What is Microsoft Power BI?
Microsoft Power BI is a Business Intelligence (BI) platform that provides non-technical business users with tools to aggregate, analyze, visualize and share data.
Power BI’s user interface is intuitive enough for users familiar with Excel , and its deep integration with other Microsoft products makes it a versatile self-service tool that requires little initial training.
Power BI offers enhanced data visualization.
