    Power BI
    Introduction

    Business Intelligence platform by Microsoft that includes software services,


    different applications along with connectivity features. It includes user friendly
    tools for collecting, analysing, visualizing and sharing of data.

    It can connect to myriad data sources (e.g. spreadsheets, offline and online (i.e.
    cloud based) data and databases) and provides visually intelligent reports and
    insights including BI dashboards.

    (Data dashboard includes representation of key indicators, multiple summary


    data along and their visualizations)

    Important features of Power BI

    Artificial Intelligence: image recognition, text analytics, machine learning

    Hybrid deployment: Connectivity with diverse data sources from other


    applications

    Quick Insights: Data drilling (various levels) and data mining for analysis

    Common data model support: Standardized data representation (entities,


    attributes and relationships)
    Vishal Mishra (IBS, Hyderabad)

    Power BI
    Customization: of visualisations and reporting tools

    APIs for integration: Facility for software developers to integrate Power BI with
    other software products

    Self-service data prep: Using query to convert and assimilate big data to power BI
    web service so that this data can be used across various models, reports and
    dashboards.

    Modelling view: Intelligent categorizing of disparate data for quick retrieval,


    representation and meaningful interpretation

    Components of Power BI
    Power BI is a collection of Apps which can be used either on a desktop or on a
    mobile or as a SaaS Product. Its components are used to create and share
    customized business insights in the form of reports/dashboards

    • Power Query: a data access and transformation tool


    • Power Pivot: a (memory efficient) modelling tool to create pivot tables, charts
    and visualizations
    • Power View: a data visualization tool
    • Power Map: a 3D geospatial data visualization tool
    • Power Q&A: A natural language question and answer engine (AI based
    applications to read and analyse large amount of natural/human language data)

    Architecture of Power BI

    Power BI Desktop − This is used to create reports and data visualizations on


    the dataset.
    Power BI Gateway – Power BI on-premises gateway can be used to keep the
    data up to date by connecting to multiple offline (not on cloud) data sources
    Power BI Mobile Apps – The Power BI mobile apps can be used to stay
    connected to their data from anywhere. These apps are available for Windows,
    iOS, and Android platform.
    Power BI Service − This is a cloud service and is used to show Power BI
    reports and data visualizations.

    DAX basics in Power BI

    DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is a formula expression language and can be


    used in different BI and visualization tools. DAX is also known as function
    language, where the full code is kept inside a function.

    DAX programming formula contains two data types: Numeric and Others.
    Numeric includes - integers, currency and decimals, while Other includes: string
    and binary object. DAX is also used in Excel for calculations.

    DAX Functions: In Power BI, you can use different function types to analyse
    data, and create new columns and measures. It includes functions from different
    categories such as − Aggregate; Text; Date; Logical; Counting; Information

    Aggregate Functions
    DAX has a number of aggregate functions.
    • MIN
    • MAX
    • Average
