SharePoint integration with Microsoft Power Business Intelligence (BI) connects your reports to SharePoint so people can use them without leaving it. You can pull data directly from SharePoint’s Library app and List app. A SharePoint Library has content and the metadata about that content in columns.
You can utilize this data in Power BI to have it in your reports. SharePoint simplifies and combines all business functions into one secure place called sites, where you can organize your documents, content, community discussion boards, lists, tasks, calendars, outlook, internal team sites, and wikis and share documents with external users.
Power BI is a business analytics service. Power BI is available to you with Office 365 subscription. Power BI can leverage business analytics and turn raw data into actionable insights, rich visual reports, and interactive dashboards, connecting the gap between data and decision-making. Microsoft Power BI is used for intelligent ways of interpreting and presenting data.
It helps organizations simplify, analyze, visualize, and collaborate on data. It is not the data that data is essential, but what businesses do with the information is important. Power BI creates engaging and interactive dashboards and reports and drives business results with meaningful insights.
SharePoint integration with Power BI
SharePoint has a secure place inside the document libraries to store files related to your projects or clients. You and other colleagues can work simultaneously and access them from any device anytime. This document library is a location on the SharePoint site where you can upload, create, update, and collaborate on files with team members.
Each library displays a list of files such as Word, PowerPoint, adobe acrobat, Excel, and Rich Text. When we integrate SharePoint with Power BI, end-users can share Power BI reports IN Share Point, provided they can access both applications.
