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)
