Frequently Asked Questions.
Common questions about Power BI dashboards and reporting — answered for Irish businesses looking to turn their data into clear, actionable insights.
What does Power BI consultancy actually involve for an Irish business?
Power BI consultancy covers the full process of turning your business data into usable dashboards and reports. This starts with understanding what decisions your team needs to make and what data supports them, connecting your data sources — whether that is SharePoint, Excel, a CRM, or an accounting system — building a clean data model that ensures the numbers are accurate and consistent, designing dashboards and visualisations tailored to different teams, and setting up automated refresh schedules so reports stay current without manual updates. Mata365 manages this entire process for Irish SMEs so your business gets a working, reliable reporting system rather than a collection of disconnected charts.
What data sources can Power BI connect to for an Irish business?
Power BI connects to hundreds of data sources, but for most Irish SMEs the most relevant are Excel spreadsheets, SharePoint lists and libraries, SQL databases, CRM platforms such as Salesforce or HubSpot, accounting software like Xero or Sage, and Microsoft 365 usage data. Power BI can pull data from multiple sources simultaneously and combine them into a single unified report — meaning your sales data, financial data, and operational data can sit on one dashboard instead of three separate spreadsheets that nobody has time to reconcile manually. Mata365 assesses your current data landscape and designs the right integration approach for your Irish business.
Do I need to know how to use Power BI to benefit from a dashboard built by Mata365?
No. The dashboards Mata365 builds for Irish businesses are designed to be used by people with no Power BI experience at all — your team interacts with finished reports, applies filters, and drills into the detail they need without ever opening Power BI Desktop or writing a DAX formula. Power BI training is included for the staff who will manage and update reports going forward, but the day-to-day users of the dashboards need no technical knowledge whatsoever. The goal is a tool your team actually opens every morning, not a system only the original developer understands.
How much does a Power BI dashboard cost for an Irish SME?
The cost depends on the complexity of your data sources and the number of dashboards required, but most Irish SMEs start with a focused dashboard covering their highest-priority reporting need — sales performance, financial overview, or operational metrics — before expanding to additional areas. Power BI Pro licensing itself is included in many Microsoft 365 Business plans or available as a low-cost add-on per user, which means the main investment is in the consultancy work to connect data sources, build the data model, and design the dashboard correctly. Mata365 provides a clear scope and quote during the free initial assessment before any work begins.
How is Power BI different from just using Excel for reporting?
Excel is excellent for individual analysis but struggles as a reporting tool once data needs to be shared, refreshed regularly, or combined from multiple sources. Power BI solves the problems that make Excel reporting fragile for growing Irish businesses: dashboards refresh automatically rather than requiring someone to manually update a spreadsheet, multiple data sources combine into a single model rather than living in separate files, visualisations update in real time and allow interactive filtering, and access can be controlled by role so different teams see only the data relevant to them. Most Irish SMEs that adopt Power BI properly stop manually building monthly reports in Excel within the first few weeks.
