Chapter 4. Using NAV Web Services with Microsoft Power BI

In 2009, Microsoft came up with the idea to introduce a self-service business intelligence platform by announcing several BI add-ins for Microsoft Excel, such as Power Pivot, Power Query, and Power View. Following this, the Microsoft BI platform has silently evolved and Microsoft has presented a complete platform called Microsoft Power BI.

Microsoft Power BI is a growing platform for business reporting and data analysis. In this chapter, we want to discover how to use Power BI services to analyze data from Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The data from the NAV ERP will be published as web services to the Power BI platform. Here you will learn about the following topics:

  • An overview of Power BI platform
  • Publishing Microsoft Dynamics NAV data to Power BI
  • Creating rich BI dashboards and reports with Power BI and NAV data
  • Embed Power BI reports into a Microsoft Dynamics NAV page
