Crazy Christmas Dashboard 01-19-2017 23:04 PM

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,

May I ask for tip/s on how to create a customized bavkground? Thanks!

@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,

Thank you! how about that moving " Happy Holidays"? is that a custom visual? Thanks!

By the way, this question is already covered. 🙂 Found it! Thanks!

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