Happy New Year! Our first session of 2025 kicks off with a Power BI session from Anthony Catella.

Session

In general formatting of visuals in a Power BI report are fixed for the end user. How can we give end users more flexibility to format the visuals for their requirements?

In this presentation, we look at making use of dynamic format strings and conditional formatting in Power BI, to allow dynamic formatting of visuals. We begin with an overview of the basic concepts of dynamic format strings, which allow for the customisation of displayed data based on context and user interactions. Attendees will learn how to apply these strings to enhance the readability of data visuals. Moving onto the intricacies of conditional formatting and demonstrating how to use rules and expressions to highlight data points within visuals. We also demo combining dynamic format strings with conditional formatting to give end users significant flexibility in what to display in visuals.

By the end of this presentation, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how to leverage these features to transform their Power BI reports into dynamic, insightful, and visually appealing tools for data analysis.
