Good Report Layout Examples

[AnthonyTilley]

HI All,

does anyone know any good resources for laylout designs. im not the most artistic person and the main negative feed back i have been recieving in relation to my power bi reports is the laylout a design. mainly looking for some example PBIX files that can show some diffrent layout methods.

also does anyone have a cheat sheet on the dimensions of common element s in power PI. i strugle with things like making tables fit nicely inside a mobile layout or Dashboard tile. 

Any hints Tips or Tricks are welcome.

Regards,

Anthony

From my experience, the best way to ensure a good layout is to start with something like a canvas grid - https://bit.ly/3myXP5B. A canvas grid can be used to help build a consistent range of reports that have the correct alignment and dimensions.

Resources for Layout Examples + Element Dimensions

https://bit.ly/3ogNfkg - I use this as a collection of great dashboard examples for layouts, dimensions and designs. Great for gauging the dimensions of elements as well.

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Data-Stories-Gallery/bd-p/DataStoriesGallery?sortby=kudos - Great for getting inspiration from other Power BI reports, some have great layouts to use a guide.

PBIX Templates/Layouts

https://www.numerro.io/ - Loads of Power BI design material here + free PBIX report with good layout and visuals.

Really interested by the idea of the canvas grid https://bit.ly/3myXP5B (as default one is useless).

Anyway to find the pbix?
