In our data-driven world, a staggering amount of information is collected about business and personal activities—so much information that analysis becomes a challenge for any organization. Creating data-driven visualizations is key for data scientists, or any professional, to explore, analyze, and report insights and trends from data. Microsoft® Power BI® software is designed for this purpose. Power BI was built to connect to a wide range of data sources, and it enables users to create rich visualizations of connected data. Power BI's data-connection capabilities and visualization features go far beyond those that can be found in spreadsheets, enabling users to create compelling and interactive worksheets, dashboards, and stories that bring data to life and turn data into thoughtful action.
