Visualizing data on a report

Power BI reports are not the conventional type of report that most businesses are used to. Conventional, pixel-perfect, print-ready reports are called paginated reports and are indeed part of the Power BI offerings.

Let’s get back to the default analytical reports in Power BI. Due to its functionality that allows for different types of visuals to be put together and paint an analytical picture, the word dashboard is quite commonly used by business users to refer to Power BI reports. Dashboards in Power BI are, however, a somewhat similar yet different artifact.

I will not disagree with users who want to call Power BI reports dashboards every time.

Keeping this in mind, we shall use the correct technical terminology in this book unless explicitly noted.
