Power BI report development and DAXORA Forge
How DAXORA Forge relates to Power BI: what native report generation means, what to evaluate, and what is and is not claimed today.
Where DAXORA Forge fits next to Power BI
Power BI is Microsoft's business analytics platform for building and sharing reports and dashboards. Developing those reports by hand takes analyst time for each report, and consistency depends on how each one is built.
DAXORA Forge is not a replacement for Power BI. It is designed to generate reports and dashboards as native Power BI assets, so the result can be opened and governed with Power BI's own tools.
Hand-built Power BI reports and generated native assets
| Aspect | Hand-built in Power BI | Generated with DAXORA Forge |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | An analyst builds each report by hand | A generated native asset to review and refine |
| Review | The author checks their own work, often with a second reviewer | The people who own the report review the generated output before publishing |
| Governance and publishing | Handled with Power BI's own tools | Handled with Power BI's own tools, because the output is intended to be a native asset |
| Licensing and tenant settings | Controlled by your organization and Microsoft Corporation | Unchanged: controlled by your organization and Microsoft Corporation |
What to evaluate
- Which Power BI asset types are generated, and for which versions?
- How much of a generated report is usable as it is, and how much needs rework?
- How the generated output is reviewed and compared with requirements or with an existing report.
- How calculations, data models and security rules are represented.
