To capture the attention of your audience, Power BI lets you expand the charts and drill into the reports. Refrain from cluttering your dashboard with unnecessary information and data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The best thing about Microsoft Power BI is that you can share the dashboard with colleagues, peers and major decision-making professionals in the organisation.

As a result, users can see the updated data, which helps in boosting the transparency and productivity of the organisation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The drag-and-drop functionality of Power BI simplifies the presentation and data extraction process in interactive <\/span>data visualisation<\/span>s. Here are certain items which are customisable in the Power BI dashboards:<\/span><\/p>\n You have the option of setting up access filters for ensuring that viewers only see information which is relevant to them.

This implies that data is streamed continuously letting viewers solve issues and determine opportunities on the go. Live data can go from business apps, social media or any other source.

This is a very useful feature for users who access Power BI through their mobile devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Power BI dashboards enable direct uploading of visualisations and reports instead of uploading large files to the shared drive or sending them via email.
