Power BI Tutorials [Beginners + Advanced]

If you want to start your career in data analytics, check out our Power BI tutorials. All these Power BI beginner to advanced tutorials will help you grow your data visualization and analytics skills.

I have created all these Power BI beginner tutorials with simple step-by-step instructions, which will be easy to read and understand. For advanced users, I have added a lot of advanced topics like DAX formulas, data modeling, interactive dashboards, etc.

Microsoft Power BI is an interactive data visualization software product developed by Microsoft with a primary focus on business intelligence (BI). It is part of the Microsoft Power Platform and allows users to create dashboards, reports, and visualizations to make sense of their data. Power BI provides a suite of tools that enable users to connect to a wide variety of data sources, transform and clean the data, and create a data model for analysis.

Power BI is available in several different forms:

  1. Power BI Desktop: This is a free application that you can install on your local computer. It allows you to connect to data, transform it, and build reports, which you can then publish to the Power BI service.
  2. Power BI Service: This is an online SaaS (Software as a Service) service where you can publish your Power BI reports and dashboards, creating a shared workspace for collaboration and insights sharing.
  3. Power BI Mobile Apps: These apps are available for Windows, iOS, and Android devices, allowing you to access and interact with your Power BI dashboards and reports on the go.
  4. Power BI Pro: This is a subscription service that offers additional features over the free Power BI service, such as increased data capacity, more frequent data refresh, and more extensive sharing and collaboration features.
  5. Power BI Premium: This is an enterprise-level service that provides more extensive capabilities in terms of performance, governance, and scalability. It is designed for large organizations that require a dedicated cloud infrastructure for their BI needs.

The core capabilities of Power BI include:

  • Data connectivity: Power BI can connect to a wide range of data sources, including files, databases, and cloud services.
  • Data transformation and modeling: With Power BI, you can transform raw data into a meaningful structure and create relationships between different data sets.
  • Visualization: Power BI provides a rich set of visualizations that can help you create compelling reports and interactive dashboards.
  • Collaboration: Power BI’s integration with other Microsoft products, like Teams and SharePoint, facilitates collaboration within teams and organizations.
  • Customization: Developers can customize Power BI by creating custom visuals and integrating with other applications using Power BI APIs.

Power BI is widely used for its ability to bring disparate data sets into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights, which are easily shareable across organizations.
