Power BI is a cloud-based suite of business analytics tools that lets anyone connect to, visualize, and analyze data with greater speed, efficiency, and understanding. It connects users to a broad range of live data through easy-to-use dashboards, provides AI-infused automated insights, embedded and interactive reports, and delivers compelling visualizations that bring data big and small to life. Power BI is also available as part of Microsoft Fabric, an end-to-end data platform.
Power BI is currently available as part of the Office 365 Enterprise E5 version or as part of the Microsoft Fabric F-SKU. To learn more, visit Power BI.
