The save button is here!💾 We can now make real use of the "visualize this view" feature in #PowerApps and create persistent #PowerBI reports with it. I tested this quickly during our team's sales meeting today. I've created a few follow-up metrics into the opportunity table used in our CRM ("Business Forward" app). Identifying which opportunities haven't been updated for a while, where the last activity is in the distant past, all that basic sales pipeline hygiene stuff.🗂 Having the values in Dataverse columns is nice, but let's face it: Model-driven Power Apps charting features haven't evolved for over a decade now. To do anything meaningful, you need to crack open the Power BI Desktop and start building reports from scratch.😐 Except that you don't need to anymore. I can now take the view filters and columns from my Power App, generate a quick report on it, save it to a Power BI workspace and continue to edit all the core report settings in the browser. Then save the changes, distribute the report to users. And it literally takes only a few minutes from me. Writing these summaries and grabbing the screenshots takes longer than creating the report itself.😆 This is a huge step for any citizen data analyst who wants to drill deeper into #Dataverse data. Reminds me of the "5 minutes to wow" principle that the former MS BizApps lead James Phillips used to always promote. It really does make a big, big difference in how fast you can see the results of what you are building.🤩
Carl Campbell and this is the key new Power Apps / Power BI preview release we spoke about earlier.
I've been demoing this to a customer today, such a great feature!
