PowerBi Review

Power BI is a cloud-based business intelligence and analytics service that provides a comprehensive overview of the most important data. By connecting to all data sources, Power BI makes it easy to evaluate and share data with scalable dashboards, interactive reports, embedded visuals, and more. Power BI works through two products available for download: Power BI Desktop and Power BI Mobile. From desktop, it is an on-premise solution that connects to a cloud-based service to easily upload and share data and information within the company. From mobile, it has the same features, but in an app, so you can have a 360-degree view of your company anytime, anywhere.

POWER BI – TUTORIAL

Let’s see in this tutorial how to create dashboards in a few steps with this business intelligence software:

POWER BI – FEATURES

• Dataset: as defined by Microsoft, “a dataset is something you can import or connect to”. The solution connects to all data sources in an organization, bringing together data of any kind in one place. This reduces the lengthy activities associated with the acquisition, access and evaluation of data, facilitating the identification of trends and business decisions
• Dashboards: dashboards are interactive panels that relate data across smaller displays called tiles. Dashboards are linked to each dataset for comparison and evaluation and can be shared with colleagues to easily exchange information
• Reports: reports from this program can be created from scratch to ensure that only important information is included. These custom reports can be imported into any dashboard for quick and easy sharing among colleagues
• Navigation Pane: with the Navigation Pane, you can easily move between datasets, dashboards, and reports
• Question and answer box: the question and answer box allows you to explore data by asking a question in natural language. The technology uses reformulations, autofill, hints, and more to help you find the correct answer for the first time
• Help and feedback buttons: these are resource buttons for settings, downloads, support, and feedback to the Power BI team
• Office 365 application launcher: this lets you quickly open the Office 365 apps you want and need.
