How can users set and receive alerts when data changes beyond specified limits in Power BI?

In Power BI, users can set and receive alerts on data changes by utilizing dashboards and adding alerts to tiles. When a dashboard tile reflects a particular metric or visual, users can configure alerts directly on that tile. These alerts are based on thresholds that the user specifies, meaning they can define what constitutes a significant change in the data. When the data meets the set conditions, Power BI sends notifications via email or through the Power BI mobile app, thereby informing users of important changes without needing to monitor the dashboards constantly.

Creating a new visual does not inherently provide a mechanism for alerts; visuals serve primarily for data representation rather than notification. While exporting data to Excel allows for further analysis, it does not facilitate real-time alerts based on specified data changes. Although Power Automate can be utilized for alerts as well, such functionality is typically integrated with dashboard tiles in Power BI. Therefore, the most straightforward and effective way to manage data change notifications is by adding alerts to tiles in dashboards.
