But in reality, this is just the report layer that pulls from the underlying data in the semantic model. Power BI Reports can contain one or more of these report pages that we can choose to sync up with one another. Visual elements like data visualization, slicers, text labels and images, or algorithms like anomaly detection or clustering, run through the user interface and they can appear in the report page. If we think about Power BI models as icebergs, the report view is the part of the iceberg that sits above the water where anyone above the surface can easily see it. This part of the iceberg, however, only represents about 10% of its total mass. This means that 90% of an iceberg's mass sits under water and out of view of anyone on the surface.
