Welcome! Power BI is a Microsoft business intelligence (BI) tool that helps you turn data into useful insights for better business decisions. If you’re familiar with Excel, you may wonder what Power BI offers that Excel doesn’t. In simple terms, Power BI analyzes your data and turns it into interactive, shareable reports and visuals that help you identify trends, explore relationships, and make informed decisions. In this course, you’ll learn the basics of Power BI, starting with how to import and clean data, so you can ultimately work with it to explore relationships, create visuals and reports, and build dashboards to share and collaborate in Power BI Service.
