Power BI Skill
Power BI, developed by Microsoft, is a business analytics service that provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface that is user-friendly for end users to create their own reports and dashboards. Power BI allows users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, including databases, Excel spreadsheets, cloud-based and on-premises data warehouses, web services, and more. This makes it easy to integrate and analyze data from different sources. Power BI provides tools for data transformation and modeling, allowing users to shape and enhance their data before creating visualizations. This includes features such as data cleaning, filtering, and the ability to create relationships between different tables. Power BI excels in creating interactive and visually appealing reports and dashboards. Users can choose from a wide range of visualizations, including charts, tables, maps, and custom visuals. Power BI visuals can be customized to fit the specific needs of the report or dashboard. Power Query is a data connection and transformation tool embedded in Power BI. It enables users to import and transform data from various sources, perform data cleansing and shaping operations, and load the data into the Power BI model. Power BI uses DAX, a formula language, for creating custom calculations and aggregations. DAX formulas can be used to create calculated columns, measures, and calculated tables in the Power BI model.
