Power BI stands as a remarkable resource for creating insights, empowering users to make informed decisions. It consolidates extensive data from diverse sources, transforming them into interactive dashboards, reports and visualisations (charts, maps, etc.). It offers data modelling capabilities including data preparation and data discovery. Power BI's user interface is fairly intuitive for users familiar with Excel, and its deep integration with other Microsoft products makes it a versatile self-service tool that requires little upfront training.
