Power BI
Microsoft Power BI is an interactive data visualization software product developed by Microsoft with a primary focus on business intelligence. It is part of the Microsoft Power Platform. Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Data may be input by reading directly from a database, a webpage, or structured files such as spreadsheets, CSV, XML, and JSON. In addition, Power BI supports paginated reports for RDL, RDS, and RSD files.
