Top benefits What is Power BI?
Before we jump into anything, it’s important to explain what Power BI is and how it can help you. Power BI is a data visualization tool. It provides cloud-based business intelligence (BI) services, as well as a desktop-based interface—both of which enable you to create your own reports and dashboards for custom visualizations. The Power BI service offers both free and paid license options. Paid options include Power BI Pro per user, Power BI Premium per user, and Power BI Premium per capacity. Power BI Desktop is always free.  If you’re familiar with reporting tools already, it’s important to note that this is nothing like SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Power BI offers a gorgeous user interface and is much easier to use. With just a few clicks, you can publish your dashboards and reports online and to any Microsoft 365 group.  Top benefits
Power BI Desktop is always free. Yes, there are pro and premium versions that allow users to present even more data, but you should be just fine with the free version for most of your reports.
There are close to 65 different data sources available that can be integrated into Power BI. From an SQL database to third-party tools like Salesforce, Google Analytics, and others.
No coding necessary. You can configure your data using simple operations—or use Simili-Excel operations for even more flexibility. These are called DAX basics operations.
Sharing dashboards has never been easier. Sharing options are easy to customize. You may want to share dashboards with one person or everyone in a Microsoft 365 group. You can even share your dashboards with guests. Plus, the online versions are all accessible through your Microsoft Services page.
