Formatting Dashboards

Titles should explain what the viewer is looking at. Good titles:

• Describe the insight, not just the metric
• Are short and clear
• Match across similar visuals

Bad titles usually look like raw field names or technical terms.

Clean alignment makes dashboards feel organized. In Power BI:

• Align visuals to each other.
• Keep spacing consistent.
• Avoid overlapping or crowded visuals.

White space can help separate ideas and improves readability.

Let's apply professional formatting to the Dashboard page we created.

1. Update chart titles:
   1. Stacked area chart: Revenue Trend by Product Category. Increase the font size to 16. Set Horizontal Alignment to Center.
   2. Session duration column chart: Session Durations by Store. Increase the font size to 16. Set Horizontal Alignment to Center.
   3. Sales by brand column chart: Sales by Brand. Increase the font size to 16. Set Horizontal Alignment to Center.
   4. Donut chart: Population Drilldown. Increase the font size to 16. Set Horizontal Alignment to Center.
2. Update data labels. To update these, in the "Add data to your visual" tab of the "Visualizations" pane, double-click on the name of the data column to change it (it's the place where you dragged it to add it to the chart in the first place).
   1. Total revenue card: change the total_revenue label to "Total Revenue"
   2. Total units sold card: similarly, change to "Total Units Sold"
   3. Stacked area chart Y-axis: "Revenue"
   4. Stacked area chart legend: "Product Category"
   5. Session duration column chart X-axis: "Nearest Store"
   6. Session duration column chart Y-axis: "Total Session Durations"
   7. Sales by brand column chart X-axis: "Product Brand"
   8. Sales by brand column chart Y-axis: "Quantity of Sales"
   9. Population Drilldown: leave geography_country, geography_state etc. as-is.
