Study Notes
Power BI as a Database Tool
- Power BI has two solutions: Desktop and Service
- Power BI Desktop: Installed locally, free for personal use.
- Creates reports and dashboards.
- Includes Power Query for cleaning and transforming data from various sources (like Excel and SQL).
- Establishes relationships between tables (like relational databases).
- Enables interactive dashboards for data visualization.
- Targeted towards developers and designers.
- Power BI Service: Cloud-based platform for collaboration and sharing.
- Enables real-time data updates and team sharing.
- Offers less functionality than Desktop, primarily for business users.
- Users can view reports created by developers using Power BI Desktop.
Comparison with Traditional SQL Databases
- Power BI focuses on data analysis and visualization rather than data storage.
- Used to explore and connect to data from traditional databases, not as a primary storage tool.
Using AI in Power Apps
- Power Apps is a low-code platform for creating custom applications connected to databases (like SQL or Excel).
- Enables drag-and-drop interface creation.
- AI tools (like Copilot) assist in quickly generating tables, forms, and business logic.
- AI improves productivity and accessibility for non-technical users.
Steps to Build an App in 10 Minutes
- Step 1: Generate data. AI defines the database structure (e.g., customers, rentals).
- Step 2: Create an interface. AI automatically generates forms and screens based on the database.
- Step 3: Integrate logic. Add AI-driven functionality (e.g., automated responses, workflows).
