This layout continues to deliver fantastic visual guides to make your reports look top notch. This layout utilizes buttons for navigation without locking in the position in the layout background. We also really like how this layout uses the theme templates to change the background header color to anything you would want. The semi-circle that indicates which page you are on is a free form image and can be changed around if you want to re-arrange the pages. Our branded layout gives you 5 pages of fun, while our unbranded version throws in 10 pages and includes all 10 background .png image files to make your report building even easier.

In the September 2018 blog post the Microsoft team released a new layout. This layout has a number of really nice design elements. However, upon reviewing the file used for this demo found here. Upon downloading we noticed that the new style of the layout was only one page deep. As an enhancement to this file we added all the pages, renamed all the elements and created a full PowerBI.Tips layout from this page. We’d love to share our work with you and hope you enjoy this new layout from PowerBI.tips.

First off, let me say WOW! The announcement of Layouts was well received by the Power BI Community. Thank you so much for the positive feedback. So much so, that I got excited and developed another Layout, Splash o Red.
This new layout is called contains two pages. It uses the drill through feature to navigate from the main page to the sub page. The demo below shows you how it works. I hope you enjoy this new layout, you can download it here.

PowerBI.tips is extremely happy to be part of, and contribute to, the Power BI Community. We’re constantly trying to think of new and interesting ways we can enhance the Power BI experience for everyone by providing helpful tips & tools. Some examples of what we’ve done so far are Power BI Desktop Theme generator, and the Power BI toolbox:
Today we’re happy to announce another tool that we hope you will get an immense amount of use from.
Introducing:
Layouts are Power BI Template (PBIT) files that will contain layouts with visualizations already in place and only require your data to light up. We have, and will be, using as many of the visualization techniques. We are taking some of the best layouts we’ve seen, and those we’ve developed to create these files for you. This means that you don’t have to spend any time worrying about the vast number of design techniques. Additionally, it will save you time placing or moving things around on the report page. All that is required of you, is to download the PBIT file, load your data, and start selecting the pre-placed visualizations. With each layout template there will be a sample file (demo) that will show you the look and feel of each layout so you can easily choose the layout you want on each report page. You can always change the visual type with the click of a button.
Today, we’re releasing the first of our efforts with a 3 tab layout focused on the business analyst. These layouts are designed with maximum flexibility in mind, to let you alter color themes, easily change the visualization type, and provide enough visualizations to give you a huge initial benefit. One of the best parts about the Layout is that you are not limited by our designs, they are just the starting point, you can fully customize them however you would like. We just provide you with a solid foundation to build from.

Demo of Layouts:
In addition to the first analyst layout, we’re releasing an Info-graphic style layout that contains some deeper interactions using Bookmarks. However, these Layouts will be a bit more restrictive in terms of how much you can change visually. This is due to the need to rely more heavily on other tools to create the look & feel. Thus, you will have limits in just how much you can change. Our hope with these is to build more stunning report layouts that will maximize presentation, or help wow an audience.

We are releasing layouts for the analyst, executives and still have some fun with highly stylized files. We hope you get as much use out of these new Layouts as we know we will! Over time, we will continue to develop and produce an entire library of the selections. Thanks to all of you who make this such a fun and great Community to be a part of.
