Abstract
Power BI is a combination of some components. You will need to learn about these components and their role in the solution before any further steps. It is not possible to talk about architecture when you don’t yet know about Power Query or Power BI Service. Each component is playing an important part in the Power BI solution; it is essential to know them as the very first step. In this chapter you will learn what Power BI is and components of it such as Power BI Desktop, Power Query, DAX, Power BI Service, and Power BI Mobile App. You will also learn about Power BI Report Server, Gateway role in the solution, the API for developers, and how all these components work together.
