Track time more effectively and turn your data into actionable insights. Lucen Track now integrates with Microsoft Power BI, making it easier to visualize, analyze, and report on how your team spends time.

Lucen Track already includes built-in reports, recaps, and progress charts designed to help teams better understand productivity and project performance. With the new Power BI integration, you can now take that analysis even further by transforming workspace data into advanced dashboards and visual reports.

This update expands Lucen Track’s growing ecosystem of Microsoft integrations, which also includes:

How the integration works

With this integration, you can use your Lucen Track workspace as a data source directly inside Microsoft Power BI. Power BI supports a wide variety of data sources, including Excel, SQL Server, and numerous online services; and Lucen Track is now one of them.

This allows you to combine time tracking data with powerful business intelligence and reporting capabilities to create custom dashboards, productivity reports, and project performance visualizations.

Adding Lucen Track as a data source

We’ve also prepared a complete setup guide that walks you through the process step by step.

Creating dashboards and visual reports

Once your data is connected, you can start building visual reports in Microsoft Power BI using your Lucen Track workspace data.

Power BI offers a wide range of visualization options, from classic bar and line charts to more advanced graphs, dashboards, and performance reports. The best visualization style will depend on the type of data you want to analyze and the insights you want to uncover.

For example, you can create reports that track project performance, monitor team productivity, analyze billable hours, or evaluate project profitability over time.

Below is an example of a Power BI report showing project profitability grouped by quarter:
