Report or Dashboard in Power BI

In this episode of her Report Design Series, Allison goes over the difference between a report and a dashboard in Power BI because those are actually two separate items in Power BI, each with a different purpose.

Hi, this video is so underrated. This solves one of the simplest question at work, what's the difference between a report or dashboard and what are they used for, thank you so much

Great video. It’s a basic distinction that’s easy to get glossed over or assumed. This really helped clarify the difference for me, thank you.

The comment at the end finally made it click. If you have multiple pbi reports and want to link them together, a dashboard is the way to go. This is likely the main reason that interactivity is not functional. Otherwise, for a single pbi report, a dashboard is redundant and overkill, and I think why so many people struggle to understand the point. Although, I have heard some say that dashboards are for decision makers who just need information at a glance. Well, if you're that divorced from your organization's data, you don't belong in the C-suite.

Very helpful when you are setting up a power BI dashboard in power apps to know what a dashboard actually is.

coming from the Tableau world, this is very helpful.

excellent contribution!, just a general question: - Once I pinned a visual on a dashboard; Does the dashboard visual update automatically when updated in the source report? My main concern is that the dashboard visual remains static and the user has to access the source report to see the updated indicator

I have used slicer on dashboard, is it not kind of interactivity. its date slicer, by changing date range, I can see charts updated.
