This blog is about how we build a PowerBI report using PowerBI.

A Power BI report is a multi-perspective view of a dataset, with visuals that represent different findings and insights from that dataset. A report can have a single visual or pages full of visuals. … You also may be a business user who consumes or uses reports.

Let`s start to create a report in PowerBI.

  1. To create a report first we require a dataset. So here I am going to use sample data set which is by default available into PowerBi.

Here I am using the “Procurement Analysis Sample” dataset.

2. After successfully adding the dataset, Click on your dataset to create a new report. Now you can see a blank canvas.
