Hi there,

I know this is more that 2 years since this thread creation but do you have any detailled estimation for building a Power BI report ? 

Many thanks,

If you are asking how many billable hours it should take for creating content, that really depends on the complexity of the content.  A simple report can be done by one person in less than a day, whereas a complex executive level dashboard with multiple underlying reports and complex DAX may take a team weeks to implement.

There is also the option to develop content and host it via the embedded model, in which you (the dev) pay a fixed monthly rate for dedicated capacity to host the solution and you can negotiate with your client for a price (something like your cost for embedded capacity plus a premium/profit).

I would add that you should scope the job and get a list of requirements and desired outcomes, then assess the current data environment (how much data scrubbing and ETL work must be implemented) in order to get a better idea of how much work will be needed.
