Reporting and presenting data are crucial elements in any company. They allow for:
Monitoring financial results
Managing human resources
Analyzing sales and marketing
Project management
Risk management
Communication with stakeholders
One of the solutions for creating reports and processing/presenting data is SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) - a tool by Microsoft, enabling the creation of complex business reports that can include various elements such as tables, charts, maps, and integrated data from other sources. With SSRS, users can generate reports in different formats, such as PDF, Excel, Word, or as a web page.
Power BI is a tool that enables data representation and in-depth analysis. Through visualization tools such as interactive charts, maps, pivot tables, and dynamic filters, users can easily understand their data and draw valuable insights from it. Additionally, Power BI allows for data integration from various sources, such as databases, Excel files, enabling comprehensive business analysis in one place. The final report can be shared as a publication, PDF file, image, or web page.
As a result, Power BI and SSRS become indispensable tools for companies and organizations that want to leverage the potential of their data in the process of making business decisions.
