DESCRIPTION 📄

GitHub Copilot can turn Power BI customization from a tedious, manual grind into a fast, interactive workflow. In this session, you’ll see how to generate polished report themes by extracting color palettes from images, create named style presets that show up directly in Power BI’s formatting pane, and build custom visuals from scratch with Copilot as your pair programmer. From JSON theme schemas to visual implementation details, you’ll leave with practical techniques to speed up development, improve consistency, and ship better-looking reports with less trial-and-error.

GUEST BIO (Zoe Douglas)👤

I'm a product manager for Power BI working on core visuals with focus on the default and theming experience with visuals in reports. I'm also good with a semantic model and worked on features such as DAX query view, Copilot to write DAX queries, Copilot to write measure descriptions, Optimize ribbon, and more! Before coming to Power BI product group I was a Power BI consultant using Power BI everyday to bring insights to action!
