PL-900 Practice Question: Describe the business value of Microsoft Power Platform
Which TWO of the following are advantages of using Power BI dashboards over Power BI reports?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Dashboards can show data from multiple reports on one page.
Power BI dashboards are designed to consolidate tiles from multiple reports and datasets onto a single page, providing a unified view of key metrics without requiring users to navigate between separate report pages. This cross-report aggregation is a core advantage of dashboards over reports, which are limited to a single dataset per report.
