- 2. Effective Power BI dashboards deliver clarity and drive better decisions. Dashboard Design: Driving Business Impact Poor design leads to confusion and missed opportunities. Focusing on business goals is key to dashboard success. Well-designed dashboards empower leaders to focus on what matters most. Start with Clear Business Objectives Define the business problem the dashboard solves. Prioritize decision-maker needs and key questions. Align visuals with measurable KPIs and goals. Avoid overwhelming users with irrelevant data.
- 3. Use visuals that match the analysis type (bar, line, pie, KPI). Choose the Right Visuals for the Right Insights Bar/Column: Comparisons. Line: Trends. Pie/Donut: Proportions. KPI: Snapshots. Minimize chart types for easier interpretation. Organize Layout for Easy Navigation Place the most important metrics at the top or top left. Group related charts and KPIs logically. Use whitespace to separate content areas. Maintain consistency in colors, labels, and formatting.
- 4. Keep It Focused and Clean Avoid clutter by limiting visuals per page. Ensure text is readable, and tooltips are helpful. Do not use 3D charts or distracting effects. Use filters, slicers, and drilldowns for interaction without overload. Design for Actionable Insights Dashboards should enable action, not just observation. Show progress towards goals with alerts and benchmarks. Integrate KPIs, targets, and benchmarks. Connect insights directly to business.
