Dotsquares is a Microsoft Gold Partner with a dedicated Power BI practice that's delivered reports, dashboards, semantic models, and embedded analytics for businesses across the UK, US, Australia, India, and beyond. We work with businesses that are starting from scratch with Power BI, those that have invested in the platform but aren't getting the value they expected from it, and those that need specialist support on specific problems — a slow report, a complex DAX requirement, a governance question, or an embedded analytics integration. Whatever stage you're at with Power BI, we've seen it before.
A Power BI dashboard that's genuinely useful looks very different from one that just has charts on it. The useful one shows the right information to the right person, at the right level of detail, in a way that doesn't require a training session to navigate. We build reports and dashboards from the ground up — starting with what decisions the report needs to support and who's making them, rather than starting with whatever data is available and seeing what charts we can make from it.
Most Power BI performance problems, calculation errors, and report inconsistencies trace back to the data model. A star schema built with the right table relationships, the right grain, and measures written in clean DAX will outperform a flat table imported from Excel every time — both in speed and in the reliability of the numbers it produces. We design and build proper semantic models, whether inside Power BI Desktop or in Analysis Services / Azure Analysis Services for larger-scale deployments.
Microsoft Fabric integration with Power BI unifies your data estate by bringing together data engineering, data warehousing, real-time analytics, and business intelligence into a single SaaS platform. We help you leverage Fabric's OneLake architecture to centralize data from multiple sources, build unified semantic models, and deliver Power BI reports that draw from a single source of truth — eliminating data silos and reducing infrastructure complexity across your analytics stack.
Multi-tenant environments, regional sales teams, and customer-facing analytics all require data visibility controls that restrict what each user can see based on their role or organizational hierarchy. We implement row-level security (RLS) in Power BI using dynamic DAX filters, role definitions, and Azure AD integration — ensuring users only access the data they're authorized to view while maintaining a single shared dataset and report structure that scales efficiently across thousands of users without duplicating content.
Power BI environments that have grown organically tend to develop problems — reports duplicated across multiple workspaces, no clear ownership of published content, sensitivity labels applied inconsistently, and admin settings that haven't been reviewed since the tenant was set up. We work with businesses to establish a governance framework that's proportionate to the size of their Power BI deployment, without creating so much process overhead that people stop using the platform.
A Power BI report that takes 30 seconds to load rarely gets used. Slow reports are usually the result of data model problems — too many rows in the wrong table, DAX measures that trigger full table scans, relationships that Power BI has to work hard to resolve — rather than Power BI itself being slow. We diagnose slow reports using DAX Studio and Performance Analyzer, find the specific bottlenecks, and fix them — without having to rebuild the whole report from scratch in most cases.
If your business is moving reports from Excel, SSRS, Tableau, Qlik, or another legacy BI tool to Power BI, we handle the migration properly — not just recreating the old reports in a new tool, but using the opportunity to improve them where the original design had limitations. For businesses with Power BI environments that have grown into an unmanageable number of workspaces and reports, we also handle consolidation and rationalisation projects.
A Power BI deployment that only one person in the business can maintain is a business risk. We run structured training programmes for report authors, data modellers, and administrators — tailored to the specific version of Power BI your business uses, the data sources you connect to, and the level the participants are starting from. We also build internal documentation and governance guides that your team can use as a reference after training is done.
Power BI isn't a deploy-once-and-forget platform. New data sources need connecting, existing reports need updating when upstream data models change, performance issues emerge as data volumes grow, and Microsoft releases updates that occasionally change how things work. Our managed support service keeps your Power BI environment maintained, your users supported, and your content current — so the reporting capability your business depends on doesn't quietly degrade over time.

Businesses struggle to maximize tech investments in today's fast-changing environment. Our 20+ years of experience can help you get the most out of your technology. We offer flexible solutions that adapt to your evolving needs.

Our Power BI development process is built around understanding what your teams need to see, how they need to see it, and what actions those insights should drive.
Planning & Consultation
We start by mapping out your reporting requirements, data sources, and the business questions your dashboards need to answer. This isn't a generic discovery call — we dig into which datasets matter, who needs access to what, and what decisions will be made based on the reports we're building.
Identify all relevant data sources — ERP systems, CRMs, databases, spreadsheets, cloud apps — and document which business metrics and KPIs need to be tracked.
Work with stakeholders to outline the structure of each dashboard, determining what visualizations tell the story most effectively and what drill-down capabilities are needed.
Define who needs access to which reports, what level of data visibility each role requires, and how row-level security will be implemented to protect sensitive information.
Build a phased delivery schedule with clear checkpoints like data model validation, dashboard design review, UAT sessions — so progress stays visible and on track.
Design
Our designers and BI specialists create dashboard mockups that prioritize clarity and usability. Power BI reports can get cluttered quickly, so we focus on visual hierarchy, logical layout, and making sure the most important metrics stand out without overwhelming users.
Design the layout of each report page with attention to how users will scan the information — top-level KPIs first, supporting details below, interactive filters placed logically.
Choose the right chart types for each metric — bar charts for comparisons, line graphs for trends, tables for detailed breakdowns — avoiding unnecessary visual complexity.
Apply your brand colors, fonts, and design standards across all dashboards to ensure reports feel like a natural extension of your business environment.
Build working prototypes in Power BI Desktop for stakeholder review, allowing teams to interact with sample data and provide feedback before full development begins.
Development
Our Power BI developers build out the data models, write DAX measures, connect live data sources, and construct the final dashboards. We keep you in the loop with regular progress updates and working versions you can test as development moves forward.
Build optimized data models in Power BI with proper relationships, calculated columns, and measures that support fast, accurate reporting at scale.

Add slicers, drill-throughs, bookmarks, and cross-filtering capabilities so users can explore data dynamically and find the insights relevant to their role.
Testing
Before any dashboard goes live, we run thorough testing to confirm data accuracy, validate calculations, check performance under realistic data loads, and ensure reports render correctly across devices and browsers.
Cross-check all calculations, measures, and visualizations against source data to ensure every figure displayed is accurate and audit-ready.
Test dashboard performance with production-scale datasets to identify slow-loading visuals, optimize query logic, and ensure acceptable response times.
Conduct structured testing sessions with actual end users, gathering feedback on usability, layout, and whether the dashboards answer the business questions they're meant to solve.
Verify that reports display correctly on desktop, tablet, and mobile, and work seamlessly across different browsers and the Power BI mobile app.
Deployment
Once testing is complete and stakeholders have signed off, we deploy the dashboards to the Power BI Service, configure workspace access, set up distribution channels, and ensure everything is ready for your teams to start using.
Publish reports to the appropriate Power BI workspaces with proper licensing, capacity allocation, and workspace role assignments configured.
Grant access to the right users and groups, apply row-level security rules to restrict sensitive data, and configure sharing permissions based on organizational roles.
