I'm trying to have multiples reports with same dataset in a single workspace with Power BI.
I know i have to use "Power BI dataset" in Power BI Desktop.
But everytime i publish, it create a direct query new dataset instead of use the precedent one.
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help !
In the Power BI Service, you can click on the ellipsis of the dataset and Create report.
Being a beginner in PowerBI, I am trying to import dataset on online portal of PowerBI(aap.powerbi.com). When I upload the data, I am not able to see the option to transform or manipulate data. What is the way I can access this without using power BI desktop
The PowerQuery or the Trasnform Data option is only available in PowerBI cloud. Even if you want to create measures or new columns you'll have to do it on the desktop, there's no way around this unfortunately currently. If it is possible in the future, let me know here!
Its better to use power bi desktop to data manipulation and preparation part.
I'm working on a Power BI project that:
1/Takes data from Google Sheets
2/Makes some modifications with power Query (or any other program)
3/Create the rapport
4/send it to the client
what i want to do is to automate these 4 steps.
the data's structure is the same, the content and the title of the columns are different from google sheets to other (depend on the client).
I'm new with BI and pretty inexperienced with Power BI so apologies if there is a simple answer to this question or if i didn't explain it as well as possible.
I need your help please.
Unfortunately power bi has no built in connections for google sheets.
give this article a try How to connect google sheet with power bi?
If that doesn't work you can try getting connector or API etc... you Can also explore using VBA (selenium) or some form of web automation to get it done.
some other workaround you can try is using smart sheet or Microsoft Excel
I want to know if I can use Power BI to create reports in Excel? I want a well formatted report we present before clients.
Clients provide us data in SQL. I use statistical analysis tools. The analysed numbers are in SQL again. I have Power BI on my laptop. I want to know if I can build any process where I can create excel reports from the SQL server numbers?
I do use PBI for creating charts and graphs which I later manually paste in excel reports. But have no idea if complete report making is possible.
Can anyone elaborate??
Thanks!!
Power BI is (mostly) the combination of two Excel plugins, Power Query (Get data from Excel 2016 onwards) and Power Pivot. The visual/report layer is an advanced version of Power View in Excel.
You have two options. First you can use Excel to have the Power BI experience in getting and connecting the data together. For this method you will use the Power Query (M) and Power Pivot (DAX) parts, these are the same as getting data and using the relationship designer in Power BI. If you are currently copying and pasting visuals from Power BI into Excel, then this method would be the best way. You may want to create your visuals in Excel, and format them to a Power BI look and feel.
The second option is to create the dataset in Power BI, getting and transforming the data, then publishing it to the service. You can then use 'Analyze in Excel' to connect Excel to the dataset and surface the data in Excel.
I would recommend not copy and pasting visuals from Power BI to Excel as you lose the benefits of Power BI's interactivity, just use the normal charts, slicers and other tools in Excel. By using the first option, you are keeping the workflow in one application without any convoluted steps back and forth, and anything you learn and use in Power Query and Power Pivot you can use in Power BI.
I am just starting out with Power BI. So far it has been easy to learn. My goal is to create a dashboard like this:

I am just wondering if someone knows an interactive power bi sample like this. Is it even possible to create such reports in power BI?
Thanks.
Yes, it is possible to create dashboards like this. See for example Power BI Embedded Playground or Microsoft Sales & Returns report (download or view in browser):
