Building Income Statements in Power BI (with Chris Barber)

Profitability is a key metric for any business, as profits can be distributed back to shareholders either directly or indirectly. An income statement—also known as a Profit and Loss (P&L) statement—answers high-level questions such as “What was our net profit last year?” while summarizing key revenue (e.g., product revenue) and expense (e.g., R&D) items.

Unlike static reports, a P&L semantic model provides granular detail, enabling users to explore insights such as “How was R&D spending distributed across projects, fiscal periods, or legal entities?” With a well-structured model, users can analyze financials dynamically through Power BI reports, PivotTables, and Excel formulas.
