Here are the top five Power BI report design mistakes you should avoid.? #powerbi
·? Overcomplicating Visuals: Using too many charts, graphs, and visuals can make a dashboard cluttered and hard to understand. It's important to keep visuals simple and focused on the key metrics.
·? Ignoring Data Quality: Poor data quality can lead to incorrect insights and decisions. Always ensure that the data being used is clean, accurate, and up-to-date before building reports and dashboards.
·? Neglecting Performance Optimization: Large datasets and complex calculations can slow down Power BI reports. Optimize data models, use efficient DAX formulas, and apply proper indexing to ensure smooth performance.
·? Lack of User-Centered Design: Failing to design dashboards with the end-user in mind can result in reports that are difficult to use and interpret. Understand the needs and preferences of the target audience to create intuitive and actionable dashboards.
·? Inadequate Security Measures: Power BI reports often contain sensitive data. Failing to implement proper security measures, such as row-level security, can lead to unauthorized access to confidential information. Always ensure that data access is appropriately restricted.
