Welcome:

Power BI is a leading business intelligence platform that combines an intuitive user experience with industry-leading advanced analytics. Organizations can bring together data to analyze in seconds and uncover deep insights with built-in AI capabilities—all with the industry-leading security and performance of the Power Platform and Azure.

Enhance a data model:

Sam recently received a request from Cillian, a Sales Director at Contoso, to include an industry view in the Sales Pipeline report. Sam selects the model view on the left tab in Power BI Desktop to see the current data in the report.

Build a new report page:

Sam returns to the Sales Pipeline report after configuring the new industry data. To design a new Industries page, Sam opens a blank report page and names its Industries.

Uncover insights from intelligent visuals:

Because Contoso uses Dynamics 365 Sales, this Sales Pipeline report pulls much of the data directly from Dynamics 365 Sales and can update it in near-real time using the Dataverse connector. Cillian can then analyze this data to inform staffing, inventory, sales forecasting, and more.

To start, Cillian opens the Trend Analytics page in the report.

Integrate with your apps:

Through Teams, Cillian can easily collaborate with others, whether one-on-one or with a larger group, to discuss and share the findings.

In the Share to Microsoft Teams window, Cillian shares the insights with a colleague by adding their name, then selecting Share.

Summary:

With Power BI, organizations can enable everyone to make their best decisions yet with easy access to data-driven insights and analytics—all while maintaining tight security and control.
