobe palette analyzer.

[@maci6990]

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.

[@alicedwonderland7733]

I agree with the table comment; they are essential to actually follow up on information in the report, and they fact they're right there makes users come back. And that dismissive laughter at Adam's question that they could be exported to Excel was quite annoying.

[@mattmatt245]

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 ?

[@arunepsilon]

That's pretty impressive 😇 thanks for the valuable points.

[@cindycintiya6680]

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

[@hungphi706]

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???

Hi Sir, if there is a set of different Excel files and there are steps applied to them, like merge, combine and group, and there is an update in one/many Excel files in terms of values and it is not possible to update each and every column value, in this cane how can we replace the Excel file/files (keeping the same file name) so that the all the steps can/will be applied as it is after file replacement

[@mauroviegas1623]

hey guys, really cool vid! One question, when I export from figma as SVG or PNG it always stay from white gaps on the page when inserted to PBI... I've tried a lot of settings like fit but it cannot fill the entire page. Is there anything you can help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

[@GuyInACube]

I've seen that come up before. I need to go back and see what the outcome of it was.

[@Yinusa00]

amazing stuff

[@lanex1635]

This is Impressive, I don't usually focus on front-end as I'm bad at design. I'm currently working on a Data integrity dashboard and Most of my page are table visual since technically I want to show our user on what record they need to fix that's why I put table visual. Any Idea how can I improve my design layout on this kind of report?

How to make dashboard in powerbi?

[@BCToby]

Thank you for the great video. We are big fans of the don't use a table approach, however we recently were tasked with building a lookup solution for multiple projects. In a nutshell users need to use certain metadata to filter and find a set of projects which match certain criteria and want to see multiple sets of information for each project and compare against other projects all at once. We felt we had no choice but to use a table, and the report was definitly not beautiful, but the end users found it functional. Is there another approach we could have used to avoid tables?

[@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.

[@Freeflier1978]

Try telling accountants that a table isnt neccessary. Which is why I have toggles to switch the body of a report to a table if they want to see it. But I do have an extensive Transaction register table for them to isolate transactions when anomaly logic flags errant amounts.

[@natsarev]

I think you can also try and upload layouts from dribbble to midjourney to generate more uniq variations
