Cash Flow Power BI Reports for Xero

Home / Report Templates / Cash Flow Power BI Reports for Xero

The Cash Flow Power BI Reports for Xero is a simple dashboard that provides a series of reports to analyse your Cash Flow statement in Power BI. For an Excel version of this report, see the Cash Flow Excel Reports for Xero.

The dashboard includes:

• Monthly Cash Flow Statement

Not only this, but it can also consolidate data from multiple Xero Organisations (data files) when using the Consolidation OData Feed.

While this is a fully working and standalone dashboard, it can also be used as a starting point that can be further customised or modified as required to fit whatever business rules you need. It is not locked in any way. Because of this, it can also be used to learn how to create power queries, how to create DAX formulas, etc.
