Power BI

Power BI is a business analytics solution that lets you

• visualize your data
• share insights across your organization, or embed them in your app or website.
• Connect to hundreds of data sources and bring your data to life with live dashboards and reports.

Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Your data may be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what’s important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.

The parts of Power BI

Power BI consists of:

• A Windows desktop application called Power BI Desktop.
