From requirements to dashboard

From a business question to a BI dashboard

You describe the business and show how the tables look. AI proposes a model, KPIs, measures and pages. You say yes — or you change it. The path is the product: business question → KPI → data model → DAX → dashboard.

Fewer weeks of workshops. More time for decisions.

Table schema, AI, and a finished dashboard in one BI design flow

You know this moment

A report is due. Not “a sales chart” — a solution people will use to decide. So what do you do?

  • A blank Power BI file and guessing which page to build first.
  • ChatGPT that writes DAX — but does not design the whole report.
  • Weeks of meetings before anyone draws the model and KPIs.

In short

You: “That’s what we meant.” · BiDesignLab: “Here’s the project. Connect the data.”

  • It is not a chatbot.
  • It is not a one-chart generator.
  • It is not access to your production database.
  • It is a guided process: business question → KPI → data model → DAX → dashboard, then a package you open in Power BI — with Tableau and Qlik blueprints in the same ZIP.

One rule for the whole wizard

Nothing moves on until you have seen it.

  1. 1AI proposes
  2. 2You review
  3. 3You accept
  4. 4The project is built

Six steps. You approve each one.

You don’t need DAX. You need to know what the report is about and where the data will come from.

  1. 01

    Name the solution

    For example “Sales analytics”. Pick an area — sales, finance, operations — and optionally an industry. You don’t pick the BI tool first. You design once.

    You

    Name and topic

    The app

    Creates the Studio project

  2. 02

    Show structure, not numbers

    Paste table and column names — from a database, Excel, or a model screenshot. No customer rows, no transactions. That’s enough to design the report.

    You

    Tables, columns, types

    The app

    Recognises relationships and the topic

  3. 03

    Say where the data will come from later

    Excel, CSV, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, or an existing Power BI file. Passwords go into Power BI Desktop later — not here.

    You

    Source type

    The app

    Maps tables to the future connection

  4. 04

    AI proposes. You decide.

    Goal, report users, KPIs, data model, pages. For each piece: accept, reject, or refine in plain language. Nothing goes into the file without your yes.

    You

    Accept or correct

    The app

    Proposes and checks it can be calculated

  5. 05

    Layout and look

    KPI cards, charts, filters, page order, colours, menu. After you have an account you can add a company logo. The report should look like yours — not an empty template.

    You

    Approve the layout

    The app

    Designs every page

  6. 06

    Download the file and connect data

    A ZIP with a Power BI project (.pbip), a measure list, and a guide. Open it in Desktop, connect sources, refresh. Live numbers appear on your side — not in the browser.

    You

    Download and deploy

    The app

    Assembles the package in the browser

What you hold at the end

A Power BI project

A .pbip file — pages, charts, measures, and the model. You open it in Power BI Desktop.

An implementation guide

What to open and in which order, so you don’t get lost in the folder.

A measure list

The KPIs you approved — ready to check with a stakeholder.

Tableau and Qlik sketches

If someone in the company uses another tool. A blueprint, not a native file like .pbip.

Then, on your side

  1. 01Unzip and open the .pbip in Power BI Desktop (enable .pbip preview if needed).
  2. 02Connect sources — tables and relationships are already in the project.
  3. 03Passwords and Excel paths go in Desktop, not on the website.
  4. 04Refresh and check the pages. Tweak details if you want.

What the app does not do

  • It does not connect to your production database or pull confidential rows.
  • It does not replace Power BI Desktop — it generates a project you open there.
  • It does not make business decisions for you. It proposes. You approve.

A table schema is enough to design the report. Not production data.

How we protect data

In short

You know what the report is about.

BiDesignLab turns that into a model, KPIs, pages, and a file you can open.
