but you want to go further in analyzing this data

00:00:09

than what a simple list or view can offer.

00:00:12

A built-in Microsoft Power BI feature

00:00:16

is available directly within your list

00:00:18

and allows you to create advanced visualizations.

00:00:22

As a reminder,

00:00:23

Power BI enables you to visualize data from various sources,

00:00:27

making it easier to interpret and analyze.

00:00:31

To begin,

00:00:33

click on the integrate option,

00:00:35

then select Power BI

00:00:37

and finally choose Visualize the list to create your first report.

00:00:42

A warning message will appear to inform you

00:00:45

that the report will display all items in the

00:00:47

list to anyone who already has access to it,

00:00:50

even if their permissions are limited.

00:00:53

In other words,

00:00:53

if the list contains 100 items but a user only has access to 90,

00:00:59

The Power BI report will still show all 100.

00:01:03

This integration does not respect granular permissions.

00:01:08

If you wish to create different visualizations

00:01:10

depending on the audience or context,

00:01:13

a filter pane is available to help tailor the display.

00:01:16

Once you are on the report page,

00:01:18

you can customize it as needed.

00:01:26

And save your changes once satisfied.

00:01:30

Please note that the report will not appear in your regular Power BI workspace.

00:01:35

Instead,

00:01:36

it will remain accessible directly from the list through the same menu

00:01:40

used to create it.

00:01:42

This menu can host several different reports,

00:01:44

and any user with at least read access to the list can create their own report.

00:01:49

If you ever need to delete a report,

00:01:51

you must first open it and then click on the delete option.

00:01:55

This action will remove the report for all users.
