A Power BI dashboard is a single page, often called a canvas, that tells a story through visualizations. Because it’s limited to one page, a well-designed dashboard contains only the highlights of that story. Readers can view related reports for the details.

Dashboard basics

The visualizations you see on the dashboard are called tiles. You pin tiles to a dashboard from reports.

Advantages of dashboards

Dashboards are a wonderful way to monitor your business and see all of your most important metrics at a glance. The visualizations on a dashboard can come from one underlying dataset or many, and from one underlying report or many.

A dashboard isn’t just a pretty picture. It’s highly interactive and the tiles update as the underlying data changes.

Import Data from available different sources

Preview of selected data

Dashboard canvas

Bubble Map-Visual: If the data set contain a country or region field then we can use the map as data visualization. Drag country field to location box so It will add globe map and showes bubble with different size based on which field we have selected. For that, we have to select that particular field or drag and drop it to the size box in the visualization panel. Here score parameter is considered.

Card-Visual: It will use to display the numeric value.

Stacked Column chart visual: In the stacked column chart, Axis is represented on X-axis and the data is represented on Y-axis.
