Microsoft Power BI Integration for Multi-Entity Reporting | Gravity

Connect Gravity financial data with Microsoft Power BI

Connect Gravity financial data with Microsoft Power BI

Gravity Software is built on the Microsoft Power Platform and integrates with Microsoft Power BI, giving finance teams direct access to multi-entity financial data for analysis and visualization. Because Gravity stores financial data in Microsoft Dataverse, Power BI can connect to Gravity data without relying on manual exports or separate third-party reporting databases.

Finance teams can use Power BI to analyze consolidated and entity-level financial information, create interactive visualizations and combine Gravity data with information from other supported data sources. Power BI content can also be shared through Microsoft tools such as Teams, helping organizations make financial insights available where authorized users already work.

Why finance teams choose Gravity + Power BI

Why finance teams choose Gravity + Power BI

Gravity Software connects multi-entity financial data with Microsoft Power BI, giving finance teams more ways to analyze performance, explore financial information and share insights across the organization. Users can move from consolidated results to entity-level detail, create interactive visualizations and make financial information accessible to the people who need it.

Analyze financial data across multiple entities

Power BI gives finance teams a visual way to analyze financial information across multiple companies while maintaining the ability to examine individual entities. Users can compare performance, view consolidated and entity-level results, and analyze data by location, department, period or other reporting dimensions.

This makes it easier to understand both the organization-wide picture and the financial activity behind the results without moving between separate accounting databases.

Create interactive financial visualizations

Turn Gravity financial data into interactive charts, graphs and other visualizations that make complex information easier to understand. Power BI filters and slicers allow users to explore data from different perspectives, change time periods, select individual or multiple entities and focus on the information most relevant to their analysis.

Rather than relying only on static reports, finance teams can interact with financial information to identify trends, compare results and investigate areas that need additional attention.

Combine Gravity with other business data

Financial data is often only part of the story. Power BI can connect with other supported applications and data sources, allowing organizations to bring Gravity financial information together with additional business data for a broader view of performance.

Combining financial and operational information can help teams better understand the factors behind their results and uncover relationships that may not be visible from accounting data alone.

Share financial insights through Microsoft tools

Power BI gives organizations flexibility in how authorized users access financial insights. Power BI content using Gravity data can be made available through supported Microsoft experiences such as Microsoft Teams, helping users access information within tools they already use.

Depending on an organization's Power BI configuration, reports and visualizations can also be securely accessed through a web browser, making financial insights available to authorized users without requiring them to navigate through Gravity's accounting menus.

This gives finance teams more flexibility in how they distribute financial information to executives, managers and other stakeholders across the organization.

Gravity centralizes multi-entity accounting, financial and operational data in one platform. Watch this video to see how Microsoft Power BI works with Gravity data to help users analyze information across the organization and turn it into interactive financial insights.

With centralized data as the foundation, finance teams can use Power BI to explore performance without first assembling information from separate accounting systems, spreadsheets or disconnected databases. This creates a more connected view of the organization while allowing users to move from consolidated results to the underlying details when deeper analysis is needed.

Gravity stores centralized financial and operational data within Microsoft Dataverse, giving Microsoft Power BI a connected source for analyzing information across the organization.

Instead of exporting data from multiple accounting systems and combining it in spreadsheets or maintaining a separate reporting database, finance teams can use Power BI with Gravity data to build visualizations and analyze financial performance.

Because Gravity centralizes accounting across multiple entities, Power BI analysis can include both consolidated information and the underlying entity-level detail. This helps finance teams maintain a consistent source of financial data while gaining more flexibility in how they analyze and present it.
