- 4 years ago
Hi LarsBischoff ,
1.Power Apps
Power Apps is a simple and intuitive platform that allows users to create user interfaces for mobile applications by dragging and dropping elements. Users can add text boxes, option fields and other controls to the user interface.There is a feature in Power Apps that allows users to connect to multiple data sources and once developed, users can simply publish the application for use across the business.
2.Power BI Desktop
Power BI Desktop is a free download from the Microsoft Store and can be installed on any Windows PC.Power BI is not yet available for any operating system other than Windows. Power BI allows users to connect to a variety of different data sources and extract relevant information into the Power BI data model. Once the data is located in Power BI, users can manipulate, adjust and change it to meet their reporting requirements. To gain insights, this processed data can be represented in the form of graphs and charts. These graphs can be used to support a variety of scenarios, including storytelling, what-if studies, forecasts, and other predictions.
Therefore based on different business scenarios, the response time of the same operation on two applications may also differ and other similar errors may occur.
