Explore what Power BI can do for you

-

Introduction        

             Microsoft Power BI is a collection of apps, software services and connectors that come together to turn unrelated data into visually impressive and interactive insights. Power BI can work with simple data sources like Microsoft Excel and complicated ones like cloud-based or on-premises hybrid Data warehouses. Power BI has the capabilities to easily connect to your data sources, visualise and share and publish your findings with anyone and everyone.

        Power BI is simple and fast enough to connect to an Excel workbook or a local database. It can also be robust and enterprise-grade, ready for extensive modeling and real time analytics. This means it can be used in a variety of environments from a personal report and visualisation tool to the analytics and decision engine behind group projects, divisions, or entire corporations.

        As Power BI is a Microsoft product and has built in connections to Excel, there are many functions that will be familiar to an Excel user.

In Power BI Desktop, users can:

1.Connect to data

2.Transform and model the data

3.Create charts and graphs

4.Create reports and dashboards that are collections of visuals

5.Share reports with others using the Power BI service

What does Power BI do?

        Microsoft Power BI is used to run reports and surface insights based on a company’s data. Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sets, and “tidies up” the info it’s fed so that it can be better digested and understood. The reports and visuals generated from this data can then be shared with other users.

        Power BI helps users see not only what’s happened in the past and what’s happening in the present, but also what might happen in the future. Power BI is infused with machine learning capabilities, meaning it can spot patterns in data and use those patterns to make informed predictions and run “what if” scenarios. These estimates allow users to generate forecasts, and prepare themselves to meet future demand and other key metrics.


Why do people use Power BI?

For businesses who want more reporting power and analytical muscle than that offered by Excel, Power BI is the next level in business intelligence. With Power BI, businesses can assemble, scrutinize, and visualize data from across the company, giving them greater insight into their operations and performance, and allowing them to make more informed decisions based on real data.


Here are some of the key benefits of using Power BI:


* Businesses can input huge quantities of data into Power BI that many other platforms would struggle to process

* Built-in machine learning features can analyze data and help users spot valuable trends and make educated predictions

* Information can be visualized using powerful templates to allow businesses to better make sense of their data

* Power BI is cloud-based, so users get cutting edge intelligence capabilities and powerful algorithms that are updated regularly

* Powerful personalization capabilities allow users to create dashboards so they can access the data they need quickly

* Alerts can be set up on KPIs to keep users up to date important metrics and measurements.

* Power BI has an intuitive interface that makes it far more user-friendly and easy to navigate then complex spreadsheets

*The platform integrates with other popular business management tools like SharePoint, Office 365, and Dynamics 365, as well as other non-Microsoft products like Spark, Hadoop, Google Analytics, SAP, Salesforce, and MailChimp

*With data security a massive talking point for modern businesses, Power BI ensures data is safe, offering granular controls on accessibility both internally and externally

    Model-driven apps           Model-driven app design is a component-focused approach to app development. Model-driven app design doesn’t require code and the apps you make can be simple or very complex. Unlike canvas app development where the designer has complete control over app layout, with model-driven apps much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app.   Model-driven apps start with your data model – building up from the shape of your core business data and processes in the Dataverse to model forms, views, and other components. Model-driven apps automatically generate great UI that is responsive across devices.           Model-driven app design doesn’t require code and the apps you make can be simple or very complex.  With model-driven apps, much of the layout is determined for you and largely designated by the components you add to the app. Form...
