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.
