Hi, here we are going to see how to design a power bi report template using Power bi desktop, we have total 2 types of templates as following. We can use anyone of the following based on our user accessibility.

 

  • Non-Floating Panel
  • Floating panel

Note: Before introducing the templates, if you have any queries or need detailed explanation on building the following templates. 

          Please contact or reach to Me(B Poornachandra Rao) or  Adriano Di Toppa(my manager). So, that we will be able to help 

          you out and make your work more easy and precise.

 


Lets get started, 


Background color for all pages will be #CCCCCC with 60% Transparency 

 

     

 Non-Floating Panel: We can prefer this template when we don’t want to hide the filters. Where the filters will be                                    

                                    displayed on screen/report along with other visuals. We can use this when we have a smaller  

                                    number of visuals



 Floating Panel: We can prefer this template when we want to hide/unhide the filters, where we have too many filters or  

                            Visuals on screen/report and disturbing the readability of the data in the visuals. We can use this when  

                            we have a greater number of visuals.
