Microsoft Power BI is a business intelligence and data visualization tool developed by Microsoft. It allows users to connect to various data sources, such as Excel, SQL Server, and cloud-based services like Azure and Google Analytics, and transform that data into interactive and visually appealing reports and dashboards.
Power BI also has a wide variety of pre-built and custom data visualizations, such as charts, tables, and maps, that users can use to analyze and present their data.
The tool is designed to be user-friendly, with a drag-and-drop interface and a wide variety of pre-built visualizations that can be easily customized. Power BI also offers a wide range of data modeling and transformation capabilities, including data cleansing, data transformation, and data aggregation, which makes it easy to prepare data for analysis.
Power BI has several main components:
- Power BI Desktop: A Windows-based application that you can use to create and publish reports and dashboards.
- Power BI Service: A web-based service that allows you to view and share your reports and dashboards with others. It also allows you to create, view and share your reports,s and dashboards with other users.
- Power BI Mobile: An application for mobile devices like phones and tablets that allows you to view and interact with your Power BI content on the go.
Power BI is widely used by businesses and organizations of all sizes to improve decision making and gain insights from their data. It provides robust and scalable capabilities to analyze, visualize and share the data in an easy and interactive way.
With Power BI integration with other Microsoft products such as Azure, Dynamics and SharePoint, it can be easily adopted and embedded into a wider solution.
