Frequently asked questions
Can Power BI replace our Tableau, Crystal, or SSRS environment?
Often yes. Ascension migrated 140 Crystal Reports to Power BI in 20 weeks (4 hr to 8 min report run time, $1.1M a year in licensing saved). We scope migrations realistically. Sometimes the answer is partial migration. Sometimes it's no migration.
What is a Power BI semantic model and why does it matter?
A semantic model is the layer where your tables, relationships, measures, and metric definitions live. Bad semantic models cause every downstream dashboard to be wrong in the same way. We rebuild them as a foundation step.
Can Power BI feed AI reporting automation?
Yes. We connect to the Power BI Service via REST APIs and read-only credentials. See our AI Reporting Automation service for how the layer on top works.
What's the difference between Power BI Pro and Premium?
Pro is per-user licensing; Premium is capacity-based. The right answer depends on usage volume, dataset size, and which features (paginated reports, AI services, Premium-only datasets) you need. We do the math with you.
How do you optimize slow Power BI reports?
Usually it's the data model, not the report. Star schemas, calculated columns vs measures, incremental refresh, and aggregation tables fix most cases. We measure first.
Do you provide Power BI training?
Yes. Knowledge transfer is part of every engagement. We can also build a custom training program for your team, including role-based curricula.
Is Power BI Copilot enough on its own?
Sometimes. Native AI features are good for generic patterns. We build for your specific reports, metric definitions, and approval workflow. We use Copilot when it's sufficient. We don't replace it when it's not.
