Are you a SharePoint user? Do you use Power BI? Ever thought of leveraging Power BI to SharePoint? Well, if you fall into any or all the above categories, you have come to the right place.
In this blog I will briefly discuss about Power BI (you can skip this part if you are already familiar with the platform), why integrate Power BI with SharePoint, and benefits of the integration.
Power BI is a data visualization tool that provides cloud-based business intelligence (BI) services. You can integrate your data and build reports and dashboards with custom visualization. Its UI is remarkably simple and user friendly and it is especially helpful if you are an excel user. It is available free from your Microsoft account; you also have a pro version available for extended data presentation. A few clicks to build reports and sharing them has never been easier. Share with Office 365 groups, individuals or even guest members.
SharePoint—or for that matter the entire Microsoft 365 suite of productivity tools—is a collaborative platform; they way you use it defines its usefulness. SharePoint is a critical part of most company’s data communication and distribution strategy. As such, using Power BI with SharePoint reporting data allows for a quick and efficient comprehension of data analysis. As organizations build modern intranet on SharePoint in Microsoft 365, it is convenient to create reports on its usage, and to store the later Power BI reports there.
Integrating Power BI is simple, you can get it done by your developer team or use the expertise of someone like us for customized one-click experiences.
