    This document discusses key differences between dashboards and pixel-perfect reports in Power BI. Dashboards tell users about critical business metrics in real time through a single view, while reports provide more detailed delayed metrics intended for printing. The document also emphasizes the importance of understanding the intended audience for a data visualization, including how they will use it and what actions you want them to take. It provides an example of a sales head wanting a detailed report on company orders.
