How to import theme from a Power BI Report

Importing a theme from a Power BI report involves extracting the theme JSON file from an existing report and applying it to another report. Here are the steps to import a theme from a Power BI report:

1. Extract Theme JSON File:

   • Open the Power BI report that contains the theme you want to import.
   • In Power BI Desktop, go to the "View" tab on the ribbon.
   • Click on "Themes" from the "View" tab dropdown menu.
   • From the "Themes" pane that appears on the right side, select the theme you want to export.
   • Click on the ellipsis (...) button next to the theme name and select "Export theme."
   • Choose a location on your computer to save the theme JSON file, and click "Save."

2. Apply Theme to Another Report:

   • Open the Power BI report where you want to import the theme.
   • In Power BI Desktop, go to the "View" tab on the ribbon.
   • Click on "Themes" from the "View" tab dropdown menu.
   • From the "Themes" pane, click on "Import theme."
   • Browse to the location where you saved the theme JSON file from the previous step, select the file, and click "Open."
   • The imported theme will now appear in the "Themes" pane. Click on the imported theme to apply it to the current report.

3. Customize Theme (Optional):

   • After importing the theme, you can further customize it by modifying the theme JSON file directly or using the built-in theme editor in Power BI Desktop.
   • To modify the theme JSON file, open it in a text editor and make changes to the JSON properties. Save the changes and re-import the modified theme into Power BI.
   • To use the theme editor in Power BI Desktop, click on the ellipsis (...) button next to the imported theme in the "Themes" pane and select "Edit theme." Make the desired changes using the theme editor, and then click "Apply."

By following these steps, you can import a theme from one Power BI report to another, allowing you to maintain consistent visual styles and branding across multiple reports.
