New Apps (2024 release wave 2) > Power BI reporting in Business Central, 2024 release wave 2: 76 embedded Power BI reports in seven apps, set up through an assisted setup wizard per company, with Finance and Sales Overview demoed. Also covers planned demo data, new apps, and open-sourced .pbix files from release 26. [Watch on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY) · Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (YouTube) · 2024-10-08 · 15:17 · tier official · reviewed (checked by Opus) ## Overview The video presents the new Power BI reports for Business Central that are embedded in the application and reachable through role centers and role explorer. It demos the Finance reports (financial KPIs, balance sheet drill-through) and the Sales Overview reports, then walks through the setup wizard, which covers calendar type, date range, holidays, and mapping Power BI workspaces to companies. It then covers the roadmap: more demo data in an upcoming minor release, new apps for subscription billing, sustainability and fixed assets, and open-sourcing of the report files from release 26 in April. ## Key points - 76 Power BI reports are embedded in Business Central and can be opened from role centers and role explorer. - Setup needs a Power BI workspace connection and picking the right apps; the assisted setup wizard covers calendar type, date range, holidays and workspace-to-company mapping. - Apps are currently per company, so each company needs its own setup. You can start with one app, add more later, and revisit the setup. - Finance financial KPIs need account categories mapped correctly during configuration. - Inventory reporting needs two separate apps for complete coverage. - Planned: more demo data in a coming minor release (financial, project, fixed assets first), plus new apps for subscription billing, sustainability and fixed assets. - Announced: the .pbix report files will be open source on GitHub from release 26 (April), so reports can be customized and data sources added. ## Chapters - [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=0s) Introduction and Overview - [1:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=80s) Embedded Reports and Setup Overview - [2:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=162s) Accessing Reports and Documentation - [3:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=223s) Demo - Reports in Business Central - [6:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=403s) Installation and Setup Wizard - [10:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=614s) Configuration and Account Mapping - [12:51](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=771s) Roadmap and Future Enhancements - [14:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=858s) Open Source and Closing Remarks ## Features | Feature | Status | At | Evidence | |---|---|---|---| | Power BI Embedded Reports | status not stated, demoed | [0:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=19s) | | | Finance Reports | status not stated, demoed | [2:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=121s) | | | Sales Overview Reports | status not stated, demoed | [6:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=387s) | | | Power BI Setup Wizard | status not stated, demoed | [8:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=480s) | | | Power BI Apps for Inventory | status not stated | [9:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=594s) | | | Demo Data for Power BI | announced | [13:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=783s) | "in one of the coming releases minor releases hopefully the second one we will add demo data" ([13:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=783s)) | | Subscription Billing App | status not stated | [13:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=824s) | | | Sustainability App | status not stated | [13:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=839s) | | | Fixed Assets App | status not stated | [13:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=839s) | | | Open Source Power BI Files | announced | [14:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=858s) | "from the next release which means uh release 26 which is April uh we will open source the report files" ([14:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpYJOkwKxTY&t=858s)) | ## AL objects mentioned As heard in the captions.
