We build, optimise, and maintain Power BI dashboards \u2013 from operational reports to executive risk views. Clean data models, purposeful design, and visuals built around the decisions your team needs to make. Not dashboards for a demo. Dashboards for daily use.<\/p>\n
Request an Estimate<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A dashboard that nobody uses is a waste of budget. The problem is almost never Power BI \u2013 it’s unclear requirements, poor data models, or visuals that don’t match how people actually make decisions. We build dashboards that get used because we start with the questions, not the charts.<\/p>\n The dashboard shows everything and answers nothing. Calculated measures that don’t correspond to how the business actually reports, relationships between tables that produce wrong numbers, and a report that takes 45 seconds to load. Users open it once, can’t find what they need, and never come back.<\/p>\n A 3D pie chart, six KPI cards, and a scatter plot that nobody knows how to read. Charts that impressed in a demo but don’t help anyone understand what to do next. Decoration instead of information. The right visual for a risk heatmap is not the same as the right visual for budget variance \u2013 and most dashboards don’t make that distinction.<\/p>\n Six months after go-live, the data refresh is broken, two measures were changed without updating the report, and the dashboard now shows last quarter’s numbers as if they’re current. Trust erodes. Everyone goes back to Excel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From a single operational report to a full multi-page dashboard suite. We work with your data sources, your requirements, and your Microsoft 365 environment \u2013 and we bring AppSource-level platform knowledge to every engagement.<\/p>\n New Power BI dashboards built from your data sources. The process always starts with requirements \u2013 what decisions does this dashboard need to support, and who is making them? Then a clean, efficient data model. Then purposeful visuals. Not charts for the sake of charts. Typical deliverables include:<\/p>\n Specialised dashboards for corporate risk registers \u2013 connected directly to SharePoint<\/a> and powered by our AppSource-certified Risk Matrix visual. Typical pages include:<\/p>\n Existing dashboards that are slow, confusing, or no longer trusted. We start with an audit \u2013 data model, DAX measures, visual choices, and report structure \u2013 and give you a written assessment of what’s causing the problems before changing anything. Typical issues we fix include:<\/p>\n Moving from Qlik Sense, QlikView, Tableau, or Excel-based reporting to Power BI. The data model and report logic need to be rebuilt \u2013 a migration is not a copy-paste. We handle both, including:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LeapLytics develops and maintains certified custom visuals for Power BI \u2013 including the Risk Matrix heatmap visual used by organisations including Rail Baltica and VELUX across Europe. When we build your dashboard, we bring AppSource-level platform knowledge with us. That means we know what Power BI can and can’t do natively, when a custom visual adds value, and when the standard chart is the right choice.<\/p>\n AppSource-certified heatmap for risk portfolios. Plots risks on a 5\u00d75 matrix by probability and impact, with configurable colour bands, labels, and drill-through. Used by hundreds of organisations as the centrepiece of their risk dashboard.<\/p>\n A suite of certified visuals for status reporting, project timelines, and structured data display \u2013 available separately on AppSource and as part of dashboard builds we deliver for clients.<\/p>\n Browse our Power BI visuals \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We start by understanding what decisions the dashboard needs to support, who is making them, and how often. We map your data sources, identify gaps, assess data quality, and agree on the scope in writing before building anything. This stage often surfaces issues that would have caused problems later.<\/p>\n A clean, efficient data model comes before the first visual. We build the model in Power BI Desktop, review it with you, then build the report pages, visuals, and interactivity. We share progress regularly \u2013 typically a review after the data model is complete and again mid-build \u2013 and incorporate feedback before finalising.<\/p>\n You test the dashboard against real scenarios and validate the numbers against your source systems. We fix any issues, document any known limitations, and confirm the refresh schedule is working correctly before sign-off.<\/p>\n Full handover including data model documentation, measure library, refresh schedule, and user guidance. Includes 3 months of defect remediation. Ongoing maintenance available as a retainer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Multi-page Power BI dashboard connected to a SharePoint<\/a> risk register. Pages typically include: risk heatmap (our Risk Matrix visual), pre\/post mitigation scores, appetite representation, mitigation status by function and category, Top 10 risks, and closed risk history. Feeds directly from SharePoint with automated refresh.<\/p>\n Weekly or monthly operational dashboards with summary KPIs at the top and drill-through to detail. Typically replaces a manually compiled Excel report that was taking 2\u20133 hours per week to produce. Connected to SharePoint lists, Excel files, or SQL databases depending on the source.<\/p>\n Budget vs actuals reporting with variance analysis, trend lines, and forecast views. Typically connected to Excel or ERP exports. Includes period-to-date, year-to-date, and full-year views with consistent formatting across cost centres.<\/p>\n RAG status, milestone tracking, resource allocation, and delivery confidence across a project portfolio. Typically fed from a SharePoint project list or a structured Excel tracker. Replaces a weekly PowerPoint deck that was taking a project manager half a day to compile.<\/p>\n Structured compliance dashboards with control status, due dates, owner assignment, and automated highlighting of overdue items. Often combined with a Power Automate<\/a> alert flow that notifies owners when their controls are approaching their review date.<\/p>\n Revenue, pipeline, and conversion reporting from CRM exports or SharePoint-based sales trackers. Includes funnel views, trend lines, and territory breakdowns. Replaces weekly Excel-based pipeline reports with a live, self-service dashboard.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We work on a Time & Material basis. You pay for days actually worked at a fixed day rate \u2013 no fixed-price guesswork, no hidden costs. If it takes fewer days than estimated, you pay less.<\/p>\n Preferential rates available for existing clients. Power BI consulting is often combined with SharePoint Development<\/a> \u6216 \u98ce\u9669\u767b\u8bb0\u518c<\/a> builds \u2013 single day rate across the full engagement.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LeapLytics built our Power BI risk dashboard connected to our SharePoint register. The heatmap, appetite matrix, and mitigation status pages give our risk team and board exactly what they need.<\/p>\n \u2014 Risk & Compliance Team, Energy, Denmark<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Excellent tool to visualise the full risk portfolio.<\/p>\n \u2014 Rail Baltica<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Convinces us across the board.<\/p>\n \u2014 VELUX Commercial<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Most Power BI consultants use the tool. We build for it at platform level \u2013 certified custom visuals, AppSource publishing, and a depth of knowledge that comes from having to understand how Power BI renders data, not just how to drag a chart onto a canvas. That expertise shows in the dashboards we deliver for clients.<\/p>\n A beautiful dashboard on a bad data model fails eventually \u2013 usually at the worst possible moment. We build the model properly from the start: star schema where it matters, clean relationships, efficient DAX, and a structure that can be maintained after handover without requiring us to be involved in every change.<\/p>\n Our dashboards connect to SharePoint, Power Apps data, Excel, and other M365 sources. If you need the data structure built as well as the dashboard, we do that too \u2013 same team, same day rate, no handover between separate workstreams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n No. We work with Power BI Pro licences as standard. Power BI Premium is only needed for specific scenarios \u2013 large-scale embedded analytics, paginated reports at scale, or very high refresh frequencies. We’ll tell you upfront if your requirements need it, and we won’t recommend it unless they do.<\/p>\n Yes. Power BI connects to SharePoint, Excel, SQL Server, Azure, and hundreds of other sources via standard connectors. We assess your data sources during the requirements phase and advise on the best connection approach for reliability and refresh performance.<\/p>\n Yes. Report optimisation is one of our most common engagements. We start with an audit \u2013 what’s slow, what’s wrong, what’s confusing \u2013 and give you a written assessment before changing anything. Then we fix what needs fixing, in order of impact.<\/p>\n Yes. We have experience migrating from Qlik Sense and QlikView to Power BI. The data model and report logic need to be rebuilt from scratch \u2013 this is not an automated migration. We handle the full rebuild including parallel validation to confirm the numbers match before cutover.<\/p>\n A single focused dashboard typically takes 3\u20135 days. A multi-page suite with a clean data model usually takes 6\u201310 days. Migrations vary: a straightforward Qlik app with 3\u20134 reports is typically 5\u20137 days; a complex QlikView application with many calculated fields and multiple data sources can take 10\u201312 days.<\/p>\n Yes. Every engagement includes 3 months of defect remediation after handover. Beyond that, ongoing maintenance \u2013 data model updates, new pages, visual changes, refresh troubleshooting \u2013 is available as a monthly retainer. Many clients find a small retainer more cost-effective than calling us in reactively when something breaks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our most common Power BI use case \u2013 a live multi-page risk dashboard connected to a SharePoint risk register, with heatmap, appetite representation, mitigation status, and Top 10 risk views. Framework design, register build, and dashboard delivered as a single engagement.<\/p>\n Power BI dashboards need clean, structured data to be reliable. We build and configure the SharePoint lists that feed your dashboard \u2013 correct column types, validation, and structure that makes the data model straightforward. Same team, same engagement where needed.<\/p>\n Our certified custom visuals \u2013 Risk Matrix, Traffic Light, Gantt, Matrix Table, and more \u2013 are available on Microsoft AppSource for use in dashboards you build yourself. Free trials available.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tell us what you need to measure, who needs to see it, and what data you have. We’ll come back with an indicative scope and estimate within 24 hours.<\/p>\n Get in touch<\/a><\/p>\n Or email us directly at info@leaplytics.de<\/a><\/p>\n Related services:<\/strong> \u98ce\u9669\u767b\u8bb0\u518c<\/a> · SharePoint Development<\/a> · Power Apps<\/a> · Power Automate<\/a><\/p>\nMost Power BI dashboards don’t get used after the first week.<\/h2>\n
