Power BI: Data Visualization and Dashboards

Program Overview

A Power BI report can contain correct numbers and still fail if users cannot find the answer they need. This programme focuses on the visual and user experience layer: dashboard planning around user questions, visual selection, layout grids, custom themes and branding, conditional formatting, bookmarks and buttons for guided navigation, tooltips and drillthrough, mobile layouts, accessibility features and pinned dashboards with data alerts in the Power BI service.

✓Choose and configure visuals that communicate comparisons, trends and exceptions clearly.
✓Apply a custom JSON theme and consistent layout grid to match organisational branding.
✓Build guided navigation using bookmarks, buttons, drillthrough and report page tooltips.
✓Design mobile layouts and apply accessibility settings such as alt text, tab order and contrast.
✓Create a Power BI service dashboard with pinned tiles and data-driven alerts.
