    Hi SajidAliAzam ,

     

    Here I will give you some suggestions, and you can follow the step to learn the workflow of Power BI Desktop.

    As a beginner, you firstly need to know what is Power BI. 

    Power BI has two parts: Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service. For reference: What is Power BI?

     

    Power BI Desktop:

    Power BI Desktop is a free application you install on your local computer that lets you connect to, transform, and visualize your data. With Power BI Desktop, you can connect to multiple different sources of data, and combine them (often called modeling) into a data model. This data model lets you build visuals, and collections of visuals you can share as reports, with other people inside your organization. Most users who work on business intelligence projects use Power BI Desktop to create reports, and then use the Power BI service to share their reports with others.

     

    Workflow:

    Get Data> Transform Data> Create Data Model > Create Report > Publish to Power BI Service.

     

    Best Regards,
    Rico Zhou
