Power BI Commenting & Budgeting: Enrich, comment and budget with Power BI (Inforiver)

In many evaluation scenarios, it is not enough to simply load the data from a source system. You also need to record additional data that is not yet available anywhere else.

For example:

• Budget or target values that you want to compare with the actual values
• Comments that you want to add to certain data points to provide explanations or recommendations for action
• Responses to comments you have received from other people in the company

IT-Logix has the perfect solution for you: Power BI with Inforiver.

Inforiver is an add-in for Power BI that allows you to capture, annotate and save data directly in Power BI.

With Inforiver you can:

• Thanks to a custom visual for tables and charts, enter data directly in a Power BI report and write it back to a database, for example.
• Add comments to individual data points that are stored in a central database
• Reply to comments from other people in the company and thus promote a dialog
