What is Microsoft Power BI?
Microsoft Power BI is a data visualization tool used to analyze data, create interactive reports and dashboards, and gain insights that will help you make decisions for your business.
Note: When you purchase Power BI in the Email & Office Dashboard, you'll get Power BI Pro. Compare Power BI plans from Microsoft.
It integrates with a variety of data sources — like Excel, SQL databases and cloud services — so you can bring all your data together. This will help you govern and protect your data, and ensure you’re meeting any governance, security and compliance requirements.
Once your data is in Power BI, it’ll update in real time, giving you a look at the performance of your business operations, customer behavior and market trends. It works with the other Office apps, like Teams, PowerPoint and Excel, so you can embed and share insights and reports with your team.
