I’ve been working with Power BI recently and wanted to share a few things that helped me avoid common mistakes:

1. Always build a proper data model first Don’t jump into visuals. Relationships matter more than charts.
2. Keep measures simple and reusable Avoid writing everything in one DAX formula.
3. Use a consistent layout Helps readability and makes dashboards look more professional.
4. Focus on business questions, not just visuals A good dashboard answers something specific.
5. Start simple Don’t try to build everything at once.

Still learning, but these basics made a big difference for me. Curious what others would add to this.
