Power BI: create, publish and update a dashboard for beginners - Part 4: create the dashboard

This tutorial is divided in 4 parts and this article is the part 4:

As explained in my tutorial part 1, a dashboard has to be created from reports so if I don’t have created any reports or if my colleagues don’t share any reports with me, I won’t be able to create one.

As you may understand, a dashboard is a compilation of data from 1 or multiple reports so what I am going to do it is to copy data from those reports and to paste them in my dashboard by pinning them.

From the workspace, I will select my report:

power bi power bi

I will pin the “unix” visual:

power bi

A popup will appear and since it is the first one, I will select “new dashboard” and put a name:

power bi

If all go well, I will get this message:

power bi

To see it, just click on “go to dashboard” or go back to the workspace then select the dashboard:

power bi

I will also pin the “trend chart” but this time, I will select “existing dashboard”:

power bi

This is the result:

The visuals can be moved or make them bigger or smaller. To share it, it will be the same process as for the “report” described in the part 3: share with the audience.

This is the end of my tutorial, you learn how to create your dashboard, to publish your report and to share with your audience and to update your data. Of course, what I show you, it is the basic, you can do a lot more by playing with the tool and if you have some doubts, just check my different articles in Archives.
