What is Power BI?
 Power BI is a business analytics solution that lets you visualize your data and

website. Connect to hundreds of data sources and bring your data to life
with live dashboards and reports.
 Connect to and visualize any data using the unified, scalable platform for
self-service and enterprise business intelligence (BI) that’s easy to use and
helps you gain deeper data insight.
 Make informed decisions quickly. Connect, model, and then explore your
data with visual reports that you can collaborate, publish, and share. Power
BI integrates with other tools, including Microsoft Excel, so you can get up to
speed quickly and work seamlessly with your existing solutions.
 Connect to hundreds of data sources on premises and in the cloud.
 Use Power Query to simplify data ingestion, transformation, integration, and
enrichment.
 Create reports using built-in visuals, or create your own custom visuals.
