🚀 Power Up Your Insights: Latest Tips & Training from Team Academy’s Power BI Workshop!

In this edition, discover how our team is mastering Power BI: from designing polished dashboards to implementing powerful slicers — plus, what’s coming next in our training journey!

📊 Data Aggregation Techniques: Smarter Summaries for Deeper Insights

We explored when to aggregate data and when to keep raw values visible, diving into tools like the Sigma symbol to sum, average, or group data. Custom bins and lists were highlighted as practical techniques for financial analysis. Next stop: quick measures and new measures for even faster insights!

🎨 Consistent Branding: Bringing Reports to Life

Aligning reports with brand identity is key! The team focused on customizing color themes using JSON files and brand hex codes to ensure dashboards look professional and consistent — whether reporting for Qatar, Saudi Arabia, or beyond. Saving and reusing these themes will keep future projects on-brand effortlessly.

🖌️ Visualization Customization: Designing with Impact

From headers to images, we refined our approach to making visuals both beautiful and clear. We focused on the essentials: X-axis, Y-axis, and legends — while learning how to maximize space and keep designs user-friendly.

📐 Dashboard Best Practices: Clean, Clear & Compelling

We fine-tuned dashboards by adjusting fonts, rectangles, and centering visuals. The group practiced adding cards, bar graphs, and using the visualization pane for a polished, cohesive look. A great reminder: small tweaks can make a big difference!

🔍 Mastering Slicers: Make Data Exploration Effortless

Slicers are powerful! We discovered how to position them effectively (tip: keep them on the left for English reports) and replace IDs with meaningful names for clarity. Using checkboxes, tiles, and dropdowns, we learned how to save space and keep visuals sleek. Copy-paste techniques made customization faster, while shadows and borders added the finishing touch.

🛠️ Slicer Customization in Action

We built slicers for categories, employees, countries, cities, product names, and shippers — then practiced formatting, resizing, and changing layouts. Switching date slicers to bar formats showed how small changes improve usability. Everyone’s encouraged to practice over the weekend to lock in these new skills!
