Power BI is a business intelligence (BI) tool that allows you to connect to your data, create visualizations, and share insights with others. 

Prerequisites: 

Power BI Desktop installed on your computer. 

A dataset that you want to connect to. (Here we will use SharePoint List)

The first step in creating a report is to connect to your data. Power BI can connect to a variety of data sources, including Excel spreadsheets, CSV files, SQL databases, and cloud services like OneDrive and many more. 

To connect to your data,

Once you have connected to your data, you can start creating visualizations. Power BI offers a wide variety of visualizations, including charts, graphs, maps, and pie charts. 

To create a visualization, Click a visual from the Visualizations pane. Power BI will automatically create a visualization based on the visual that you selected.   

To Add Data into to visual: 

Under Data Pane, Expand the Data Source (Timesheet) 

Drag and drop the fields into the visual as per your need. 

Step 3: Add Filters and Slicers 

Filters and slicers allow you to narrow down your data and see specific results. To add a filter, click on the Add Filter button in the Filters pane. To add a slicer, click on the Add Slicer button in the Visualizations pane. 

Now you can also use slicer as a filter to play around with the table. 

Similarly, you can also use slicer as a filter for the other columns available in your Data Source. 

Step 4: Format Your Report 

Once you have added your visualizations, filters, and slicers, you can format your report to make it look its best. You can change the font, colors, and layout of your report. 

To format your report, click on the Format tab in the Visualizations pane. You can then make changes to the appearance of your report. 

Step 5: Final Output 

Step 6: Share Your Report
