FAQs

What prior Power BI knowledge do I need for this course?

You should already be comfortable importing data with Power Query, building common visuals, and writing basic DAX measures. This course focuses on design and presentation, not foundational Power BI skills.

What will I be able to build by the end of this course?

You will be able to create polished, multi-page reports with DAX-driven highlights, progressive disclosure navigation, custom themes, and a separate mobile layout optimized for portrait view.

What datasets are used in the exercises?

You will work with real budget, expense, and food inspection data from Wake County, North Carolina, covering fiscal years 2012 through 2019.

How does designing for mobile differ from designing for desktop in Power BI?

Mobile layouts use a portrait-oriented view and require you to reorganize and resize visuals separately from the desktop version. This course covers how to create and optimize that layout, including using the chiclet slicer for touch-friendly filtering.

Can I create my own themes, or am I limited to the ones built into Power BI?

You can build fully custom themes by adjusting default fonts and colors, then export and reuse them across reports. The course also introduces Color Brewer as a tool for choosing effective color schemes.
