Power BI

Microsoft business intelligence simplifies how organizations extract insights from data. These insights empower organizations to make decisions based on facts – not opinions. Microsoft continues to focus on three main areas:

  1. Amazing data experiences
  2. Modern enterprise BI
  3. Integrations where teams work

New Quick Create Experience allows new users to get started in Power BI by providing a guided experience. Many new users don’t have access to an analyst or experienced Power BI user. The new quick create feature allows new users to connect data, author content, or create reports, dashboards, or apps without being a Power BI expert. This feature is currently in preview and will be released for general availability in June 2021. To learn more about creating reports in the Power BI service visit the Microsoft Power BI Blog.
