How to Publish a PowerBI Dashboard?

Modified on Wed, 21 May at 1:33 PM

Hosting your Power BI dashboards on GitHub not only showcases your work but also demonstrates professionalism, documentation skills, and version control awareness, essential for roles you want to target.


Create a Git Public Repository with appropriate title and description as per your project. Add below files and or folders to your repository and publish it.

  1. ReadME file
    Acts as the landing page—describe the problem, insights, tools used, and how to open/use the .pbix.
  2. Dashboard File
    The Power BI dashboard project file.
  3. Data Folder
    If data is public or synthetic, include it under a data/ folder. If not, describe the dataset origin in the README.
  4. Preview images Folder
    A snapshot of the dashboard increases engagement and is great for GitHub/social previews.
  5. Insights Doc
    A short document summarizing key findings, e.g., “Sales dipped 20% in Q3 due to X."
  6. PDF Report
    (Optional but great!) Add a PDF version of the dashboard for quick viewing.
  7. Scripts Folder
    (Optional but great!) Shows how you cleaned/processed data.
  8. GitHub Topics/Tags
    (Optional but great!) Use tags like PowerBI, data-visualization, dashboard for discoverability.
  9. Video Walkthrough
    (Optional but great!) Record a Loom or YouTube video explaining the dashboard. The link can be found in README.
