Report vs Dashboard What’s the difference?
They both present data, but they’re used differently.
📄 A Report gives you more detail. For example, a sales report might show revenue by product, region, month, and individual transactions.
📊 A Dashboard gives you a quick overview. The same sales data could be turned into KPIs, charts, and trends so you can quickly see revenue, top products, and whether sales are going up or down.
Think of it this way:
Report → “Let me understand the details.” Dashboard → “Let me quickly see what’s happening.”
Neither is better. The right choice depends on what you need the data for.
