A lot of times people ask me why Power BI is the best BI platform in the world (which by the way it is :)) and I always tell them that if you evaluate by the feature:
- Visualization
- Data transformation
- Data modeling
- AI
Probably Power BI is not the best on any single feature but combined, in my opinion, excels every other tool (Simpson Paradox?)
And another very important aspect to consider when evaluating a BI Platform is the ecosystem and on that aspect Power BI + Office 365 provide a unique set of possibilities that can really make you a lot more productive:
- Analyse in Excel with Pivot Tables and not simple export
- Create a workflow whenever a value change with Microsoft Flow
- Export a Power BI report to Power Point or dynamically embed with DevScope Power BI Tiles
- Auto scale your Power BI Premium capacity with Microsoft Flow
- …
In this post I’ll give you another example of these kind of integrations on the Office365 Power Platform:
Create a Microsoft Form to collect user feedback about Power BI App and add the link to feedback in the app
First you need to create the form:
Get the form Shared link:
And using the awesome new App Navigation experience just add the feedback link in the App Navigation like this:
Now if your user click on “Give us Feedback” the form will open inside the app:
As a form admin you can see all the feedback results:
Is this awesome or not?! And you can create this in 10 minutes!
Next steps:
- Create a generic form for all the apps receiving in the querystring the appid
- Create a Flow to send alert of new feedback and realtime integration in a push dataset (our amazing AI team did this for a AI competition: https://medium.com/devscope-ai/code-walkthrough-for-dspt-day-devscope-machine-learning-competition-with-logicapps-microsoft-cdc8efecaa79 )
- Power BI Report to analyse all the Feedback and calculate NPS for the Power BI deployment
