    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, for creating reports and dashboards
    • Includes Power Query for cleaning and transforming data from various sources (Excel, SQL), creating relationships between tables (similar to relational databases)
    • Generates interactive dashboards with visualizations
    • Intended for developers and designers
    • Power BI Service: cloud-based platform for sharing and collaboration, offers real-time data updates and team sharing
    • Less functionality than Desktop, primarily for business users to visualize data created by developers using Desktop

    Comparison of Power BI and Traditional SQL Databases

    • Power BI focuses on analysis and visualization, not data storage
    • Used to explore and connect data from databases, not as a primary data storage tool

    Using AI in Power Apps to create Databases and Apps

    • Power Apps is a low-code platform for creating custom applications connected to databases (like SQL or Excel)
    • Drag-and-drop interface for creating applications
    • AI tools (Copilot) aid in quickly generating tables, forms, and business logic
    • AI 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, automatically generating forms and screens based on the database
    • Step 3: Integrate logic, adding AI-driven functionality (automated responses or workflows)
