A data tool for everyone
Microsoft Power BI is for everyone. No matter your role, it will provide you with the easy on the eye, intuitive, engaging and architected dashboards that will take you through an incredible data journey. Yours.
Extensive Data Connector Library
No database? No problem. With a wide-ranging selection of native data connector options, Power BI is designed to quickly get you connected to the data you need without the need for a middle layer, so you’re able to start visualising data at a fraction of the time and cost.
Built With The “Citizen Developer” In Mind
The vast majority of the core functions in Power BI, from Power Query to visualisations, are designed around simple point-and-click interfaces to carry out complex operations. This in turn means that you can ingest, prepare, and visualise your own data, with no coding knowledge required.
Simple Yet Powerful Exploration
With a single click of the canvas, your end-users can delve as deep into the story your data tells as they like. Slicers allow an easy way to filter by date or category. Via cross report filtering, they can click on a visual data point of interest, and all other visual elements respond to and are filtered by that selection.
Community-Driven Innovation
The Power BI desktop application is updated on a monthly basis (as are many related tools within the Power BI/Fabric ecosystem), the bulk of which are quality-of-life improvements suggested by you, the end-user. As a Power BI user, you are part of a vast community whose members form not only a network of support and knowledge-sharing, but also a force for change via the Ideas platform.
