Unable to select downloaded JSON theme
Hi,
I've never attempted to upload an imported JSON Theme before.
I've downloaded the Coronavirus Themesfrom here:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Themes-Gallery/Coronavirus-Outbreak-Report-JCH/td-p/1008524
I then see the 'The theme was imported successfully' message
Where is it? When I open the themes i cannot see the Coronavirus Theme JCH.json listed amo
Yes that worked 😊
For some reason that JSON file is 6kb in size and so it actually contained info, whereas the others are empty:
Very strange but at least I know I was doing it correctly - thank you!

where are you looking? if you go into the design area of power bi ie view / custom them you wont see the json perse but the colours etc you should see under there. what are you expecting?
Thanks, thats exactly what I was expecting, to see the downloaded Theme in Themes menu / View
Is this not possible then?
on the theme menu under this report, hold your mouse over the theme and it should tell you which one it is
I open the theme with Notepad++ and this theme is incompleted, a lot of information are missing
This is why this theme is not working
Normally, after uploading the theme, it is applied automatically to your report
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I'm not sure why this is incomplete because I used this link:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Themes-Gallery/Coronavirus-Outbreak-Report-JCH/td-p/1008524
I then selected it and it downloaded on my laptop.
If you saw a Theme you liked in the Gallery, what are the steps that you would take in order to use this Theme for a report or dashboard? I'm obviously missing a step somewhere.
Thanks
can you share the json theme you used?
so i would first
to download the .json file from the file i liked
then in the pbix im transferring it to i would browse for current themes and upload it. however i have had problems in the past with this.
maybe if you share the json you using i can let you know if its a workable format or not.
