As mentioned, the Power BI dashboard is a tool for visualization. The quality of each Power BI dashboard is entirely dependent on the data that Power BI is fed with. Access to relevant, accurate and up-to-date data from reliable data sources is the foundation of the BI mindset. In order to display the right data in Power BI, you must first build a data model.
If you’ve already worked systematically with reporting and have the data models in place, it’s relatively easy to get started.
If your organization has multiple data sources – the amount of data naturally increases. It can be difficult to understand the meaning of data if it stands alone. At the same time, it can be difficult to compare data when it comes from different data sources. That’s why we structure and process data and compile it into data models that take into account the relationships between the many different data sources – so they can be compared.
The data models can either be built directly in Power BI or you can choose to use a tool that contains pre-built data models that we can build on, such as Jet Analytics.
In Power BI, we build the data models from scratch. However, if we choose to use one of the pre-built Business Central specific data models in Jet Analytics, we have a solid foundation to build on. This means that we can use an already prepared model and then maybe just make minor corrections to it.
Data – all the numbers and information contained in the company’s systems.
Visualization – the presentation of data with e.g. Power BI.
However, if you haven’t already worked with reporting, we need to get the data models in place before you can benefit from Power BI. This means that, initially, you need to select relevant data sources from which to retrieve data. These sources need to be incorporated into data models that Power BI can extract data from.
As a starting point, creating customized interactive dashboards is quick.
However, before dashboards can be set up, a thorough data model must first be built. The data model can either be built directly in Microsoft Power BI or using Jet Analytics, for example.
Once the data model is in place, you can set up all the different dashboards and reports you want.
With Power BI, you can combine data from multiple data sources and display them as easy-to-read charts and tables in a Power BI dashboard.
Power BI is a cloud application and an integrated part of Dynamics 365. Power BI can pull data from more than 50 different applications, including Business Central, Jet Analytics and Excel. All selected data is gathered and presented as a visually stunning snapshot.
You can present data and analytics in a single, customized dashboard that can be accessed from your preferred device. This means that updated data, analytics and reports can be accessed exactly when you need it – from PC, smartphone and tablets.
You decide whether you want your data to be updated manually or automatically at a set interval. If the update is done automatically, you will get the correct and updated data immediately when you open your dashboard.
Many companies can benefit from combining Power BI with Jet Analytics.
Jet Analytics’ strength lies in its ability to retrieve, process and analyze data from Business Central. At the same time, Jet Analytics contains a number of pre-built data models that, with customizations, fit the vast majority of companies.
By using Jet Analytics, you skip the initial work of setting up data models and go straight to customization.
Power BI retrieves data from Jet Analytics, which is then presented and visualized in an optimal way in a dashboard. Once the data model is in place, you can set up all the different dashboards and reports you want in Power BI.
