PBIP templates with sample data
Beta. Each download is a Power BI project (PBIP) whose semantic model is written as TMDL, with the sample rows inside each table's Power Query step: no data source, no gateway, no sign-in.
A blank layout tells you where the visuals go; a template with data shows you how the measures behave. Every model here is a small star schema built for its department: a calendar table marked as the date table, one to four dimension tables, one to four fact tables of 3–480 rows, and a Key Measures table whose DAX you can read on the template's page before you download.
The project opens without its data cache, so Power BI Desktop shows the model definition first: select Refresh once and the rows load from Power Query. Save it as a .pbix with File → Save as, or replace each table's Source step with your own data and keep the column names.

How to use a Power BI template
Four steps from template to a finished Power BI page. No custom visuals or add-ins required.
- 1
Pick a template
Choose a layout for your department. Each page lists the sample tables, the DAX measures and which fields each visual is bound to.
- 2
Download or customise
Download the background PNG and theme JSON as they are, or open the template in the design studio to change colours, fonts, logo and layout first.
- 3
Apply in Power BI Desktop
Set the PNG as the page's canvas background (Image fit: Fill) and import the theme via the Design ribbon → Import theme (View → Theme pane in the service).
- 4
Drop in your visuals
Place visuals over the empty panels with transparent backgrounds, or open the PBIP with sample data, where every built-in visual is already placed and bound.
What makes these dashboard designs work
Every layout follows the same rules: the answer to the page's main question sits top-left, KPIs come before charts, and detail tables come last. Panels sit on an 8-pixel grid with 16-pixel gutters, which matches Power BI's own snapping, so visuals line up without nudging.
The decoration (panels, header bands, navigation rails, icons) lives in the page background image, not in shapes on the canvas. That keeps the report fast, because Power BI draws one image instead of dozens of shapes, and it keeps the visuals easy to select.
Colours come from a theme that has been checked for contrast: text meets WCAG AA and data colours clear 3:1 against the cards. If you change the brand in the studio, the same checks run again before export.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Power BI dashboard templates free?
Yes. Every template downloads free, without signing up, as a PBIP project with sample data, a background PNG or SVG and a Power BI theme JSON, and opens in the VizForge design studio. Anonymous exports carry a small “Made with VizForge” mark; signing in removes it.
What do I get when I download a template?
The main download is a PBIP project (beta): the report page with its background, theme and visuals in place, plus a small sample semantic model (tables, a date table, relationships and DAX measures) that every built-in visual is bound to (custom-visual placeholder slots stay empty for a visual you generate). You can also take the page background at 1920×1080 (the Fluent 2 default for new pages), 1280×720 or 2×, the matching theme JSON on its own, or an empty PBIP with unbound visual containers.
How do I use the background image in Power BI Desktop?
Select the page, open Format page → Canvas background, choose Browse and pick the PNG, then set Image fit to Fill and transparency to 0%. Give your visuals a transparent background and no border so the designed panels show through.
Can I open the PBIP project in Power BI Desktop?
Yes. PBIR is the default report format in Power BI Desktop since September 2026, and the download is a PBIP project: unzip it and open the .pbip file, select Refresh once and the sample data loads into visuals that are already bound (the empty PBIP leaves the containers unbound for your own data). Microsoft still lists projects and TMDL as preview features (as of Nov 2026), so if Desktop won't open it, enable them under File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features.
Can I change the colours and fonts?
Open any template in the design studio and switch the brand kit or pick another theme. Panels, text and the theme JSON update together, so the background and your visuals stay consistent.
Looking for the custom visuals a dashboard needs rather than its layout? The dashboard use cases list them job by job, and the team pages group them by the team that owns the report.
Need a chart Power BI doesn’t ship?
Describe it in plain English and VizForge generates a custom visual as a .pbiviz file, with its TypeScript source. In the design studio, hand any visual slot to the AI and the brief carries the slot size and your brand colours. Sankey, Gantt, bullet, waterfall and more: see the visual catalog.
