Snapshot reporting in Power BI - What, Why & How?

A snapshot is a copy of a set of records/metrics as viewed on a particular date & time. Snapshots taken over a span of time help enterprises analyse factors such as movement, trends, and variances. A very common use case of snapshot reporting is in Finance, where there is a need to take a snapshot of data & metrics during close of reporting (day/week/month/quarter) periods.
