Unified analytics that everyone can use — governed where it matters
Microsoft Power BI is an end-to-end analytics platform — connecting to any data source, building a single trusted semantic model and delivering interactive reports, AI-generated insights and real-time dashboards to every user across web, mobile, Teams and embedded in your applications.
At MS Dynamics Consulting we design and deliver Power BI solutions that go beyond visuals — building the governed data foundations, certified semantic models and organisation-wide BI practices that make insights reliable and actionable for UK businesses of all sizes.

What Power BI can do for your business
A complete analytics platform — modelled, secured and delivered for your organisation by our UK team.
Semantic Data Modelling
We design certified Power BI semantic models — defining relationships, hierarchies, DAX measures, calculated columns and row-level security — so every report across your organisation uses consistent, trusted business logic from a single source of truth.
Interactive Dashboards & Reports
Purpose-built dashboards for executives, managers and operational teams — with drill-through, cross-filtering, bookmarks, custom tooltips, conditional formatting and mobile-optimised layouts. We design for insight, not just aesthetics.
Copilot & AI Insights
Use Copilot in Power BI to generate reports and visuals from natural language, surface AI-generated narratives that explain trends and anomalies, ask questions about your data in plain English and receive smart recommendations — grounded in your governed semantic model.
Data Connectivity & ETL
Connect Power BI to Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Azure SQL, SharePoint, Excel, Salesforce, SAP, Google Analytics and 100+ other sources. We build Power Query transformation layers (M code) that clean, reshape and combine data reliably — with scheduled refresh and on-premises gateway support.
Row-Level Security & Governance
We implement static and dynamic row-level security (RLS) so each user sees only the data they're authorised to see — mapped to Entra ID groups. We also configure workspace governance, sensitivity labels, endorsement (certified/promoted datasets) and deployment pipelines for Dev → Test → Production promotion.
Embedded & Dynamics 365 Analytics
Embed Power BI reports directly inside Dynamics 365 forms, dashboards and Power Apps — giving users in-context analytics without switching applications. We also implement Power BI Embedded (Azure) for customer-facing portals and ISV scenarios where end-users should not require a Power BI licence.
Power BI dashboards we build for UK organisations
Insight-driven reporting across every function — delivering measurable value from your existing data.
Sales & CRM Analytics
Pipeline dashboards, win/loss analysis, rep performance scorecards and revenue forecasting — built on Dynamics 365 Sales and Dataverse data. Real-time visibility for sales directors and regional managers with territory-scoped RLS.
Finance & Management Reporting
P&L statements, cash flow dashboards, budget vs actuals, aged debtor and creditor reports — pulling from Business Central, Sage, Xero or SQL. Paginated reports formatted for boardroom distribution and regulatory submission.
Customer Service & Operations
Case volume, resolution time, SLA compliance, agent workload and CSAT trend dashboards — connecting Dynamics 365 Customer Service data with operational metrics. Drill-through to individual case and team performance.
Supply Chain & Inventory
Stock level monitoring, supplier performance, delivery lead times and demand forecasting dashboards — integrating ERP, WMS and logistics platform data. Alert-driven visuals that flag critical thresholds before they become problems.
HR & People Analytics
Headcount, attrition, absence, recruitment pipeline and training completion dashboards — built on SharePoint, HR system and payroll data with department-level RLS to protect sensitive employee information.
Marketing & Campaign Reporting
Multi-channel campaign performance, cost-per-lead, conversion funnel and attribution dashboards — combining Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, Google Analytics, LinkedIn Ads and email platform data in one unified view.
How we deliver your Power BI solution
A structured, data-first approach that builds lasting BI capability — not just one-off reports.
Data Discovery
We audit your data sources, assess data quality, map fields to business KPIs and identify gaps — producing a clear data architecture plan before any modelling begins.
Semantic Model & ETL
We build the Power Query data transformation layer, design the star-schema semantic model, write DAX measures and implement RLS — the foundation all future reports will rely on.
Report & Dashboard Design
Iterative report design with regular stakeholder reviews — wireframes first, then interactive prototypes in Power BI Desktop, refined until every user persona has the insights they need.
Deploy, Train & Support
Deployment via pipelines to your Power BI workspace, user training sessions, adoption support and an ongoing managed service — including dataset refresh monitoring, report enhancement and licence optimisation.

Data Modelling & DAX
Star Schema Design
We design Power BI semantic models using star and snowflake schema patterns — fact tables, dimension tables, role-playing dimensions and bridge tables. Correct schema design is the single biggest factor in report performance and DAX measure simplicity.
DAX Measures & KPIs
We write optimised DAX for complex business calculations: year-over-year growth, rolling averages, cumulative totals, budget variance, market share, customer lifetime value and many more. Every measure is named, described and tested against known reference values.
Power Query (M) Transformations
We build maintainable Power Query ETL pipelines — combining multiple data sources, reshaping tables, handling nulls, normalising dates, unpivoting and appending — using query folding patterns that push transformation work back to the source for maximum performance.
Incremental Refresh
For large datasets — millions of rows from Dynamics 365 or SQL — we implement incremental refresh policies that only reload recent data on each scheduled refresh, reducing refresh duration and gateway load significantly.

Visual Design & UX
We design Power BI reports with a clear visual hierarchy — choosing the right chart type for each insight, applying your brand colours and fonts via report themes, using bookmarks for guided navigation and tooltip pages for detail-on-demand without cluttering the canvas.
Paginated Reports
For pixel-perfect, print-ready outputs — invoice statements, regulatory submissions, purchase orders and board packs — we build Power BI paginated reports (SSRS-style) that render identically across PDF, Excel and print, with subscription-based scheduled delivery to email.
Row-Level Security
Static RLS for fixed role-to-filter mappings (e.g., Sales North, Sales South) and dynamic RLS using USERPRINCIPALNAME() or USERNAME() to derive filter context from the viewer's Entra ID identity — mapped to security tables in the semantic model.
Deployment Pipelines & ALM
We configure Power BI deployment pipelines (Dev → Test → Production), workspace governance, endorsement (certified and promoted datasets), sensitivity labels and usage metrics monitoring — ensuring your BI estate is managed with the same rigour as application software.

Dynamics 365 Embedded Analytics
We embed Power BI reports and dashboards directly inside Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, Field Service and Business Central — using the Power BI embedded control on forms and dashboards. Users get in-context analytics without leaving the application.
Power BI Embedded (Azure)
For customer-facing portals, ISV products and scenarios where end-users should not require a Power BI licence, we implement Power BI Embedded using Azure capacity and the Power BI REST API — embedding fully interactive reports inside your web application with your own authentication and branding.
Teams & SharePoint Integration
Publish Power BI reports as tabs in Microsoft Teams channels, embed in SharePoint modern pages and pin dashboard tiles to Teams channels — meeting users where they already work without requiring them to navigate to the Power BI portal.
Power Automate & Data Alerts
Configure data-driven alerts on dashboard tiles that trigger Power Automate flows when KPIs cross thresholds — sending Teams notifications, creating Dynamics 365 tasks or initiating approval workflows automatically when your data signals a need for action.
