Conclusion

The Power BI service provides the capability to create and share additional BI objects, such as dashboards, apps, streaming datasets, and dataflows; these components can be enriched and enhanced with alerts, subscriptions, images, and web content. In this chapter, Power BI dashboards were constructed to provide simple, at-a-glance monitoring of critical measures and high-impact business activities. The unique features of dashboards, such as Q&A natural language queries, data alerts, and the integration of other report types—such as Excel and SSRS—was also included. Finally, the creation and use of streaming datasets and dataflows was also covered.
