Design Power BI Reports | PL-300 Lab 09 | Slicers, Visuals & Publish to Service | 2026

Welcome to Lab 09 of the PL-300 Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Certification series! In this hands-on lab, you'll design a professional three-page Power BI report from scratch — adding slicers, charts, and matrix visuals — then sync slicers across pages and publish the finished report to the Power BI service for interactive exploration. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ Design a multi-page report (Overview, Profit, My Performance) ✅ Add and configure images, slicers, and chart visuals ✅ Build a Line and Stacked Column Chart with Sales & Profit Margin ✅ Configure "Show items with no data" on the X-axis ✅ Add a Stacked Column and Stacked Bar chart with legends ✅ Build a Matrix visual with the Fiscal hierarchy and Sales measures ✅ Use the Filters pane as an alternative to slicers (Category, Subcategory, Product, Color) ✅ Add a Multi-row Card visual with callout value formatting ✅ Simulate row-level security using page-level filters ✅ Sync slicers across multiple report pages (Year & Region) ✅ Publish the report to the Power BI service ✅ Explore cross-filtering, focus mode, tooltips & full screen in Power BI service ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ REPORT PAGES & VISUALS BUILT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔹 Page 1 — Overview • Year Dropdown Slicer & Region List Slicer • Line & Stacked Column Chart (Month, Sales, Profit Margin) • Stacked Column Chart (Group, Sales by Category) • Stacked Bar Chart (Category, Quantity) 🔹 Page 2 — Profit • Region Slicer with Select All • Matrix Visual (Fiscal Hierarchy × Orders, Sales, Cost, Profit, Profit Margin) • Page-level filters (Category, Subcategory, Product, Color) 🔹 Page 3 — My Performance • Year Dropdown Slicer • Multi-row Card (Sales, Target, Variance, Variance Margin) • Clustered Bar Chart & Clustered Column Chart (Month × Sales & Target) Timestamps: 00:00 - Overview 06:04 - Hands-On Lab ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 IMPORTANT LINKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Playlist :    • PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst Certification...   📖 Microsoft Learn : https://microsoftlearning.github.io/P... 💻 GitHub Link: https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 EXAM TIPS FOR PL-300 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 Know the difference between page-level filters in the Filters pane vs. slicers — both filter data but slicers take up report canvas space. 💡 Synced slicers are commonly tested — understand how to configure which pages share a slicer selection. 💡 Cross-filtering vs. cross-highlighting behave differently — be clear on the distinction for exam scenarios. 💡 Publishing a report to the Power BI service also publishes the semantic model as a separate item in the workspace. 💡 Focus mode and full screen mode serve different purposes — focus mode zooms a single visual, full screen expands the entire report page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 DON'T FORGET ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👍 Like this video if it helped you 🔔 Subscribe & hit the bell so you don't miss the next lab 💬 Got questions?
