Power BI can help in interpreting and making decisions from data.

To install Power BI, search for it in the Microsoft Store.

Different versions of Power BI include Power BI (for viewing), Power BI Desktop (for full modeling), and Report Builder (limited functionality).

The tutorial will use Power BI Desktop for data modeling and report creation.

Data can be imported via the 'Get Data' feature in Power BI.

An Excel workbook is used as the data source in this example.

The Navigator allows selection of specific tables to import from the Excel workbook.

Users can choose to load data as-is or transform it before importing.

Power Query Editor facilitates data modification without altering the original data source.

Users can replace inconsistent data entries, such as standardizing country names.

Unnecessary columns can be removed for cleaner datasets.

Power BI can automatically detect relationships between tables, such as customer IDs.

Users can manually establish relationships if necessary via drag-and-drop actions.

Visualizations can be created using various chart types, such as line charts for tracking metrics over time.

Users can customize the display and formatting of visuals within the reports.

Interactions between visuals allow for filtering data based on user selections.

Published reports can be shared with others via the Power BI web service.

Options for sharing include generating links, embedding in other platforms, or exporting to formats like PowerPoint and PDF.

Interactivity and real-time data capabilities enhance shared reports.
