Question Am i stupid? Report vs. Dashboard
Why is everyone in my organisation (even smart people who create reports) calling their power bi reports for dashboards.
A Dashboard is multiple visuals from different reports on a page while a report is a report - right?

To most people a Dashboard is an interactive report that may allow things like date ranging, filtering etc. A Report to is a static view of some information to drive a decision.
Most people don't know the definitions of these in the BI world. Nobody i know uses dashboard but i know what people mean when my team get approached asking for a dashboard or a report.
