Hi @DineshArivu 

At first you need to export the existing power bi theme that you want to use for other Power BI report. 

1. Open your Report in Power BI Desktop
2. Go to View tab → Themes → Save Current Theme (In your computer)

Note: If save is not available click Customize current theme -> Name and Color -> Give a random name then you can save it. 

Now open your new report and do these. 
Go to View tab → Themes → Browse for Theme -> Select previously exported theme

You are done. 

Find this helpful give a like and accept it as a solution. 

Thanks

Hi @DineshArivu, 

in Power BI Desktop, you can go to view, themes, save current theme. That will export the JSON.

Hi @DineshArivu,

You can create a JSON theme file to standardize your dashboard formatting. Here's how:

Step 1: Create the JSON file

Create a text file named MyTheme.json with this content (adjust to your requirements):

{
  "name": "Custom Theme",
  "dataColors": ["#4D1DA3", "#6941EB", "#FECB02", "#9D84F2", "#FED766"],
  "background": "#FFFFFF",
  "foreground": "#000000",
  "tableAccent": "#FECB02",
  "visualStyles": {
    "*": {
      "*": {
        "title": [{
          "color": {"solid": {"color": "#6941EB"}},
          "fontFamily": "Segoe UI",
          "fontSize": 12
        }]
      }
    },
    "page": {
      "*": {
        "background": [{
          "color": {"solid": {"color": "#4D1DA3"}},
          "transparency": 0
        }]
      }
    },
    "tableEx": {
      "*": {
        "grid": [{
          "gridVertical": true,
          "gridHorizontal": true,
          "rowPadding": 3
        }],
        "columnHeaders": [{
          "fontColor": {"solid": {"color": "#FECB02"}},
          "fontFamily": "Segoe UI Semibold"
        }]
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 2: Apply to Power BI

1. Open your Power BI Desktop report
2. Go to View tab → Themes → Browse for themes
3. Select your MyTheme.json file
4. The theme will apply to all visuals

Step 3: Customize further

Adjust colors in the JSON as needed. For more options, export an existing theme: View → Themes → Customize current theme → Export.

Best regards!
