For many organizations, the best solution is to combine both:
- Custom Page for operational dashboards where users can view KPIs, filter records, and take actions (such as opening opportunities, updating records, or creating activities).
- Power BI for executive reporting, trends, forecasting, and advanced analytics.
This gives sales managers a seamless experience inside Dynamics 365 while still providing powerful reporting capabilities.
| Control | Purpose |
| Radio/Toggle | Team vs Individual |
| Combo Box | Select one or more salespeople |
| Date Picker or Dropdown | Time period |
| KPI Cards | Pipeline, Revenue, Opportunities |
| Charts | Pipeline by stage, Revenue by month |
| Gallery/Grid | Opportunity details |
| Buttons | Export, Refresh, Open Power BI |
This approach allows managers to switch between Team and Individual views, select one or multiple salespeople, and have the dashboard update dynamically—all without leaving Dynamics 365 CE.
