Power BI is a set of Microsoft tools used in tandem with Microsoft Office Excel to provide users with the ability to quickly summarize large volumes of data, create visualizations of the results, drill down on data to see the supporting detail, and share the data in dashboards on Power BI sites.
These capabilities can be used to analyze information ranging from financial, sales, manufacturing, or human resources and more. The flexibility of Power BI allows users to create Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that can be easily updated and filtered to spot trends over time periods, regions, budgets or goals.
Additionally, the Power BI capabilities can be extended with Power Map and Power View, two tools for creating powerful and interactive visualizations. Using Power Bi allows you to analyze data in real time, giving you the ability to explore and analyze data, design interactive reports, and share this information in dashboards.
