Chapter 11: Enhancing Reports

You already learned about the basic elements for creating a report in Chapter 9, Creating Reports. Now it's time to take the knowledge to the next level. After you've added your visuals, you can further enhance your report to allow you to tell your data-driven story the way you want to.

Using Power BI Desktop, you'll learn how to transform your report to provide your report consumers with reports that are better organized, with a more effective layout and interactions. You'll be able to provide your users with tools that allow them to explore the data more effectively or allow you, as the report writer, to tell your data story in the order you want it told.
