Me, Myself and UI: Applying UI style guides to Power BI reports
summary
Shows how to standardize Power BI reports by building a reusable template that includes a header/footer background embedded as a base64-encoded background in the theme JSON so every new page gets the image, a collapsible custom filter pane, and a button that triggers drill‑through instead of relying on right‑click. Demonstrates using Power BI Tips and Point theme generators to set palettes and custom icons for conditional formatting, and reports that generators work after Microsoft schema updates.
