Conclusion
This chapter highlighted powerful integration points between Power BI, SSRS, Analysis Services, Excel, PowerPoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and Dynamics 365. This included connecting Power BI to Analysis Services, leveraging DAX as a query language to support custom reports in Excel, pinning reporting service visuals to Power BI dashboards, and utilizing cube formulas to build templates or scorecard report layouts. Additionally, an example was provided of designing an automated workflow with Power Automate to push data from a relational database to a streaming dataset in the Power BI service, thus delivering real-time visibility to source data changes via common Power BI visualization and data alert capabilities.
