very interesting and very useful... not only for power bi -- it gives me insight on how to design a dashboard with best standards, avoid common errors & how to select appropiate charrt, etc.. thank you so much for your help Marco Russo & team !!!
I especially loved the best practices in the beginning:about data to ink and readability: 6:00 Also, about having a comprehensive breakdown starting at 7:56 (keep everything at glance, keep it simple, align elements, be clear, start from zero, shorten the numbers, choose the right colours, pick the right charts) See “cure” at 23:24- Black background is bad idea 15 rules of perfect dashboard 13:40 (5) Be consistent, having similar colours to charts. Don’t overuse tool(s) (6) Highlight the most relevant information: position matters; numbers are not equal. (10) Show the context, data should be compared to something else, eg. Previous year. (12) Design dashboards, not reports (common mistake). In dashboard, show top data, eg. only top 5 customers. Vice versa in the report. (14) leave the noise off: don’t suggest relationships that do not exist (putting numbers close)
I know that my dashboards would be one of the bad examples shown here after watching this lol! My problem is trying to answer every possible question on just one dashboard - a one size fits all approach - and while it's useful to me as an analyst because I can read it and it's very detailed, it would be way too busy to publish. Thanks for the tips and pointers here!
very good tutorial and Marco is one of the legends of Dax and Power BI

32:41 One of the most badly informed slides on design I've ever seen. Designers, consider carefully what this guy says.
