Types of Power BI tools

Now in this Power BI desktop tutorial, we will learn about types of Power BI tools.

Some Important Power BI tools are:

Power BI Desktop
Power BI desktop is the primary authoring and publishing tool for Power BI.
Developers and power users use it to create brand new models and reports from
scratch.

Costs: Free
Power BI service
Online Software as a Service (SaaS) where Powe Bl data models, reports,
dashboards are hosted. Administration, sharing, collaboration happens in the
cloud.

Pro license: $10/users/month

Power BI Data Gateway

Power BI Data Gateway works as the bridge between the Power Bl Service and on-
premise data sources like DirectQuery, Import, Live Query. It is Installed by Bl
Admin.

Power BI Report Server

It can host paginated reports, KPIs, mobile reports, & Power Bl Desktop reports. It
is updated every 4 months and installed/managed by the IT team. The users can
modify Power Bl reports other reports created by the development team.

Power BI Mobile Apps

Power BI mobile app is available for iOS, Android, Windows. It can be managed
using Microsoft Intune. You can use this tool to view reports and dashboards on the
Power Bl Service Report Server.

Data sources for the Power BI

Data source Description

Excel (.xlsx, xlxm) A workbook can have data entered manually or data, which is queried and loaded from
external data sources.

Comma Separated Files are simple text files with rows of data. Every row can contain one or more value
Value (.csv) which is separated by a comma.
Power BI Desktop You can use Power BI Desktop to query and load data from external data sources.
(.pbi)

Databases in the Cloud It allows you to connect live to Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Data Warehouse,
etc.

Databases on-premises You can connect directly to SQL Server Analysis Services Relational model database
A Power BI Enterprise Gateway is required.

Key terms used in Power BI

Term Description

Visualization A visual display of information to achieve one or more objective. It offers a single-screen displa
of information. It alerts users on issues or problems Operational, Performance, Personal, etc.

Datasets A dataset is something which you import or connect to. Datasets can be renamed, refreshed,
 removes, and explored.

Dashboard The dashboard is a collection which contains zero or more tiles and widgets. It is used to
represent a customized view of some subset of the underlying datasets.

Reports A Power BI report is one or multiple pages of visualizations. It can be created from scratch,
imported to a dashboard, and created using datasets.

Tile It a single visualization found in a report or on a rectangular dashboard box which contains each
visual.

History of Power BI
 Power BI was conceptualized by Ruler and Dhers Netz of the SQL server
coverage services team at Microsoft.
 It was designed by West Chadic George in the year 2010 and named as a
Project Crescent.
 In 2011, It was bundled with SQL Server Codenamed Mount McKinley.
 Microsoft unveiled the first preview to Power BI in September 2014.
 The first version of Power BI released on 24 July 2015. It was based on Excel
Based Add-ins like Power Query, Pivot, view, and Map.

Architecture of Power BI
 Architecture of Power BI

Data Integration:
An organization needs to work with data which comes from different sources which
can be in various file formats. The data should be extracted from a different source
which can be from different servers or databases. This data is integrated into one
standard format in a common staging area.

Data Processing:
In this stage, the integrated data is still not prepared for visualization as the data
needs processing. This data is pre-processed. For example, redundant values,
missing values will be removed from the data set.

The business rule should be applied to the data when the data is cleaned. You can
load that data back to Data Warehouse.

Data Presentation
Once the data is loaded and processed, it can be visualized much better with use of
various visualization that Power Bi has to offer. Use of dashboard and report helps
one represent data more intuitively. This visual report helps business end users to
take business decision based on the insights.
Install and run Power BI Desktop

Step 2) You will be redirected to a Microsoft store and select Get button.

Step 3) Click on the Install button.

Step 4) You can see progress status on the screen.

Step 5) Before welcome screen you will ask to register to enter.

Step 6) When you run Power BI Desktop, a Welcome screen is displayed.
Power BI Dashboard
Below figure demonstrates the Power BI Dashboard:
Power Bl Desktop is an enlargement tool used to generate dashboards and reports.
Power Bl applications will be accessed by other users through desktop and mobile
devices.

There are Power BI components are 5 main components released in the market.

 Power Query: It can be used to search, access, and transform public and/ or
internal data sources.
 Power Pivot: It is used for data modeling for in-memory analytics.
 Power View: This component allows you to visualize, analyze, and display
data.
 Power Map: It brings data to life with interactive geographical visualization.
 Power BI Service: It allows you to share data views and workbooks, which
you can refresh from on-premises and cloud-based data sources.
 Power BI Q&A: It allows you to ask questions and get immediate answers
using a natural language query.
 Data Management Gateway: It offers periodic data refreshers, view data
feeds, expose tables.
 Data Catalog: This component allows the user to discover and reuse queries
using the Data Catalog. Metadata can be facilitated for search functionality.

What is Dax Function?

DAX is a formula expression language which is called (DAX) which can be used with
various visualization tools like Power BI. It is also known as a functional language,
where the full code is kept inside a function. DAX programming formulas contain
two data types: Numeric and Other.

Each is linked to the other by having common columns. Here is a simple diagram of
Power BI Dashboard Example showing the relationships.
There are 3 things in Power BI where you can use

DAX –

 Calculated Columns
 Measures
 Tables

Let's see all these Power BI examples and see how DAX functions works.

Calculated Columns
Calculated column allows you to create new columns based on the given data.
For example, there is no ' Final price' column available in the Items table. Here, the
DAX function is used to calculate a new column when only total price & quantity
are available.
Price = List_Items[MRP]*List_Items[Qty]

In the data shown in above Power BI example, each row will now have the
respective calculated price.

Measures
You can perform a calculation using measure without the need to add any data as
shown in the below Power BI example. This is very helpful for reports where the
price can be displayed, without requiring an entirely new column to store it.

Example:

1] Total of the MRP column * Total of Qty column

Tables
DAX functions in tabular model return entire tables. For example, In order to
generate a list of all the country the organization has clients in, use the
function: cities touched = DISTINCT(Customers[City])

A word on Filters
Filters hide rows that don't fit given criteria. A calculation after filtering out data
will be applicable only on a row which matches those criteria.

Power BI DAX Functions

Some Important DAX functions are:

Average
This DAX function allows you to find the average from a given set of values as
shown in the below Power BI example.

Example - AvgComm = AVERAGE(List_Items[Price])

Max
Helps you to find the maximum from a given set of values.

Example – Find out the highest order. HighSale = MAX(List_Items[Price])

Min
Helps you to find the minimum set of values.

Example – Allows you to find out the lowest order. LowestSale =

MIN(List_Items[Price])

Count
Count any umerical data.

Example – Count number of ticket issued. TicketVolume = COUNT(Invoices[Ticket])

Concatenate
This function helps you to join values in calculated columns. You can use
ConcatenateX if using in measures.

Example – Concatenate the Item names, and MRPs will give a unique code for all
the price points at which each product is sold. ProMrp =
CONCATENATE(List_Items[Item],List_Items[MRP])

TotalYTD
The function allows you to calculate the sum from the start of the current Year to
the specified date. It performs calculate base on a calendar year, not a financial
year.

Example – Calculate Sales totals for the price column. CumiSales =

TOTALYTD(SUM(List_Items[Price]),Invoices[Date])

All
Returns everything. Ignores filters.
Example – Used with the calculate function above.
