For example, if reporting on procurement (or any business function) requires manually pulling information from multiple spreadsheets and a SaaS procurement system, instead of integrating spreadsheets and the procurement system API, Power BI can use data modelling to unify all the data sets, then share this information, or build reports which can then be shared.

We worked with a children’s charity to create a process which replaced manual monthly reporting. We integrated a Power BI report with a Dataverse (data) layer of the Power App we built to automatically pull in the required data on a schedule. Reporting became as simple as navigating to the Power BI report with no manual prep needed and saved the nursing staff valuable time.
