Power BI consulting
We help people use their reports to understand performance and investigate what changed. Our team connects the sources and prepares shared business measures on Databasin. You can keep Power BI for reporting or rebuild a report as a Data App, with rollout and support for the people using it.
The work behind a useful report
We work on the sources and calculations that determine what a report tells people. Manual exports can become scheduled preparation. When departments calculate a measure differently, we examine the definitions with the business owners and implement the required logic.
Those prepared views can support Power BI or a Data App rebuilt from the report. We implement the reporting work and train people to use its measures. The aim is a review in which users can examine a result and follow the question back to the records behind it.
What we improve in reporting
Data preparation
We connect the sources and schedule preparation around the periods and records the reporting work needs.
Business calculations
We implement agreed measures in business views so reports and plain-language questions can use the same logic.
Report use
We build the application and train people to use its measures and investigate results in their reviews.
How does a report rebuild work?
The Data Apps importer reads a Power BI layout and calculations and recreates them using connected Databasin tables. It accepts .pbix and .pbit files. Import is in beta, and the result includes a list of visuals or calculations that did not translate.
We address that remaining work during the rebuild. People can then request changes in plain language and share the published app's link.
What happens next
We would like to hear where your team wants to make progress with data and AI. We can discuss a project you have in mind or explore where Databasin could help with the work.

Book a conversation about your organization and the work you want to improve. Questions about where to start are welcome.
Explore the opportunity
We show a working example that answers your business questions, then discuss what it would take to deliver it for your team.
Get the first result
After agreeing the first use case, we implement it with your team. We train the people using it and measure how it performs.
FAQ
Can Databasin prepare data for reports that stay in Power BI?
Yes. Databasin can prepare the governed views Power BI queries. We implement their source connections, pipelines and measures around the reporting you intend to keep and its required access route.
Does the importer open the records embedded in a Power BI file?
The importer reads the layout and calculations in the browser. It does not open embedded report records. The rebuilt app queries connected Databasin tables for the values it displays.
What if two existing reports calculate the same measure differently?
We review the definitions with the people responsible for them. A shared definition goes into a governed view so reports and questions can reuse it. Differences can then be traced to the calculations involved.
How does access work when someone opens a rebuilt report?
The viewer's warehouse permissions govern each query, including filter changes. Queries are checked as read-only whenever they run. The data stays in the lakehouse; the app stores its page and query definitions.
Can a colleague change an app after its original author leaves?
Yes. Authorized colleagues can inspect saved versions and ask for changes in plain language. The edits remain private drafts until publication. Publishing the new version keeps the same link for report users.
Can users export a view for a meeting?
Yes. CSV, Excel and PDF exports include the selected filters. The file captures the current view for the meeting; the live application can be opened again for subsequent data and questions.
Can someone ask a question beside the Data App?
Yes. Explore the data opens Databasin One beside the report with its tables selected. A person can ask about a change and examine the SQL, using the access already established for them.
What determines how recent the report's numbers are?
The available source records and completed refresh determine the numbers. We configure preparation around the reporting need. Its period and schedule help users understand which source changes can be reflected.
Can the prepared measures support more than one application?
Yes. Other applications can use the governed views when those definitions answer their questions. We add the records or calculations needed for the new use case while retaining useful shared measures.
Is user training part of a report implementation?
Yes. We train the users and handle rollout, communication and success measurement. After launch, the team can operate the work, provide monthly support hours or stay on call under the agreed arrangement.
