Microsoft Power BI

What it does

Power BI is Microsoft's business intelligence tool for connecting to data sources, modeling relationships, and publishing interactive reports and dashboards. It integrates tightly with Excel, SharePoint, Teams, and Azure/Fabric, using DAX for calculations. Reports can refresh on a schedule, be embedded in apps or Teams channels, and shared with other Pro-licensed users.
