Power BI, developed by Microsoft, is one of the most popular and powerful platforms for data analysis and creating interactive visualizations. In this article, we’ll explore what Power BI is, the different types of reports you can create, a step-by-step guide to building a report, and how to integrate Kondado data directly into Power BI.

What is Power BI?

Types of Reports in Power BI

Reports are panels that consolidate visualizations created from reports. They provide an overview of key performance indicators (KPIs) and critical metrics for an organization. Here are some main types of reports you can create in Power BI:

• Operational Reports: Focused on monitoring daily operations, presenting real-time data for quick decisions.
• Strategic Reports: Used for long-term analysis, focusing on strategic goals and overall company performance.
• Analytical Reports: Provide detailed views of historical data and forecasts, used for in-depth analysis and trend-based decision-making.
• Tactical Reports: Designed for managers to monitor team or department performance.
