How To Quickly Create Reports in the Power Bi Service

After a recent update to the Power BI service, creating reports has become much easier. You may now paste data directly into Power BI on the web rather than downloading Power BI Desktop and have graphics generated for you as a result.  The "Create" button (also available from the Create button on Home) on Power BI's left navigation sheet now opens a page where you may pick your information source.  Currently, we only assist with creating a report using a current dataset or directly entering information; however, alternative sources, such as transferring an Excel document, show up after some time.

When you select to type or paste the content, you will be presented with a framework into which you can type or paste using Ctrl-V or the settings menu. From the settings menu, you can also add and remove columns, and if your pasted data has a header column, you can click it. To automatically elevate the primary row to the header line, use the first line as headers. The information types will be correctly identified by Power BI Development; however, you may explicitly set them using the information type icon to the left of the section name. When you go through the Create flow, Power BI Partner creates a new dataset for you and automatically generates a summed-up view of your data. These automatically generated images propel you from raw data to rich experiences faster than ever before.

Changing the information in the report is also easier than it has ever been. The Summarize sheet can be used to add or remove fields from the report. Simply choose and deselect fields to refresh what you need to measure and examine, and charts will be added or removed to display all possible combinations.  At the moment, you can only see a maximum of three measures, which appear as rows in the report, and four classes, which appear as columns.

This report can be saved to the workspace where you clicked "Create" the first time. After that, you can distribute it as you would any other report. When you or anyone with edit permissions opens the report again, you'll be taken back to this quick edit experience.  The edit button in the application bar can be used to switch into a full edit insight as needed.

However, you won't be able to return to the short edit view once you've saved the report in the full edit experience. This experience is designed to make it easier to create reports based on your data and to extend the power of report creation to a wider range of people. Microsoft is also willing to add another feature for records like Power Apps and Power Automate that will take use of this new creative flow to their SharePoint integration.
