Study Notes
Power BI as a Database Tool
- Power BI has two solutions: Desktop and Service
-
Power BI Desktop:
- Installed on a computer, free license for personal use
- Creates reports and dashboards
- Uses Power Query for cleaning and transforming data from sources like Excel and SQL
- Creates relationships between tables, similar to relational databases
- Visualizes data with interactive dashboards
- Designed for developers and designers
-
Power BI Service:
- Cloud-based platform for sharing and collaborating on reports
- Offers real-time data updates and sharing with team members
- Provides fewer features than Power BI Desktop; intended for business users collaborating on reports built by developers
Comparison with Traditional SQL Databases
- Power BI focuses on analysis and visualization, not data storage
- Used to explore and connect data, not a primary 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 (e.g., SQL or Excel)
- Drag-and-drop interface creation
- AI tools (e.g., Copilot) assist in generating tables, forms, and business logic
- Improves productivity and accessibility for non-technical users
Steps to Build an App in 10 Minutes
- Step 1: Generate Data: AI defines database structure (e.g., customers, rentals)
- Step 2: Create an Interface: Automatically generates forms and screens based on the database
- Step 3: Integrate Logic: Adds AI-driven functionality (e.g., automated responses, workflows)
