These are as follows: data set, visualization, report, dashboard and app. Other than that all the content are stored in the workspace. In the process of creation of reports first, we need to import the data set then we apply visualizations to the page to create the report or dashboard. Apps are for connecting third-party data source like Git- hub etc. Below is the flow diagram for creating a report in Power BI. Now we are going to describe the above content in deep here.

  4. Data sets Data set is like a tank of water that stores water. In our scenario data set is a container for data that we use for creating reports and dashboard. We can take data set from any data source like Excel, text files and also we can connect the Power BI directly to the server to get the data. For example, we connect the SQL server to get the data set also we have many sources like the database, Git-hub etc. But as a consumer, we really don’t interact with the data set directly but we can interact with the data set through visuals like graphs and charts. We can see the data set in Power BI service as shown in below picture. Steps to get the data set: 1. First, select the workspace 2. Open the report 3. Then select the data set option as in the above picture We can use one data set for many reports or dashboard. Visualization Visualization is the next after getting the data set. visualization simply means to visualize the data in the form of charts or graphs. Power BI Consulting lots of visuals for creating reports and dashboard. It is easier to understand data charts or graphs rather than data in tabular form. Some of the visuals available in Power BI are waterfall, line chart, bar chart, stacked bar chart, pie chart, time series, tree-map, cards etc. Below are the pictures of the same.

  5. Above picture contains many visuals which we can use while creating a report. One visual can be used in many reports and dashboards. Reports Reports are the way to show the data in the form of visuals and table. Reports are basically summary of all data. Also, we can predict the future based on that report. The report contains one or more pages. Below is the picture of a sample report. Dashboard A dashboard is a combination of reports. One dashboard can contain multiple visuals and these visuals can be made from multiple sources.

  6. Apps This contains the collection of dashboard or reports that can be shared with other people or organization. This also contains the workspace created by other users which is shared with me.
