ReportEvening. I am currently starting a new job that utilizes PowerBi for its large data available over the past 2 years. Currently I am tasked with improving/simplifying use for users that are not willing or able to learn how to use PowerBi itself.
I am curious if my idea is possible before I start researching further on building a Power App so any information would be beneficial. I am used to coding through VScode or something similar so there is definitely some learning with Power Apps ahead for me.
My App idea is 2 fold:
1. Simple point and click with navigating between 2-3 pages, no dynamic data from PowerBi itself. Mostly flowcharts and cards with more detailed information depending on if the user wants it or not through a clickable button. (This is obviously possible, just need to build it)
2. A separate piece of the app through another menu selection to look at data in PowerBi but linking specific sections with filters applied already to make it easy on the user.
- To expand on this a little bit, it would be used in healthcare. Ideally each user has a custom filter applied to their location (NY, PA, DE, NC, GA, SC, etc...) without having to select it each time. This is not required but again, its to make it as easy as possible for them.
- The data updates nightly in PowerBi already so would need to update in the app as well.
- Currently the data needed to be seen has around 15-20 filters in PowerBi.
- Information presented needs to be searchable with Name, dates, other identifiers...
I did see I can input PowerBi tile into the app but they recommend no more than 3 tiles in the app due to the data load. I also did not find a clear answer if the graphic would update automatically or if it is stagnant.
Is this possible through PowerApps or am I better off building it outside and just loading PowerBi in that way (Not ideal due to needing additional security outside current firewall.
