How can visuals be arranged on a Power BI report?

Visuals in a Power BI report can be arranged effectively by dragging, resizing, and aligning them using the formatting pane. This method allows users to customize the layout according to their specific needs, ensuring each visual is positioned for optimal clarity and impact. The ability to drag visuals anywhere within the report canvas enables flexible design, while resizing ensures that the visuals fit the available space and maintain a cohesive aesthetic.

Additionally, the formatting pane offers various alignment and distribution options, which help maintain uniform spacing between visuals and can assist in creating a clean, organized layout. This level of control is crucial for creating engaging and easy-to-read reports that effectively communicate insights.

The other options present limitations or inaccuracies in how visuals can be arranged. For instance, a fixed grid only restricts the arrangement possibilities, while dropping files into the report area doesn't directly pertain to arranging existing visuals. Automatic arrangements may alleviate user effort but often lack the precise customization that manual adjustments provide, which is essential in crafting professional reports.
