Power BI
Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive reports and dashboards. Your data may be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises systems and databases. Power BI lets you connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want. At the University of Waterloo we use Power BI to enable departments to handle their operational and analytical reporting. To learn more, read this Microsoft Power BI documentation.
