In this article, I’ll go through some of the specifics of teamwork using MS Power BI to build dashboards and visualizations faster.

The Case
Let’s start by illustrating the scenario. You have many different databases and data sources. You have to work with that data to get meaningful information from it and design visualizations that’ll clearly transmit those insights. You have some constraints…
