Full json file from power bi default theme

Hi all,

 

I am looking for a full json file from a default theme.

It would be useful to understand how we can set up detailed options within the file.

 

I am currently reading this Microsoft's tutorial https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/power-bi/desktop-report-themes but the lack of a demo file make it a little bit esoteric 🙂

 

Do you know where I could download this kind of file ?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Benjamin

Hi @Anonymous

 

Save an empty .pbix with the theme you want and close it. Then open that file with file compression software (Winzip, 7-zip, ...). A pbix is actually a compressed file. Once into the file, go to

...\Report\StaticResources\SharedResources\BaseThemes\

and there you'll find the json file for the theme.

 

Another option is to have a look at the templates here or here 

 

Cheers

Not a sample file but this github repo contains all the names, types & properties in the base visuals in power BI

powerbi-desktop-samples/Report Theme JSON Schema/reportThemeSchema-2.129.json at main · microsoft/po...

I'd recommend putting it into VS code formatting the document (Shift-Alt-F) & using control-F to find things
