Summary

In this chapter, we walked through the fundamental components of Power BI report planning and design, including visualization best practices, Live connections to Power BI datasets, and the filter scopes available in Power BI Desktop. We also reviewed the overall report planning process and introduced the report architecture diagram as a tool to aid in that planning.

The following chapter is also dedicated to report development, but goes well beyond the fundamental design concepts and features introduced in this chapter. The next chapter explores the basics of report authoring, including an exploration of the different visuals and formatting features available during report development.
