We want to customize our Power BI Embedded Reports to create our own style/visuals.
Here is an example from how it currently looks from inside Power BI:
Here we can only change data color for the graph line. We however, want to add a gradient to this specific line, like this:
We have found that the options to customize styles other than from the Power BI dashboard is limited. Is there any way we could modify the json or any other way achieve customization?
You can try using custom visuals:

I want to show some real-time IoT data in a Guage in power BI dashboard. But I want to customize this Guage by changing colors so on. But I don't see an option to customize any element on power BI web. Could you pls tell me how can I do this?
Being a beginner in PowerBI, I am trying to import dataset on online portal of PowerBI(aap.powerbi.com). When I upload the data, I am not able to see the option to transform or manipulate data. What is the way I can access this without using power BI desktop
The PowerQuery or the Trasnform Data option is only available in PowerBI cloud. Even if you want to create measures or new columns you'll have to do it on the desktop, there's no way around this unfortunately currently. If it is possible in the future, let me know here!
Its better to use power bi desktop to data manipulation and preparation part.
I want to know if I can use Power BI to create reports in Excel? I want a well formatted report we present before clients.
Clients provide us data in SQL. I use statistical analysis tools. The analysed numbers are in SQL again. I have Power BI on my laptop. I want to know if I can build any process where I can create excel reports from the SQL server numbers?
I do use PBI for creating charts and graphs which I later manually paste in excel reports. But have no idea if complete report making is possible.
Can anyone elaborate??
Thanks!!
Power BI is (mostly) the combination of two Excel plugins, Power Query (Get data from Excel 2016 onwards) and Power Pivot. The visual/report layer is an advanced version of Power View in Excel.
You have two options. First you can use Excel to have the Power BI experience in getting and connecting the data together. For this method you will use the Power Query (M) and Power Pivot (DAX) parts, these are the same as getting data and using the relationship designer in Power BI. If you are currently copying and pasting visuals from Power BI into Excel, then this method would be the best way. You may want to create your visuals in Excel, and format them to a Power BI look and feel.
The second option is to create the dataset in Power BI, getting and transforming the data, then publishing it to the service. You can then use 'Analyze in Excel' to connect Excel to the dataset and surface the data in Excel.
I would recommend not copy and pasting visuals from Power BI to Excel as you lose the benefits of Power BI's interactivity, just use the normal charts, slicers and other tools in Excel. By using the first option, you are keeping the workflow in one application without any convoluted steps back and forth, and anything you learn and use in Power Query and Power Pivot you can use in Power BI.
I am just starting out with Power BI. So far it has been easy to learn. My goal is to create a dashboard like this:

I am just wondering if someone knows an interactive power bi sample like this. Is it even possible to create such reports in power BI?
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible to create dashboards like this. See for example Power BI Embedded Playground or Microsoft Sales & Returns report (download or view in browser):
I am new to Power BI, and I need to set a fixed graphical chart to the enterprise.
The chart will be used for all dashboards generated from PowerBI (this chart contains the enterprise Logo, color chart,...).
Actually for the moment I am repeating the settings for every dashboard I create, but I need it to be automatically set as template for example.
Is that possible with Power BI please?
Thank you for your answers :)
There's the ability to add a custom theme from a JSON file. I believe this is still a preview feature you need to enable in the options.
This only does colour palette though. I don't think there's an ability to save the format of a visual as a template. You could suggest it over on the Power BI Ideas forum.
