Smart reporting in Business Central with Power BI - Dennis Wolf

In this short explainer, Dennis Wolf shows you how to use Power BI to get an overview and insight into your data within Microsoft Business Central. No more separate Excel files, but interactive dashboards directly in your ERP environment.

You start from a recognizable problem: large Excel views without structure and a lot of time spent on reports. Then you'll see step by step how Power BI solves this - integrated directly into Business Central.

In this video you will learn:

  • How Power BI works within Business Central (cloud as well as on-premise)
  • How to easily add reports to the role center
  • What Power BI Apps are and what's new as of Business Central 25.1
  • How to filter, open, bookmark and link reports to processes
  • When you need a Power BI Pro or Premium license

In doing so, Dennis shows that you can not only use standard reports, but also link your own Power BI reports - even when starting from existing Excel data.
