    Hi Anonymous 

    Unfortunately, Power BI doesn't have a built-in feature to add borders around entire report pages, but here are several effective workarounds:

    A)

    1. Create a border image in any design tool (PowerPoint, Photoshop, etc.)

    2. In Power BI:

      • Go to Format pane → Page background

      • Enable "Background image"

      • Upload your border image

      • Set transparency to 0% and position to "Fit"

    B)

    1. Insert Shapes  Rectangle from the Home tab

    2. Format it with:

      • No fill (transparent)

      • Border color/thickness of your choice

      • Position behind all other visuals

      • Size to match page dimensions (use Format pane for exact measurements)

    C)

    1. Add a blank visual (from the Visualizations pane)

    2. Place it behind all other visuals

    3. Format with:

      • Background color slightly different from canvas

      • Padding set to create border effect
