Let End Users Drive: Empowering User Control in Power BI Reports
In this session we emphasize crafting interactive Power BI experiences, turning viewers into active participants. The session covers Power BI's native visual personalization, its strengths and limitations, and dives deeper into advanced customizations with Field Parameters and Disconnected Tables. By the end, attendees will be equipped with methods to enable user personalization, integrate user-controllable external data, and continuously refine the interactive report experience, making Power BI reports truly user-driven.
Creating a Power BI report isn't just about presenting data; it's about crafting an interactive experience. This session dives deep into transforming passive report viewers into active participants, giving them the reins to shape and personalize their data journey. From the native "Let users personalize visuals" feature, to more advanced customizations using Field Parameters or Disconnected Tables, we'll explore the spectrum of user-driven report personalization.
We'll kick off by exploring Power BI's built-in capability allowing users to adjust visuals on the fly. While powerful, it comes with its own set of limitations. That's where the magic of Field Parameters or Disconnected Tables steps in, offering even deeper layers of customization. Beyond these, we'll touch on the potential of integrating external data controllable by the end user, paving the way for a truly bespoke report experience.
As the curtain falls, you'll be armed with the techniques to not only enable user personalization but also to harness their inputs. Through this, you can continually refine the user experience, ensuring your Power BI reports aren't just seen but are interactively experienced. Dive in, and let's make your reports user-driven!
