Hi  @Sattu_98 ,

 

Power BI Dashboard is a page, often called a canvas, which monitors your business by fixing visualizations and showing better visualizations at a glance, but these visualizations are not generated out of thin air, we need to use Power BI Desktop features and built-in functions to compose the effect we want.

The visualizations you see in the dashboard are tiles, which can be a single visual, or all the visuals for the entire report, as well as images, videos, etc.

 

You can use the following process:

1. The source of the data used to display Visual effects in the dashboard is composed of the data that we have cleaned in Power BI Desktop.

After Power BI Desktop has cleaned the raw data into the data we need, we can use Power Query functions to manipulate the data into a form that suits our needs:

For example, you can use the merge or append function to form the table you want, delete columns to add new columns, you can also use the M function to convert the data in it.

2. You can then use the Dax function and the various Visuals on Power BI Desktop to compose the visualization you want.

For example:

Create "Total production" with maximum date:

Create measure:

Maxdate_Total =
var _maxdate=MAXX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Time Stamp])
return
SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[Time Stamp]=_maxdate),[Total production])

Use Card Visual:

Or create a bar graph of the "Good" values for each date.

3. After creating a Visual save this PBIX, click Pubilsh, uploaded to Power BI Service, you can see your report in the workspace you have created.

4. Depending on your desired effect, choose whether to pin a single visual or the entire report visual to the dashboard.
