Power BI Reports

A power BI report provides a clear insight from a dataset to you. Unlike excel, here data is presented in rows and columns instantly. But do you have any idea on which section of Power BI a report is created? Well, let’s discuss in detail the same.

Power BI reports explain your dataset in a better way. The report is presented in pages of different visualizations of your business. These visuals can further be put on the dashboard.

  • Click on the ‘create report’ icon over there.

This is the major section that will be used for creating a report. As you will go further with the steps you will enter into the report builder section. There you will find further three options, which are namely- Visualizations Pane, Fields Pane, and Canvas.
