Help with formatting

 

The report that I made is a line chart and I would like to make the same chart numerous times, with different data but with the same formatting that I applied to the visual such as the legend, the data colors, the y-axis, and data labels. Is there a way I can save only the formatting I created and then upload the new data without the need to format the chart each time I make a report? My goal is to upload data and have each report have the same type of formatting.

 

I would also like to be able to upload data as a percentage. The data I am working with is in percentages and I realized that I am needing to format several columns into a percentages and would like to know if there is a simpler or quicker way of doing that.

    Hi bcastillo

     

    You may copy the formatted chart and then replace the data with the new uploaded data. Based on my research, there is no way to upload data as a percentage. For your requirement, you may submit an idea here.

      how do I upload the new data into the chart? When I open the template I made and upload new data it creates a whole new set of data and I am not able to use it on the template.

        Hi bcastillo

         

        The way is supported in Power BI desktop. There is no way for your request in Power BI Service.
