What is Power BI?
Power BI amplifies your insights and the value of your data. With Power BI documentation, you get expert information and answers to address your needs, no matter how you use Power BI. It turns your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights.
Your data might be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.
