Hi @Rohitfirst ,

Power BI is primarily a visualization tool provided by Microsoft which can be used for creating multiple visuals, charts and graphical representation of data from multiple data sources to drive business insights helping business users to make business decision.

 

And you check the official site as mentioned by @NandanHegde . Microsoft Power BI desktop can be downloaded free from official site and can be practised.

 

Thanks,

Pallavi

Hi @Rohitfirst, Power BI is an integral part of Microsoft Fabric and mainly used for the data visualisation purpose, but it doesn't limit to visualisation only, we can also import data into power BI from 180+ sources, Power BI also has built in Power query editor which is used for data cleaning and transformation. Other than that we can also perform data modelling within power BI and perform various types of calculations.
