Create Reports

Reports can be created from scratch within Power BI, can be imported with shared dashboards, or can be created when you connect to datasets from Excel, Power BI Desktop, databases, SaaS applications and content packs.

Share Your Dashboard

Share your dashboards with colleagues or create a dashboard in a group and share it with others outside the group. Create and publish a content pack to your whole organization or to a security/ distribution list.

Connect to Services Content

You can connect to content packs for services such as Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Google Analytics and more. Power BI creates dashboards and reports that automatically fetch and show services data with visual insights.

Connect to OneDrive for Business

When you have a group created in Power BI Pro, you can continue updating the files in your OneDrive for Business, and the updates are automatically reflected in the reports and dashboards based on those files.

Put Up Dashboards

Your dashboards can contain one or more tiles. Each tile displays a single visualization that was created from the data in one of the underlying dataset(s). One dashboard can display visualizations from many different datasets.

Q&A Question Box

Explore your data by asking a question and letting Power BI Q&A give you an answer, in the form of a visualization. Q&A cannot be used to add content to a report; it can only add content in the form of tiles to dashboards.

Creating a Group

Groups in Power BI Pro bring together people and information, and connect with Office 365 apps for enhanced collaboration. Create a group in Power BI, or in Office 365 and it will have the same characteristics.

Using Data from Many Files

How does Power BI Desktop work?

Power BI Desktop works as a free desktop application that gets installed on your PC or laptop. Power BI Desktop helps you create interactive visualizations to explore, shape and model the data. It also generates intuitive reports which can be saved, published and shared on the Power BI site.

What do I need to use Power BI Desktop?

You will just need a browser and work email to use the Power BI services. Power BI does not accept email addresses offered by consumer email services or telecommunications providers, as well as those ending with .gov.

Is Power BI available on-premises?

No, Power BI is not available as an on-premises version. However, both Power BI and Power BI Desktop are capable of securely connecting to your on-premises data. The Power BI Analysis Services Connector allows you to establish a live connection to your on-premises SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular models. When you use the Power BI Personal Gateway, you can even connect to other on-premises data sources and refresh data.

How are content packs used in the context of BI?

Content packs are readymade solutions from popular services such as Salesforce.com, Adobe Analytics, and QuickBooks Online etc. that form a part of the Power BI advantage. If you are a subscriber of such services, you can connect to your account through Power BI, tap into the data contained in them, and use the dashboards and reports created specifically for those services. Besides these, you also have organizational packs that feature tools to build custom content packs for any organization, with its own set of datasets, dashboards, and reports that can be generated using Power BI.
