Microsoft software for connecting data, analyzing it and presenting reports and dashboards.
Power BI brings together tools for connecting to data, preparing it for analysis and presenting findings through interactive reports and dashboards. Report creation involves more than selecting a chart. The underlying data must be transformed and modelled so that the results answer the intended business question. Power BI Desktop supports this authoring work, while the Power BI service provides related reporting capabilities. Someone who reads a dashboard may therefore need different skills from someone who builds and maintains it. A job’s stated responsibilities help establish whether the work concerns report use, data preparation or report development.
