Power BI introduction
Build interactive reports with Power BI.
📖 Key ideas
- Power BI Desktop builds reports; Power BI Service shares them.
- Workflow: get data → transform (Power Query) → model → visualise → publish.
- Reports have pages of visuals: cards, bars, lines, maps, tables.
- Interactivity: cross-filtering, slicers, drill-down.
- Free Desktop; sharing typically needs Pro licences.
💡 Real-life example: Power BI is a live dashboard board where clicking one chart filters all the others.
