PowerBI Report Search

Databricks Solution Accelerator

Data shouldn’t require an interpreter. Leaders want answers, not dashboards hidden behind bookmarks and slicers. Our PowerBI Report Search Accelerator turns enterprise knowledge into a direct conversation. Ask a question in plain English, receive the metric, the visual, and the context in one seamless flow.

The result feels like magic. It’s simply the Databricks Lakehouse, Unity Catalog, and Power BI finally working together the way they always should.

Why this matters

Executives and operational teams make decisions every day based on partial insight. BI literacy varies. Complex dashboards take time to explore. Data gets old. IT becomes a bottleneck. Meanwhile, AI sits in the corner waiting to help.

Our accelerator eliminates the friction with:

  • Self-serve access via natural language
  • Trusted and governed data through Unity Catalog
  • Direct links to visuals that reinforce the truth
  • Answers delivered where business happens (Microsoft Teams, Web App, Chat UI)
  • Embedded PowerBI
  • Citations to report, backing up the answer with the truth

 

Your users jump straight to clarity.

 

The Problem: Insight Still Has a Gatekeeper

Organisations have invested millions into their data stack, yet insight feels oddly rationed.

  • Executives rely on analysts to interpret dashboards
  • BI teams drown in “quick data” requests
  • Dashboard sprawl confuses users as much as it empowers them
  • Context gets lost outside the visuals designed to tell the story
  • Every department speaks a slightly different data language

 

Despite more analytics than ever… clarity feels scarce.

 

The Most Dangerous Question In Analytics

“Can you export this to Excel?”

It sounds helpful. It quietly undermines everything.

Exports:

  • Escape governance controls
  • Lose semantic model logic
  • Duplicate into conflicting “truths”
  • Become stale the moment they download

 

Teams compare numbers and discover disagreement not because the dashboards are wrong, but because the spreadsheet version is.

 

How it works

The workflow feels effortless for users, while the architecture behind it is rigorously engineered on the Microsoft ecosystem.

The flow:

  1. A user asks a business question in natural language
  2. AI interprets intent through Databricks AI Functions
  3. A governed semantic query hits Unity Catalog data at rest
  4. We validate with your Power BI semantic model
  5. Provide:
    • An embedded PowerBI Dashboard response
    • A pre-filtered Power BI report link
    • The answer to that question actual question

 

Behind the scenes, everything is audited, reproducible, and secure.

 

Why This Solves the Last-Mile Problem

Business users don’t need more dashboards. They need:

  • Answers they can trust
  • Delivered at the moment of curiosity
  • With evidence that reinforces confidence
  • Without stepping outside governance

 

Our accelerator connects the dots:

  • Natural language reduces friction to insight
  • Power BI visuals preserve context
  • Deep links route users directly to the source of truth
  • Unity Catalog ensures security never breaks

 

No exports. No version battles.

Just data bridged directly to the decision.
