How-To Guides

Power BI how-to guides

100 step-by-step guides covering 20 custom-visual types and 5 angles each — DIY tutorials, AI-first generation, marketplace comparisons, customisation, and direct .pbiviz downloads.

Each guide answers a specific question a Power BI user types into search or asks an AI assistant. Pick the visual you need, then the angle that matches what you’re trying to do — “in Power BI” for a DIY tutorial, “without code” for the AI-first path, “vs marketplace visuals” for a decision-support read.

Every guide includes a step-by-step walkthrough (HowTo schema for rich results), an FAQ tuned to the specific intent, and a path to generate the visual on VizForge in under five minutes if the DIY route isn’t the right call for your timeline.
