In a earlier put up, “Maintain Your Dashboards in Your Pocket, Half 1: Use Your Predefined Dashboards on Your IOS Units“, I defined the best way to use Energy BI app in your IOS units.

On this put up I specific the best way to use Energy BI app in your Home windows units. It’s comparatively straightforward to put in and use the Home windows app.

• Go to www.powerbi.com and click on on the “Obtain from Home windows Retailer” button
  

• It mechanically results in the app web page in your Home windows Retailer
  

• Click on Set up to put in the app
  

• After the app put in efficiently open it from begin menu
  

• Click on Signal In
  

• Enter your account data and click on “Proceed” then “Signal In”
  

• After you signed in click on on “AdventureWorks” from dashboards part
  

• After looking your dashboard you may click on on every chart to open it
  

• To jot down an annotation and share an screenshot of the chart you may click on on the share button, write annotation and ship it to a colleague by clicking on the share button
  

• If the chart is pinned to the dashboard from an present report you may browse the report by clicking on the report button
  

• You may click on on every chart merchandise from the report’s charts to see relative modifications on the opposite charts. It will navigate you to the corresponding report web page that the chart belongs to
  

• It’s also possible to kind the charts OR choose a number of chart objects. To take action proper click on on a chart (you are able to do the identical by lengthy clicking on a chart)
  

• It’s also possible to change the chart filters:
  

  • Click on on a chart
    

  • Click on “Filters” from the proper pane
    

• Click on “Visible” and setup a desired filter
  

• To ask a colleague to see the dashboard, return to the “Journey Works” dashboard and click on on the “Invite a Colleague” button then enter the recipients’ e-mail addresses, sort a message then click on “Invite”. You may permit/disallow the recipients the power to share the dashboard with others by clicking ticking the corresponding tick field.
  

• You may open every report from the “Reviews” situated within the residence display screen of the app
  

• To create a brand new dashboard/report you may proper click on on residence display screen of the app and choose dashboard/report that navigates you to the corresponding web page. Then you may add new dashboard from “Dashboards” web page or add a brand new report from “Reviews” web page. Clicking on the “Add a brand new dashboard/report” will open your browser so as to create new dashboard/report from there. Due to this fact, I don’t suppose that is one thing useful as you may at all times go and browse your Energy BI tasks on-line and create new dashboard/report from the web site.
  

That is how you should utilize the Home windows app in your Home windows primarily based machine. I attempted to cowl nearly every thing that appears helpful or necessary to me.
