Power BI Training In Hyderabad

POWER BI:

      Microsoft describes Power BI as a “suite of business analytics tools that deliver insights throughout your organization.” With Power BI, you can retrieve data from hundreds of data sources, shape the data to fit your specific requirements, perform ad hoc analytics, and present the results through various types of visualizations. Power BI greatly simplifies the entire BI process, making it possible for business users and data analytics to take control of their own reporting needs, while providing enterprise-grade security and scalability.

Microsoftmakes Power BI available as part of the Microsoft Business ApplicationPlatform, a somewhat confusing umbrella term that refers to several relatedtechnologies, including Power BI, PowerApps, and (according to somedocumentation) Microsoft Flow. You should already have a sense of what Power BIis about, but you might not be familiar with the other two. Power Apps is apoint-and-click application development platform, and Microsoft Flow is aworkflow and business process management platform.

For this series, we’re concerned primarily with Power BI, which provides a number of tools for delivering BI insights through browsers or mobile apps as well as embedding them within custom applications. In addition to the online service, Power BI includes Power BI Desktop, the Power BI mobile apps, the Power BI API, and Power BI Report Server. The rest of the article goes into more detail about each component.

Power BI Services:

The Power BI service lies at the heart of the Power BI offering, providing a cloud-based platform for connecting to data and building reports. Users can access the service through a web-based portal that provides the tools necessary to retrieve, transform and present business data. For example, the following figure shows the portal with the Human Resources Sample dashboard selected. The dashboard includes several visualizations that are part of the Human Resources Sample report. (Microsoft provides several sample datasets, reports, and dashboards for learning about Power BI.)

    

 The data for the report comes from the AdventureWorks2017 sample database, running on a local instance of SQL Server 2017. However, you can define datasets based on data from a variety sources, including files such as Excel, CSV, XML, and JSON; databases such as Oracle, Access, DB2, and MySQL; and online services such as Azure, Salesforce Reports, Google Analytics, and Facebook.

PowerBI Desktop also provides generic connectors for accessing data not availablethrough the predefined connectors. For example, you can use an interface typesuch as ODBC, OLE DB, OData, or REST to connect to a data source, or you canrun an R script and create a dataset based on the results.

Where Power BI Desktop really shines, when compared to the Power BI service, are in the features available in the Query Editor to shape and combine data, some of which are shown in the following figure. In this case, the Sales.vSalesPerson dataset is open, which is based on a view in the AdventureWorks2017 database with the same name
