    HelloEno1978

    Thank you for your reply :)  :) I still have other question, can you support me? Thanks!

     

    About Q2 : 

    Other than provisioning a Power BI license, Groups, and a few Office 365 admin perms - everything is in a stand alone application app.powerbi.com

    => SO,  Once I have Pro app (First step to buy)-

         Then I can connect and use a SQL database as a dataset on Power BI different app right?

         That means use Power BI to connent company's SQL data by gatway.

         (Basic : Azure SQL => improve to SQL server analysis services :D)

     

    Q3:Although Desktop can connect company's SQL, but didnt have(1) dashboard => need to publish to power BI

                                                                                                               (2)and didn't  refresh to get data auto.

          Right? So BI pro seems better.  

     

     

    Thanks a lot

Q1 - yes

Q2 - Check out this "Getting Started" link here it provides much of what you are most likely seeking. Other than provisioning a Power BI license, Groups, and a few Office 365 admin perms - everything is in a stand alone application app.powerbi.com.

Q3 - Once you have Pro - you can connect and use a SQL database as a dataset.

 

There are 2 main components to Power BI. The Desktop which you don't need any license for, and will work in connecting to your SQL database. And the Service (app.powerbi.com) - which you will need in order to create dashboards and share. This component requires the Pro license in order to share certain data.
