Gradient Background

‎11-22-2017 05:27 AM

Hi everyone!

 

I was checking the Data Stories Gallery when I saw the Dashboard below and was wondering if it's possibile to create a gradient background on Power Bi Desktop. I couldn't find the tools to do so ... Any tips?

You create the gradient background offline and then place it on the canvas using Insert|Image.  Resize to fit the canvas and then select "Move to back". Hope this helps.

Thanks @tjd this will do it.

 

They should make it possibile to work with colours on Power BI Desktop so we don't have to upload images everytime.
