    Power BI Desktop allows individual users to ingest data from multiple sources, model and cleanse the data, and create interactive reports and dashboards for personal analysis. It is designed for individual use or development rather than sharing with groups. The user can access reports, data, and model views in Power BI Desktop to refine, visualize, and gain insights from their data. While similar features exist in Power BI Services, Desktop provides more robust tools for personal data exploration and report creation.

    the user can derive reports or dashboards for analysis.

    A typical usage of Power BI


    Desktop is

    »» Ingest data across one or more data sources.


    »» Model data to create reports and dashboards.
    »» Refine, cleanse, and visualize the data by way of analysis.
    »» Create reports for individual consumption.
    Though you can complete these activities online, the Desktop platform is
    purpose-built for individual user consumption or development work  — it isn’t
    intended for groups. Not until the user is ready to share the products created using
    Desktop do you need to expose anything to Power BI Services.

    The end user gains access to three distinct views in Power BI Desktop: Report,
    Data, and Model. Figure 4-1 shows you the left-side navigation to find these views
    in Power BI Desktop. Though these features are also available in Services, feature
    richness for personal analysis is significantly greater in Power BI Desktop.
