Global Formatting Settings

Can I create a “style sheet” for my reports?

 

i spent a lot of time and get totally bored with formatting visualisations individually.  I want a consistent look and feel across my visualisations.  This extends beyond colour (which seems to be what report themes are for).  I want to have the same size and colour, centred title, black border, category labels turned off, background colour grey on each card (for example).  I would like to pre-determine a set of formatting attributes for each visualisation type.

 

All ideas greatly appreciated.

    Hi Catch, 

     

    The best Power BI can offer is shown on this link here, but should do well for what you've asked:

      Thanks for the prompt reply!

       

      i had seen this article but hadn’t read it in depth and thought it applied only colour schemes.  I now see that I could use it to define properties such as font size, axis attributes etc. But I am daunted by the JSON language.  I see Power BI Desktop as a User application yet more and more I see that you need “programming” skills to do certain things which is a little disappointing.  A style sheet would be an obvious thing to include so hopefully we’ll see it one day.

       

      Thanks for your help.
