Military Power BI Question

I am very new to Power BI, and we (the US Army) are looking to use it to manage/track personnel that are being assigned to specific vacancies. I have the data in Excel and Access formats, but I honestly don't know how to use it in Power BI to achieve the desired outcome.   The Outcome is a system that allows us to see all positions from their start and end dates, and alert us when a position is coming to the end, has not been filled, and how many positions remain, etc.   can you please give me any advice? Insight? This is almost building a car and you don't know what a wheel is yet.

 

Examples of Data are available (I would have to remove personal identifing information first).

      Is there a way to attach a document? That would be the easiest way.  The main idea is to have two database (either both excel or one excel and one access) be able to merge together and combine common data with the inclusion of names, and be able to see what names are associated with with posistion and on particular start and end dates.
