Session Abstract

As Power Platform developers we create solutions that collate data, so it is inevitable that our users will want to understand that data. Including reporting in our early-project requirements enables us to create a holistic solution- capture, work with and understand data, while asking the right questions and understanding good report design enhances our skillset.

Note to event organizers

I'm delivering this talk to D365PPUG South-West in May 2025

Neil Rowlands

I'm a senior Power Platform and Power BI practitioner-trainer with a previous career in digital marketing and data analysis. I am a regular speaker at UK user groups and a co-host of D365PPUG South-West and Power Platform User Group Wales, which meet quarterly in Bristol and Cardiff. In 2026 I am mentoring 6 people to become community speakers at these events. I hold 9 certifications: AB-100, AB-730, AB-731, MB-280, PL-100, PL-200, PL-300, PL-400, PL-500 & PL-600 plus 6 Fundamentals. I am an experienced Microsoft Certified Trainer and have introduced hundreds of people to Power BI and Power Platform.. Instead of presenting technical walkthroughs which are passive for the audience, I treat each session like a mini-training session, creating opportunities for attendees to engage their minds and contribute.
