The idea

Headline numbers at the top, the main trend in the middle, detail at the bottom:

Key points

Top: KPIsThe few numbers that matter most.
Middle: the trendThe main chart, answering the key question.
Titles that tell"Revenue grew 44% in March" beats "Revenue by month".

Ask what decision the dashboard supports, then show only what helps make it.

In Power BI Desktop

Turn on View, then Gridlines and Snap to grid, to line visuals up. Edit a title in Format visual, then General, then Title.

Practice

Try each one in your head first, then open the answer.

1. The question is: are we growing? Which visual should people see first?
A line of revenue by month
2. Which title is best for the revenue-by-month chart?
Revenue grew 44% in March
