Power BI Grid system

Work Smarter: Pre-Built Grid System for Aligned Power BI Dashboards

Use my grid to fix your alignment in a heartbeat

Tired of nudging visuals pixel by pixel?
Even the most data-driven dashboards can lose their impact when the layout is off. Slight misalignments, inconsistent white space and awkward spacing don’t just look sloppy, they make it harder for users to focus on your insights. Sound familiar? You spend extra minutes (or hours) trying to get everything to feel right, but it never quite clicks.

The Solution: The GRID System

A set of 4 pre-built Power BI pages, plus one bonus page, each with a perfectly aligned layout grid. So you can focus on insights instead of pixel math. This system is made for professionals like you:

Developers who care about visual quality
Teams that want consistent, polished dashboards
Anyone who values efficiency and clean design

Why not just use the standard Power BI grid?

Because it isn’t built for design...
The default canvas size (1280 × 720) doesn’t divide evenly into rows and columns. That leads to things like:

Slight differences in column width
Misaligned rows
Margins that just feel off

We fixed that. After testing dozens of alternatives, we landed on four canvas sizes that stay close to the 16:9 ratio and allow perfect grid division. The result is clean, balanced dashboards and a faster design workflow.

What's inside?

Four canvas sizes,each set up for a clean 12-column / 6-row grid
Place your visuals on top of the grid, snapping to gutters
Built-in headers, footers, gutters and margins, all mathematically balanced
Alignment guides grouped together for easy hiding
No data included, so it’s safe to reuse and share across files. No guesswork. No fiddling. Just clean layouts that work.

How to work with the grid

Snap to perfection in the blink of an eye

After buying the grid, you will receive an email with a downloadlink where you can find the .pbix file.

Open the file and pick a canvas size
Place your visuals on top of the grid, snapping to gutters
Use Power BI’s red alignment guides to space everything evenly
When you're happy with your layout, hide the grid group with one click in the selection pane

Works great with white backgrounds in combination with charts with a light grey border or a light shadow,or a light canvas colour with visuals with a white background.
