✅ 10 Essential Power BI Concepts 📊💡
1️⃣ Data Sources
Connect to Excel, SQL Server, Web, SharePoint, etc.
🔹Use: *Home → Get Data*
2️⃣ Power Query (Data Transformation)
Clean and reshape data using Power Query Editor
🔹Examples: remove columns, filter rows, split text, change data types
3️⃣ Data Model
Create relationships between tables (one-to-many, many-to-one)
🔹Tip: Use a *Star Schema* for better performance
4️⃣ DAX (Data Analysis Expressions)
Power BI's formula language for calculated columns/measures
🔹`DAX
Total Sales = SUM(Sales[Amount])
5️⃣ Measures vs Calculated Columns
- Measure: calculated on-the-fly (dynamic)
- Calculated Column: stored in the table (static)
6️⃣ Visualizations
Bar, pie, table, map, KPI, slicers, cards, etc.
🔹Drag fields into Values, Axis, Legend to customize
7️⃣ Slicers & Filters
Used for interactivity and drilldown
🔹Example: Add a slicer to filter by region or year
8️⃣ Dashboards vs Reports
- Report: Multiple pages, interactive visuals
- Dashboard: Pinned visuals from reports (view-only, shared)
9️⃣ Publishing & Sharing
Publish to Power BI Service (cloud), share reports or dashboards via links or workspaces
🔟 Row-Level Security (RLS)
Restrict data visibility based on user roles
🔹Example: Salesperson only sees their region’s data
