Reports tend to be broader and feature historic data. Because they must be delivered periodically, they represent a snapshot of a specific area or organization rather than its real-time situation. Dashboards, on the other hand, are built to visualize and organize data in real-time.

What is difference between report and dashboard in Salesforce?
Whereas Salesforce reports are displayed in columns and rows, the dashboard is a visual display of this data. Each component on the dashboard displays data from a single report. No component will display data from multiple reports. However, you can view a Salesforce report with multiple dashboarding tools.
Why are dashboards better than reports?
Dashboards are great for an everyday overview of what's going on in the business thanks to its interactivity and timeliness of real-time updated data, while reports are best for a more in-depth look at a particular data-set, which can provide deeper insight than an at-a-glance summary.
Can we create report from dashboard?
The Suggestion Box app you created includes a Reports tab and a Dashboards tab, where you can create, edit, and run reports and dashboards. These features make an app more useful by providing the business with valuable insights.
