Study Notes
Power BI as a Database Tool
- Power BI has two solutions: Desktop and Service
-
Power BI Desktop:
- Installed locally, license-free for personal use
- Used for creating reports and dashboards
- Includes Power Query for cleaning and transforming data from various sources (Excel, SQL)
- Allows creating relationships between tables, similar to relational databases
- Enables interactive dashboards for visualizing data
- Primarily used by developers and designers
-
Power BI Service:
- Cloud-based platform for sharing and collaborating
- Facilitates real-time data updates and sharing with team members
- Offers less functionality compared to Desktop, aimed at business users for visualization and collaboration on reports created by developers.
Comparison with Traditional SQL Databases
- Power BI focuses on analysis and visualization, not data storage.
- Used to explore and connect data from databases, not as the primary storage tool.
Using AI in Power Apps to Create Databases and Apps
- Power Apps is a low-code platform for creating custom applications connecting to databases (e.g., SQL, Excel)
- Drag-and-drop interface for application creation
- AI tools (like Copilot) assist in quickly generating tables, forms, and business logic
- Enhances productivity and accessibility for non-technical users.
Steps to Build an App in 10 Minutes
- Step 1: Generate data using AI to define database structure (e.g., customers, rentals)
- Step 2: Create an interface with automatically generated forms and screens based on the database
- Step 3: Integrate AI-driven functionality (automated responses or workflows)
