Crazy Christmas Dashboard

SamLester — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 23:57:12 GMT

As part of my Power BI 12 Days of Dashboards series, day #12 brings this big project to a close with a Christmas Dashboard socked full of a few new tricks I learned throughout the creation of the blog series.

In the customer environments that I support, I don’t get a chance to use marquees, background images, and animated snowfall backgrounds, so this final wrap-up dashboard seemed like a perfect time to add them all in! :)

Check out the "12 Days of Dashboards" blog series for additional dashboards leveraging fun data sources (Fitbit, Twitter, Goodreads, Amazon.com Order History, Meetup, NFL Football, and several more).

Thanks,
Sam Lester (MSFT)

zeehanrodriguez Hi, to set a background image, open your dashboard and click on any white space in the report (i.e. don't select a visual). Then click on the Format tab on the right. Here you'll see the Page Background option where you can select an image/color, etc.

Thanks,

I updated the original blog entry with notes on creating the scorlling marquee text since I received a few questions on it.
