Do not rely on AI or vibe coding for your reporting needs! 

Reporting in FileMaker can feel limiting as requirements grow. What many teams don’t realise is that a lot of enterprise customers already have access to Power BI through Microsoft 365 — it’s simply sitting there, unused.

That makes Power BI a surprisingly accessible option for serious reporting. In this session, I’ll show how it can complement FileMaker, not replace it — and how to use it properly.

I will show you:

• How to prepare your FileMaker database for PowerBI reporting
• Setting up the foundations in PowerBI
• Some cool visualizations
• A couple of technical things that took me a while to figure out, like date tables.
• The licensing model: creating dashboards versus sharing…
• Why this is relevant for us as Claris Platform consultants.
