How To Format Pages in Power BI (and holiday cards!)


How to format pages in Power BI

Hey there Reader,

This week we're delving into Page Formatting this week... how to customize how our Power BI canvas (that space that we build our visuals on) to look however we want.

The Page Formatting tools show up when you have nothing selected in your report. So, if you click somewhere on your Canvas that doesn’t have a visual, you’ll see a Page + Paintbrush icon show up on the Visualizations Pane. These are the options for customizing your page.

Holiday Cards? Holiday Cards!!

Every year I design a geeky holiday card (using Powerpoint/Excel/Power BI) and will also send out a regular old-fashioned hardcopy version to whoever wants one.

If you want one in your mailbox, just give me your location details on this form.

(yes, the card will be bell-centric, but not religious, or about Christmas. Just think "bells".)

You can pick my Power BI Brain

After 7+ years of using Power BI daily, I've come across (and sworn at) a LOT of error messages, things that don't make sense, and other challenges. You don't have to go through it all too... you can get me to help you through the challenges. Don't spend hours/days/weeks being frustrated... I've already gone through that FOR you. Talk to me. I can help.

Take care everyone,

Joe.
