How to filter the current user with measures in your Dynamics 365 Business Central embedded Power BI report.

Embedding Power BI reports directly in Dynamics 365 Business Central is one of the many synergies of the Microsoft 365 platform. Giving users context relevant analysis right on the page where they need to see it helps make faster and better decisions. Previously I have looked at how to easily publish a new data set as a web service from BC and use this data in a Power BI report shown on the BC role center page . An interesting requirement that came up this week was the need to filter a BI report to only show data related to the current user. Initially row level security was considered; but this was not as easy to implement as using a basic visual filter and the 'Measure of a Measure' approach.

Business Central & Power Automate - Post to teams / Post invoices

To make the most of Dynamics 365 Business Central you should invest some time to understand how Power Automate works. In this example I'll start off by simply connecting BC to teams with some flows. Teams is especially handy alongside BC as regular business users (with a standard Microsoft 365 / Office 365 license) can view BC records posted to teams. This is pretty huge, as it means you can provide visibility of records across the whole business without also needing to have everyone setup as a licensed BC user. Just turn on access for M365 users: With Power Automate you can setup action buttons to post to teams on demand or create "when a record changes" triggers to post if particular thing happens - that you want to notify a team about. For these flows I'm going to focus on the use of adaptive cards also; as these specifically allow any user of teams to open the BC record in teams and take advantage of the "Access with M365 license" feature.
