Below are some extracts from our Power BI Reporting manual.
Much like the Power BI cloud service, Power BI Desktop provides businesses with a powerful analytics and data visualisation solution. It helps businesses understand large sets of data from data sources such as Excel spreadsheets and databases.
It can be used to calculate things such as your monthly sales profits and help you make smarter business decisions powered by data that your business collects. The data can be visualised into unique graphics that help you understand the data more easily, and these insights can be embedded in other apps and websites.
It supports hundreds of different data sources to ensure that your business doesn’t need to change its workflow to support Power BI Desktop. The software works in real-time to provide up-to-date analytics and insights for your business.
Power BI Desktop supports many more data sources
It supports different themes that can be personalised by the business
It supports shaping and modelling of data
It can be customised further using the Python programming language to generate unique visualisations
It cannot be shared as easily as the cloud-based Power BI service
Power BI Desktop enables anyone to create advanced graphical representations of analytics with familiar tools that are similar to Microsoft Excel
It doesn’t require technical knowledge and the interface is intuitive to use, meaning anyone can take advantage of its powerful tools
It features advanced tools that can give users more control once they’re more familiar with the software
Simple Integration With Existing Software
Power BI Desktop can grab data from hundreds of sources such as Excel, SharePoint, Azure SQL DB and Dynamics 365
Data is updated dynamically, meaning all of the integrations you create are automatically kept up to date
This provides your business with actionable insights even if you lead a dynamic business that changes its goals frequently
Power BI Desktop allows you to easily publish your reports so you can provide them to those that need it
You can create mobile-optimised reports at the push of a button so that the data is easy to understand and read regardless of the device
You can embed reports created in Power BI Desktop into websites and existing apps to make the data more accessible
