Introduction to Power BI
"Business Intelligence" is a widely used term that can different things to different people.
However, BI generally refers to the practice of monitoring business health and performance.
People who perform BI roles in an organization have the job of gathering insights into health of
business processes and helping the organization take corrective actions in a timely fashion.
Many BI projects share a common set of chores. There include importing and integrate data from
multiple sources and performing data transformation and complex calculations on that data.
Once the data has been imported and transformed, there is then the need to analyze large data
sets with rapid query response and to create insightful reports and visualizations for business
executives and managers. And most importantly, a BI project must provide insights that can be
used to take action. If a BI project does not produce insights that are actionable, it lacks real
business value.
