What is Microsoft Power BI?
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 might 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.
Power BI consists of several elements that all work together, starting with these three basics:
- A Windows desktop application called Power BI Desktop.
- An online software as a service (SaaS) service called the Power BI service.
- Power BI Mobile apps for Windows, iOS, and Android devices.
These three elements—Power BI Desktop, the service, and the mobile apps—are designed to let you create, share, and consume business insights in the way that serves you and your role most effectively.
Beyond those three, Power BI also features two other elements:
-
Power BI Report Builder, for creating paginated reports to share in the Power BI service. Read more about paginated reports later in this article.
-
Power BI Report Server, an on-premises report server where you can publish your Power BI reports, after creating them in Power BI Desktop.











Comments and Reviews
Great business analytics suite with a wide variety of data sources to choose from in a fully featured free solution.
Range of data source support and provides a better environment than excel for adhoc power query workflows.
Microsoft Power BI is a handy tool for both self-service and IT-managed enterprise BI projects.
Have nice tools and many ways to get your data into the project. The only thing missing is a way to connect with google docs, hopefully soon.
