Data Validation Power Bi reports

I have a couple of power bi reports. The reports are getting from data from an azure sql database. I'd like to ensure the data shown on the report is valid. That is the extraction, transformation and loading done on the data is valid. I dont want to show the power bi report unless its been validated. I was thinking of having of different reports that represent the same data. What are other ways/ideas to go about the data validation?

You can validate it by using Data View pane where complete preview of your source data is available.

And also you can take the table visuals and add multiple fields or columns in that table and simultaneously run the query at your azure side and validate the number from the table visuals.

Please hit Thumbs up and mark it as a solution if it helps you.
