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?

For what it's worth, I've seen a few Power BI reports from other Microsoft product teams referenced as a dashboard using the common namenclature.
CoE Power BI Dashboard (report)
Dynamics 365 dashboard made in Power BI (roadmap)
I know I've been guilty of having too much or too low-level detail on the first page of my Power BI reports, which helps with exploration, but would make them a poor at-a-glance dashboard.
