This video introduces and walks through the Power BI solution, a business analytics service by Microsoft that provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities through an easy-to-use interface. Power BI consists of key components like Power BI Service (a cloud-based service for publishing and sharing reports and dashboards, and creating new ones), Power BI Desktop (a free, locally installed application for connecting to, transforming, and visualizing data), and Power BI Report Server (an on-premises solution for hosting and managing Power BI and paginated reports). The video demonstrates the Power BI Service interface, including navigation, settings, creating reports from various sources (Excel, CSV, manual data entry, semantic models, lakehouses, and notebooks), exploring recommended content, and managing workspaces. It also covers the OneLake catalog, apps, metrics (creating goals and scorecards), real-time data connections, workloads, and the Power BI learning resources. The walkthrough of Power BI Desktop includes the home page, data pane, build pane, pane manager, format pane, filter pane, and the four main views: Report View, Table View (with table tools for creating measures, columns, and tables), Model View (for managing data models and relationships), and DAX query view. Finally, the video shows how to upload reports from Power BI Desktop to both the Power BI Service and the Power BI Report Server, highlighting the similarities between the Power BI Service edit mode and Power BI Desktop, and the on-premises reporting capabilities of the Report Server.
