What is Power BI?

Power BI is Microsoft’s business intelligence platform which allows users to connect to and model data, create reports, and securely distribute those reports across their entire organization. Power BI can connect to hundreds of data sources, such as delimited text files, Excel, SQL Server, SharePoint, Azure (e.g., Databricks, ADLS Gen2, and Synapse), Salesforce, Google Analytics, Fabric, and more.

Data modeling is handled through the Power Query editor which uses a language called “M” to transform, clean up, and combine data into a dataset. Once created, the dataset is a single source of truth that can support multiple reports or be shared directly with power users who will do their data exploration.

Report creation involves several factors, from choosing the right types of visuals and formatting to writing measures that show the right kind of analysis for your data.


The Power BI service
is a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform where reports and data are published, refreshed, and shared with end users in apps and workspaces. A successful Power BI implementation includes planning for which users have access to what data and how they can use that data.

How We Can Help You Maximize Power BI

Licensing

There are several types of Power BI licenses, such as Pro, Premium, and Premium Per User. Each have different levels of data storage, processing power, and unique features.

Data Modeling

Data modeling is the process of transforming and organizing data efficiently so it can be used to create accurate and complete reports, whether it is done inside of Power BI or inside of a data warehouse before connecting to Power BI. Our company can use your existing data models or work with you to create new data models to support your reporting and analysis needs.
 

Creating Reports

Key2 can work with you on gathering requirements, converting and/or enhancing existing reports, and developing new reports to meet your business needs. We use an iterative process that involves frequent user reviews to ensure that the end product is what users expect.
 

Sharing Reports and Security

A workspace inside of the Power BI service allows for different user roles, such as Viewer, Contributor, Member, and Admin. In addition to workspaces, a Power BI App is a read-only view of the data that can be configured for different audiences. Along with the web-based interface, the Power BI API is a powerful tool that allows programmatic interaction with the Power BI service. With all these options and tools, Key2 can recommend ways to get your users the data they need in a timely fashion.
 

Training Users

As part of a Power BI implementation or as a stand-alone exercise, Key2 can provide training and create documentation to help your users become more self-sufficient when working with Power BI.
