To know about data validation techniques
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hi Kmanikanta ,
I recommend that you use Power Automate to export report to PDF or create report subscription. For report subscription, you can create subscription directly in the Service after publishing report to the Service. Email subscriptions for reports and dashboards in the Power BI service - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Licenses: Power Automate license, Power BI Pro or PPU
Here's my test of creating a flow export report for your reference.
Original data.
Step1. Create measures for statistics.
Count = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),ALL('Table'),'Table'[ID]=MAX('Table'[ID]))Total = COUNTROWS(ALL('Table'))Step2. Save and Publish report to Service.
Step3. Create Flow.
Best regards,

How to Use Data Validation in Power BI Dashboards for Accurate Insights:
Please follow below link, here is a brief detail how to use validation in Power BI.

OR read below assumed solution:
Data Validation with DAX Measures
You can create DAX measures to validate your data. For example, you can create measures to count total records, identify duplicates, and summarize these findings. Here’s a basic example:
TotalRecords = COUNTROWS('YourTable')
DuplicateRecords =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('YourTable'),
FILTER(
'YourTable',
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'YourTable',
'YourTable'[ID] = EARLIER('YourTable'[ID])
)
) > 1
)
)2. Using Power Query for Data Validation
Power Query can be used to clean and validate data before it is loaded into Power BI. You can create custom queries to check for duplicates, missing values, and other data quality issues.
3. Data Profiling in Power Query
Power Query has built-in data profiling tools that can help you understand the quality of your data. You can enable data profiling in the Power Query Editor to get insights into column distribution, value distribution, and more.
4. Creating Validation Reports
You can create a validation report in Power BI that includes visuals like tables and KPIs to display the results of your data validation measures. For example, you can create a table visual to list duplicate records and a KPI visual to show the total number of records.
5. Automating with Power Automate
Power Automate can be used to schedule and automate data validation processes. You can create a flow that refreshes your Power BI dataset and sends a summary report via email.
Example Workflow
- Create DAX Measures: Define measures to count total records and identify duplicates.
- Build Validation Queries: Use Power Query to clean and validate data.
- Enable Data Profiling: Use data profiling tools in Power Query to assess data quality.
- Design Validation Report: Create a Power BI report with visuals to display validation results.
- Automate with Power Automate: Set up a flow to refresh the dataset and distribute the report.
By following these steps, you can automate your data validation process and generate comprehensive reports in Power BI. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to resources like Esbrina’s blog on data validation with Power BI and Poespas’ blog on using data validation in Power BI dashboards12.
