Do we need Power BI Pro or is the free version sufficient?

Power BI Desktop (free) is sufficient for personal use. To share reports with colleagues, Power BI Pro is required (€10/user/month or included in M365). We advise the right license choice based on your situation.

How long does it take to build a Power BI dashboard?

A simple dashboard with 1-2 data sources is ready in 1-2 weeks. An extensive data platform with multiple sources, complex data modeling and multiple dashboards takes 4-8 weeks.

Can you convert our Excel reports to Power BI?

Yes. We analyze the current Excel reports, understand the needs of the users and build equivalent (or better) Power BI dashboards that remain automatically up to date.

Tools & Technologies

Power BI

Microsoft's powerful business intelligence tool for interactive dashboards.

Reporting & Data

What is Power BI?

Power BI is Microsoft's leading business intelligence platform that turns raw data into interactive, visual dashboards. Where Excel reaches its limits with large datasets and complex visualizations, Power BI provides real-time insights from dozens of sources simultaneously: from databases to CRM systems, Excel files and cloud applications.

Power BI Desktop lets you build reports and dashboards; Power BI Service shares them securely with colleagues and management via browser or mobile app. With automatic data refresh, all stakeholders always see the most up-to-date figures, without anyone manually compiling a report.

For businesses that want to work data-driven, Power BI is the most cost-effective choice — especially for organizations already using Microsoft 365, as Power BI Pro is included in many M365 subscriptions.

Our approach

How we deploy Power BI

We build Power BI dashboards tailored to your KPIs and decision-makers. We start by understanding what questions need to be answered and what data is available. Then we build the data connections, write the DAX measures and design the dashboards so the right insights are immediately visible. We publish to Power BI Service and train the team.

Common pitfalls

What goes wrong without guidance

We've seen these mistakes with Power BI in practice. We help you avoid them from the start.

Garbage in = garbage out: without data cleanup, dashboards give a misleading picture
Overly complex dashboards with too many visualizations confuse more than they clarify
DAX is powerful but has a learning curve — errors in measures lead to wrong figures
