How to Power BI - Invidious

How to Power BI

I am Bas and I am here to teach everything I know about Power BI. My journey started a long, long time ago with VBA, Power Query and finally Power BI. Over the years I've build DataTraining.io, where I train and consult international organizations in Power BI and Tableau. Recently, I have decided to take everything I know and share it online, so that I can help more people :)

Follow along to get an independent view on Power BI, Power Query and Power Apps.
I always share my honest take on features, applications and limitations.

DAX Expert + Design Skills = Successful Power BI Report
Wrong.

Successful Power BI Projects are not build on skills alone but rather on consistently getting the same areas right:

Purpose – what decision is this for?

People – users, stakeholders, expectations, politics.

Process – how requirements / visuals / validation / UX are handled and documented.

Preparation – data cleaning, modeling, naming convention, design consistency, messaging in and around it.

Performance – can it be faster / DAX written better? The answer is almost always YES, btw ;)

Presentation – does it look presentable?

Promotion – who and how will advocate for it?

The interesting part is that not every item needs to be executed 100% perfectly. But every one of them needs to be actively, and often repeatedly, addressed.

10 things I wish I knew earlier about report design in Power BI:

1. The first 5 seconds matter a lot more than anyone thinks.

2. Simple visuals are not a failure.

3. Layout is all about reading order.

4. Users don’t read labels as much as you think.

5. Report design starts long before Power BI opens.

6. In-Visual design matters much more than report page design.

7. Optimizing the filtering experience is the key for most reports.

8. Every additional chart TYPE significantly increases cognitive load.

9. Maintaining design consistency across report pages is an easy win.

10. Watching people use the actual report beats any other "feedback" format.

✨Power BI January 2026 Update | Highlights

1. Attach Reference to Copilot Chat (in Power BI Mobile App)
Add a Report or Semantic Model in the chat if you know exactly where the answer is.

2. Improved Color Picker FINALLY🚀
Reset to default is there!

3. Granular Reset Options in the Format Pane
Formatting can now be reset per section or per individual element instead of the entire visual.

4. Custom Icons in Azure Maps
Azure Maps support custom icons (see my video for more)

***
5. Persist hirarchy setting Field Parameters is also cool 🚀

Which one is your favorite?

❌ What people think Power BI Report Design is about:
choosing colors, fonts, a nice background and a few tricks to make it look interesting.

✔️ What it actually is:
- understanding who the user is and what decision they’re trying to make
- translating that into business questions and answers
- turning the list of requirements into concrete, testable visuals
- not choosing visuals by chart type and data type but by what makes most sense even if it is (potentially) "impossible in Power BI"
- deciding when a table is actually the best answer (and accepting it)
- grouping visuals into meaningful sets
- establishing a clear visual hierarchy (instead of a random mix of charts)
- simulating how the report could be used the “wrong” way and fixing it
- iterating based on feedback that’s often vague, late, and contradictory
- building robust feedback loops so the report improves over time with or without you
- setting up a plan of how and when to involve which users during the process
