Microsoft Power BI

Business reports on your phone

Microsoft Power BI lets you view and explore business reports and data visualizations on an Android device. It is suited to people who already use Power BI and want to check figures, follow a report, or share an observation while away from a computer. The app is published by Microsoft Corporation.

Explore and respond

Tap into reports to filter information and focus on the data that matters to you. You can annotate a report or visualization and share it with others. Data alerts can notify you when a monitored value changes, which may be useful if you need to keep an eye on a metric without repeatedly opening a report.

Part of a wider setup

This is a mobile view into Power BI data, rather than a substitute for every part of the wider Power BI suite. The reference information describes access to reports and data from the service and on-premises sources, as well as scanning QR codes to connect a code with relevant data. What you can see will depend on the reports and data available to your account.

Consider your routine

The app may fit if your work already revolves around Power BI and you value quick access to reports on a small screen. If you mainly build or manage reports, a phone app may not cover the tasks you rely on elsewhere in the Power BI suite. It has a 4.5-star rating from about 75,858 ratings and more than 5 million installs. Those figures show broad adoption, but whether the mobile workflow suits you depends on how you use business data.
