Study Notes
Power BI as a Database Tool
- Power BI has two solutions: Desktop and Service
- Power BI Desktop: installed on a computer; license-free for personal use; used for creating reports and dashboards; includes Power Query for cleaning and transforming data from various sources (like Excel, SQL); creates relationships between tables; allows for interactive dashboards; primarily used by developers and designers.
- Power BI Service: a cloud-based platform for sharing and collaborating on reports; offers real-time data updates for team members; less functionality than Desktop as it's primarily for business users, who can visualize and collaborate on reports created by developers.
Comparison of Power BI and Traditional SQL Databases
- Power BI primarily focuses on data analysis and visualization, not data storage
- It's used to explore and link data from existing databases, not as a primary storage tool.
Using AI in Power BI
- Power BI uses low-code platform Power Apps for creating custom applications connected to databases such as SQL or Excel
- Power Apps allows for drag-and-drop interface creation; AI tools can quickly generate tables, forms, and necessary business logic
- AI improves productivity and usability for non-technical users.
