Microsoft Power BI is an online service where you can quickly create dashboards, share reports and connect directly to all your important data.

Power BI: why choose it
In PowerBI.com, you can view interactive dashboards created and updated from various data sources. You can create dashboards to keep track of all the most significant aspects for your business. Just like a car dashboard displays important information about the vehicle, including speed, fuel level, and engine health, the dashboard in Power BI displays important business information. Dashboards in Power BI are divided into sections, in which important informations about the business are represented. Sections are report based and you can select a section to get more information from the underlying report.
Power BI Designer
Power BI Designer provides a powerful and dedicated reporting tool that allows you to connect and combine data from multiple data sources using Power Query (simply called Query in Power BI Designer). You can then create advanced reports and visualizations in Power BI Designer (similar to Power View, but with many more visualizations added). Once you’re done, you can easily publish your results to PowerBI.com.
