Basic Concepts For Power BI Service Consumer

• Hey guys, today Im going to discuss the Concepts
  of Power BI Service Consumer. Before discussing
  it, we should know that what is a report, what is
  Power BI services. This is my 10th article on
  Power BI. You can read my previous articles to
  know about the Power BI in deep. Power BI
  provides you to create reports and dashboard.
  Microsoft provides the easiest way to generate
  the meaning from the garbage like data. Almost
  all big companies are using Power BI to generate
  or create some meaning from the raw data. Power
  BI reports are created in Power BI Desktop
  version and consumers are using Power BI service
  which is a web portal for accessing the content
  of it like reports and dashboards.

Now-a-days every company has a large amount of
data that is of no use but Power BI provides you
the power to create or generate some meaningful
data. These reports are very useful for
predicting the future of the company. Consumers
are those persons who can only get the report and
dashboard through Power BI service only. Im not
going to describe the things like what is Power
BI report and what is the dashboard. Below are
the terminology and concepts that we use in Power
BI.

What you see when you open Power BI Service first
Time?

• Not everybody is aware of the Power BI. But those
  people are aware of it whose company buys a
  license of it. You can open the link as Im
  mentioning here app.powerbi.com to open the Power
  BI Experts. When you click on the above link you
  can see the page as shown below. The above view
  is only visible when you open the power BI
  service first time. You can easily customize or
  personalize the Power BI service. In some cases,
  people want to see the home page of Power BI
  service but others want to see their favorite
  reports or dashboard. So, you can adjust the home
  screen of your Power BI service.

content as a featured dashboard. Well discuss
about it later on that how to do this.

Power BI content

• There are five main building blocks in Power BI
  service for creating reports and dashboards.
  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.

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 dont 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 Consultant 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.
10
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
  provides 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.

11
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.

12
Dashboard

• A dashboard is a combination of reports. One
  dashboard can contain multiple visuals and these
  visuals can be made from multiple sources.

13
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.
  Below is the picture of the same.

concept of the Power BI service consumer. I have
discussed visualization, report, data set,
dashboard, and app. If you want to learn more
