We decided to deliver this through Power BI for ease of access, and to take advantage of the flexible filtering PBI offers.

According to Dictionary.com, for many in the Gen Z demographic, "drip" refers to your look or style, particularly when it’s considered extremely fashionable; consider it as an updated version of the word, "swag". If someone mentions your "drip," you know that you can take it as a compliment. Automation in anything we do in our day-to-day jobs is definitely fashionable.
