Study Notes
Power BI Dashboards
- Dashboards are single-page displays of visualizations from reports and data sets, updating in real-time
- Dashboards act as gateways; clicking a tile leads to the source report
- Dashboards condense information, showcasing only what's crucial to a specific narrative, unlike reports which may have multiple pages.
- Dashboards can draw from multiple reports and datasets, providing a composite view of situations or processes.
- Dashboards are created only in the Power BI service. Reports and data sets first need to be published from Power BI Desktop.
Creating a Dashboard
-
Create a report in the Power BI service by connecting to a data source, modeling, and creating visuals.
-
The simplest method to make a dashboard is to "pin" visuals from an existing report.
-
Open the report in edit view, select a visualization, and select the Pushpin icon.
-
Specify a name for the new dashboard, and click "Pin".
-
The new dashboard is created in a default workspace and displays the pinned visualization.
-
Pinning additional visuals involves choosing the "Existing dashboard" option.
-
Media content and other materials can be directly added as tiles using the "Add tile" dialog box.
Sharing Reports and Dashboards
- Sharing content requires a Power BI Pro license or a Power BI Premium workspace
- To share, click the "Share" icon on a dashboard or report.
- The "Share report/dashboard" dialog box appears.
- Specify recipients and choose options for recipients to reshare, create new content using underlying datasets, or receive email notifications.
