In this chapter, we walked through the fundamental components of Power BI report design, including visualization best practices, Live connections to Power BI datasets, and the filter scopes available in Power BI Desktop. We reviewed top report development techniques and examples, such as conditional formatting, tooltips, and user parameters. Furthermore, we looked at powerful self-service and mobile report features, including slicers, visual interactions, and mobile-optimized reports.
The following chapter is also dedicated to the report development but goes well beyond the fundamental design concepts and features introduced in this chapter. That chapter will leverage the latest, most powerful report authoring features of Power BI, including drillthrough report pages, bookmarks, the analytics pane, and custom visuals.
