Abstract
In the first chapter, you created the Microsoft 365 environment to begin your journey through the collaboration apps. An important piece of Microsoft’s “Power Platform” is Power BI. Power BI is Microsoft’s data visualization software. Power BI is a lot more than the graphs and charts that you can make in Excel. The charts and graphs are not static, but reactive. When you click an element, the rest of the report will change to reveal information specific to where you clicked. Your data can also be drilled down into more specific information or related information to what is currently being displayed. It is more than just that a single graph or dataset, but how multiple sets of data are related to one another. In this way, you are able to explore your data in a way you never could with static charts.
