This brings us to the next best practice while creating narrative-driven reports in Power BI Fabric:
Layout & Design: Start on a clean and intuitive layout. Flow should be logical and present from left to right or top to bottom. The group associated visuals and data so the users' attention is drawn to it, and the trail of the story can be easily followed.
Data Storytelling: Context: Start with context. KPIs and summary visuals should set the stage at the top and allow you to zoom in on detailed insights later. Have visuals highlight key trends, comparisons, and lessons learned.
Interactivity: Provide users with the capability to explore data through slicers, filters, and drill-throughs. The interactivity should be intuitive, leading to prompts in exploration.
Readability: Avoid jargon. Use plain titles, tooltips, and annotations. Ensure that details are presented in readable color contrast, font size, and labels. The report must include narrative text boxes, an explanation of key insights, and a guide for a non-tech-savvy audience.
This ensures that your report does not present only the raw data but also a story that is engaging and uncomplicated for all stakeholders to understand.
