| − | Power BI is an MS365 application that allows users to connect to and visualize any data using a scalable platform for self-service and enterprise business intelligence (BI). This platform is easy to use, is unified and helps you gain deeper data insight. Microsoft defines Power BI as a visual tool to bridge the gap between data and decision-making.<ref name=":0">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/</ref>

| − | ==Power BI at work ==
| |
| − | How you use Power BI may depend on your role in a project or on a team. For example, you might primarily use the Power BI service to view reports and dashboards. Your coworkers might make extensive use of Power BI Desktop or Power BI Report Builder to create reports, then publish those reports to the Power BI service, where you can view them. Another coworker, in procurement, might mainly use the Power BI phone app to monitor progress on sales quotas and to drill into new lead details. <ref name=":0" />

| − | ===1. Access to Volumes of Data from Multiple Sources===
| |
| − | Power BI can access big data from a variety of sources. It allows you to view, analyze, and visualize vast quantities of data that cannot be opened, or processed in Excel. Some of the important data sources available for Power BI are Excel, XLS, TXT, CSV, XML, JSON, pdf, etc. Power BI uses powerful compression algorithms to import and cache the data within the PBIX file.
