In addition to basic visuals, Power BI supports
creating custom visuals. Custom visuals can be
added using a file import or from a free Marketplace
offering certified and non-certified visuals.
Certification is optional, but it verifies whether,
among other things, a visual accesses external
services and resources<> SKILL
Themes
Serves as a single location for configuring all native
graphical settings for visuals and pages
(ino it ER i
By default, you can choose from 19 predefined
themes. Custom themes can be added
A custom theme can be applied in two different ways
Modification of an existing theme - A native
window that lets you modify a theme directly in
the Power BI environment
Importing a JSON file - Any file you create only
defines the formatting that should change
Everything else remains the same. The advantage
of this approach is that you can customize any
single visual

Format And Used In Any Report Without The Need To
Create A Theme From Scratch”<> SKILL

hierarchies enables drilling down to the
embedded hierarchy’s individual levels using the
