Power BI - Summary

Overview

Power BI is a display and graphical software, similar to PowerPoint. The main difference, however, is that Power BI is interactive in terms of filtering data. The creating of a Power BI "report" requires an inputted dataset. This could be an Excel sheet, an online database, or even a manually inputted table. A "dashboard" is a collection of reports, arranged in a tile pattern (link dashboard page).

Getting Started

It is recommended that the desktop version of Power BI is used, as it can be easily published to the online version upon completion.
