7 Design Mistakes in Power BI Dashboards

Let's start with a look at the top seven Power BI dashboard design errors and some tips for avoiding them. These are the mistakes that keep your dashboards from becoming effective and understandable.

1.The charts were incorrectly chosen.

The most typical error is choosing the incorrect charts. Choosing the appropriate chart is a science and an art. The first is wrong chart orientation, which is the most common missing component. The second reason is that the wrong chart type was deployed, and the third is that multiple complicated charts intended to represent variances and other major data categories were either not used or used incorrectly.

2.Dashboards with incorrect labels

It's challenging to have the right number of labels in your dashboards since you risk overdoing it or failing to convey the information appropriately.

3.There are too many slicers on the Dashboard.

Excessive usage of slicers is the third mistake. It's really tempting to employ slicers excessively.

4.Colors aren't always used in the same way.

Now we'll look at the fourth mistake: a lack of colour uniformity. Although colour is a tough topic, having 30 different colours in a report, or even just one chart, is excessive. With so many colours, it will be difficult to read.

5.The variances aren't shown.

While we're on the topic of differences, I believe the fifth error is the most serious. Users failing to indicate deviations are the most common dashboard issue we see. Ignoring differences is certainly not an easy task.

6.Page layouts that are confusing

Perplexing page design is ranked sixth on the list.
When developing dashboards with page layouts, people read from left to right and from top to bottom of the page.

7.Your graphs aren't proportional.

You'll need to scale distinct visuals when you add them to a page or a dashboard. In Power BI, they will always be scaled to the highest amount.
