About Power BI

Business analytics with Power BI

Power BI is a suite of business analytics tools from Microsoft, made so that organisations can examine their data systematically and then share what they learn. Its stored description lists reporting, data preparation and data visualisation as the three working parts.

From raw figures to shared insight

Data preparation comes first: information is cleaned and shaped so that it can be analysed. Reporting then turns that information into documents a business can read and act on, while visualisation tools present results as charts and dashboards. The sharing side matters as much as the analysis, since the aim is for findings to reach colleagues who need them rather than stay with one analyst.

TrustList summary

Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence suite. It helps organisations examine their data in a structured way and share what they find.

Features

  • Reporting: build reports from business data.
  • Data preparation: clean and shape data before analysis.
  • Data visualisation: charts and dashboards that show insights.
  • Sharing: pass findings to colleagues.

Who it serves

Businesses use it to analyse their figures and to examine information in a systematic way before passing the results on. The catalogue files it under embedded analytics software, and the stored text calls it a suite of tools rather than a single program.
