Microsoft Power BI is a unified, scalable platform for self-service and enterprise business intelligence (BI). We use this tool to connect and visualize the data collected in the platform, which provides you a strong data visual into your cost, GL, services, savings, and inventory.
The Power BI Reports consists of several standard dashboards:
Dashboard Name | What it shows you… |
---|---|
Summary | |
Trending |
The visualizations you see on the dashboard, such as charts, graphs, tables, are called tiles. You may interact with each tile, such as:
Applying a filter
Exporting the results
Focusing on a single tile
Showing as a table (applies to graphs or charts)
Sorting the data
The Dashboard page presents a summary of vendor expenses depicted in various graphs and charts. This main window shows the evolution of expenses by vendor, location, and total spend.
