(Livestream Replay) Top Secrets of Power BI Report Design! - with Mara Pereira

ABSTRACT ๐Ÿ“

A lot of the focus on Power BI report development goes to the backend (transforming and cleaning data, data modelling, DAXโ€ฆ). However, most people that will use your reports will not be able to see that backend, they will be interacting with the frontend. So, a question came up: why are most Power BI Developers not putting a lot of effort into the frontend of their reports? The answer was surprising: developers didnโ€™t feel they were very creative, they struggled to understand what good/bad looks like. During this session, we will be discussing how to approach frontend development in Power BI, and we will be learning about some of the tricks that you can use to make sure your designs always look great! You will learn how you can get ideas for creativity, how to apply those ideas, and no, you donโ€™t need to be a Picasso!
