Background and objectives: In 2015, Microsoft launched a Business Intelligence service, called Power BI, which can be used in several areas of knowledge if operated by a qualified professional. Power BI has several utilities, including the integration of data from various sources and formats, case mapping, real-time data visualizations, and remote work. This study aimed to report the use experience of Power BI by utilizing data from a State Department of Health Western Amazon, Brazil. Methods: As an example, cases of tuberculosis in the state of Acre, from 2010 to 2020, were used. These data wee extracted from the Notifiable Diseases Information System, provided by the State Health Department of Acre – SESACRE. Results: Power BI offers a simple and intuitive interface. To share the experience, we provided a link (http://tiny.cc/tbacre) to explore the tool and understand the speed and practicality in data visualization. Conclusion: We recommend the use of Power BI mainly in agencies that need agile decision-making based on evidence.
