- Reusable structure: The PBIX file can be reused for recurring reporting after the data source is updated.
Opportunities for Improvement

Teams with advanced reporting needs can also add DAX measures, drill-through pages, or custom tooltips.
Best Practices
- Keep source data column names consistent before refreshing the report.
- Validate totals for investment, redemptions, expenses, and current value after every data update.
- Use slicers during meetings instead of exporting separate static reports for every segment.
- Review risk and expense ratio visuals together so return is not analyzed without cost and exposure context.
- Save a backup copy before changing the model, measures, or relationships.
