Designing a Quality Power BI Dashboard

Now we have created a dashboard and thinking that how to make it not just eye captivating but practical too.

Basically, dashboards are meant to show important key highlights at a first glance so for that would we remove the scroll bars? or shorten the content? let see.

a. Full Screen Mode:

The full screen is represented by a straight line with arrowhead one at the behind and the other at the front the full screen is used to present your dashboard or reports in the meeting or conference and it can also help to see things on small screen while working on the other task as they can be done both on same time without distraction. A pin can make the letter bold which is important it can be helpful in many ways for example sometimes only one number or letter is important.

b. Highlight important aspects:

 If you are in a hurry and your exam is in other half an hour so you would definitely read the important points at that time in spite of reading the whole paragraph so in this according to present the main highlights we have to bold the important points like increasing the font size of those points to show some difference with other unimportant points.

c. Focus Mode:

 The focus mode helps to expand the information more to see it in detail it may be a report that is crowded and want to zoom in so you can read it properly this is known as a focus mode it is represented by four arrows in an opposite side of each straight line.

d.   Customer Satisfaction should matter:

Most people like to read the information from top to the bottom so usually, people place high-level details at the top of the page on both sides, as some people like to read from left to right or some want to read from right to left.

e.   Using Right Visualization for Data:

For some data simple visualization is enough but for other data, it may call for a more complex visualization in this process you should use labels and other customization to help the reader. Be careful by using 3D charts, it is difficult for the human brain to interpret circular shape. Pie and other charts may look pretty but from that, we can't get the use of data visualization. Be constant with the chart's scale on its axis, do not clutter your charts with data labels that are not needed. The value in the bar chart is usually understood without displaying the actual number.

f.   Chart Sorted in Power BI Report:

In the power BI report, we can short visualization by the numerical value of each category or the name of a category in its chart. But not all values can be sorted which are the waterfall, map.
