Power BI is a data analytics and visualisation tool developed by Microsoft and part of the Microsoft Power app family.
PBI is able to load and process data from multiple sources like text, Excel, SQL, web, SAP, Azure and many more.
During the ELT-process (Extract - Load - Transform) the data are uploaded, cleaned, transformed and analysed and finally turned into stunning visualizations.
Power BI is a Self-Service Business Intelligence tool that allows business users to perform data analytics and visualisations almost without coding. This opens new insights in corporate data and provides information for management and decision makers with an extremely powerful tool.
I am on my journey for Business Analytics and completely fascinated of the possibilities. Feel free to browse through my sample visualisations. More are about to come. If you have questions about business analytics, the posted reports or Power BI feel free to contact me.

Your first time using Power BI
Power BI reports are very dynamic and responsive. The reports are created to give the user additional insights when they hover over a datapoint (tool-tip) or drill into more details by a click on a graph item. Slicer or filters are created to filter the related data on the report. Feel free to click around, you will notice, how the information changes according to your selection.
​
If you get stuck, you can either click on one selected element again or clear the filters by clicking on the eraser icon in the selection bar.
It is recommended to open the report in full screen mode for best user experience.

Please note:
Because I am using sample data some figures might appear inconsistent comparing to real world data.
