Change the colours available by default within a report.

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file.

By default when creating a report the only colours presented are these:

Not the most inspiring of colours, not to mention the fact that they're probably not your company's corporate colours either.

The aim of this exercise is to replace these with some fancier colours. For example all colours beginning with the letter C:

The JSON file can be created anywhere, but JSON Editor Online is an easy website to use.

Sadly Power BI can only read the HEX system, and not the word chocolate. To change your colours to hexadecimal click on the coloured box:

Clicking Ok will switch the colour into its HEX counterpart. In this case the green liquor becomes #7fff00ff. Since Power BI can only read 6 places of HEX this is then stored as #7fff00.

Save the JSON file, then from the Home tab choose Switch theme followed by Import theme:

The colour choice actually worked better than you might have expected! We needed another 2 colours to complete the pallet, so Power BI has added two extras.

Optionally save this as Collecting C Colours and then close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
