III. Advance Your Report with Power BI

Integrate Impero controls into a bigger reporting landscape. Visualize effortless for differentiated results

Why should I work with Impero's Power BI integration?

You can:

• Report on live data automatically extracted from your Impero environment.
• Benefit from interactive report elements and flexible design options.
• Utilize a variety of automated & advanced visualization tools.
• Combine control reports with content outside Impero, e.g. from ERP systems or for an extensive management report.

Preparation Guide

Before you start creating your Power BI dashboard, you need to (1) create an API key in your Impero environment, (2) extract data from Impero and (3) prepare data in Power BI.

All the work is worth it, promise. 😊

Set-up Guide

Let's create a dashboard together like this! Get inspired for your individual report.

Create a consolidated overview of control performance

Demonstrate the control activities and status in your preferred structure using a decomposition tree.

Up for fine-tuning?

1. Clicking on under visualizations and select "General".

2. Turn on "Title" and enter a text and format as you wish.

3. Change the background color of headers to e.g. light blue.

Give it a time dimension

You can add time filters using a slicer, such as the year that controls are performed for, like this:

For example, by clicking on 2021, you will only see data for that year in your entire dashboard.

Learn how to:

Filter for specific control attributes

How can I only see a certain type of controls, such as key controls?

You can add a dropdown list (slicer), like this: 

By selecting Yes, you will only see data on key controls in the entire dashboard.

Learn how to:

Analyze your control mix

You can create a matrix showing the number of controls by control type, like this:

1. Click on the matrix symbol under visualizations.

2. Drag and drop the tags "control method" and "control type" to the Rows and Columns.

3. Select the number of control activities as Values by placing "Count of Completed" in the Control Activities Field.

4. Change the data type to "Count" by clicking on the arrow right to "Count of Completed".

Understand your workload distribution

You can create a treemap, for example, to present the amount of controls performed by different teams:

1. Click on the treemap symbol under visualizations.

2. Place group name under Category and Count of Completed under Values.

3. Exclude controls that are not performed by a user group by de-selecting the category "(Blank)".
