Power BI reporting that actually works: 3 real teams, real results


Most BI teams don’t struggle with data.
They struggle with turning it into decisions.

In this final session of the series, we move from theory to proof.

We’ll walk through practical examples from companies like Heijmans, Coca-Cola, Raiffeisen Bank International, and Helvetia, including a live transformation of a typical dashboard into a decision-ready report.

We’ll also quantify the impact using real data, including:

  • up to 46% less reporting effort
  • and up to 61% improvement in decision-making accuracy

If you work in BI, finance, or analytics, this session will show you what actually works—and what you can apply immediately.

You'll learn:
what real teams changed in their reporting
how they designed for decisions, not just visibility
and what impact it had on their business

Our financial landing page at KPN is completely based on the sales dashboard template. We also use a copy of the consolidated financials. The templates of Zebra BI are providing us with a lot of inspiration, and we don't "need to invent the wheel" again 😉

An amazing visual for finance. It has a lot of possibilities such as analytic periods, variances, or custom hierarchies for your income statement. 100% advisable.

I've recently been experimenting with Zebra BI's custom Table visual, which is like the native Power BI matrix on steroids. If your work allows for the use of custom visuals, I think it's definitely worth checking out. Planning on doing a video on it soon...

I had a phone interview for a #PowerBI contract, where the interviewer said of the sample dashboards in my CV: "Great...I see you use @ZebraBI!" How cool is that? And they mentioned my top-secret passphrase on the call: "Actionable Insight". I'm in.

The reusable trick of switch I think is brilliant! And obviously, Zebra BI table replaces any other table now in Power bi. RIP to normal tables!
Manuel Barahona Gandía

This visual from Zebra BI enables you to build stunning P&L, CF, and BS statements with complex structures with ease. Very intuitive for developers and users. In my opinion the best solution for Financial Reporting structures. 11 Stars!

As you say, Andrej Lapajne, we spent A LOT, searching and explaining how to do Comments, with Power Apps, and also with the help of Excel. They were workarounds!!! No doubt...this is awesome and the simple way to go forward.
