Creating a dashboard

We have our report uploaded in the service. Now, we'll want to create a dashboard. The school of thought is that you can have several reports combined from several different data sources in your service. You may want to combine these visuals together and consume bits and pieces of each report in a single view. Dashboards are just that--a single compilation of visuals from reports. You can have as many reports and dashboards as you like or need, provided you do not exceed the space allotted to you by Microsoft.

Note

The free version of Power BI allows you 1 gigabyte of data per user, while the paid version allows you 10 gigabytes of data per user.

Now, let's create a dashboard from the visuals on our current payables report by following these steps:

  1. Go to www.PowerBI.com and log in using your Power BI account, if you are not already logged in.
  2. Click on the ellipsis next to VendorInfo under Reports on the Power BI navigation bar on the left:
