    Hey Antusmar,

     

    Power BI is very powerful in regards to connecting to multiple data sources, using DAX and M query to model your data and create multiple calculations and then creating visuals which add more value to the solution. In addition, the ability to use custom visuals gives the user more freedom to be creative , innovative and provide solutions to complex issues. Power BI team also does a tremendous job in their monthly updates wherein they enhance and push new features every month. I have used various reporting tools in the past like SSRS, Tableau, Spotfire, but Power BI has surely become my favorite thus far and they keep winning me over. I have created simple reports using rudimentary calculations and visuals like bar charts or line charts to really complex reports wherein I used Power Apps within Power BI to write back to the data shown on the report. Using PBI will definitely add more value to the solutions that you develop.

     

    Bets of luck!

     

     

    Thank You
