Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need PowerBI Pro to use the template?
   No, you do not need PowerBI Pro. The template is a .pbit file that can opened with the free PowerBI Desktop app. PowerBI Pro is required if you want to publish and share the dashboard to other users using the PowerBI Service.
2. Can I use this template on Mac OSX?
   Unfortunately, the template uses the Microsoft PowerBI Desktop app which only runs on the Windows Operating System. The dashboard can be viewed on any device once published to the PowerBI Cloud Service.
3. How is the data imported to PowerBI?
   The template comes with an Excel data-import file. This file requires you to enter your assessment results. After the results have been entered, upon opening the PowerBI template, it will prompt you for the full file-path of the Excel file and automatically import all the data.
4. Do I need to know how to use PowerBI?
   No, very little PowerBI knowledge is required unless you wish to customize the dashboard. The template will automatically pull in your data and populate the charts. You can edit the logo and title with a simple point & click. The template does allow full customization to your specific assessment needs for those with PowerBI experience.
