The following are the Building Blocks (or) key components of Power BI:
* Visualizations : Visualization is a visual representation of data.

* Datasets : Dataset is a collection of data that Power BI uses to create its visualizations.

* Dashboards : Dashboard is single layer presentation of multiple visualizations, i.e we can integrate one or more visualizations into one page layer.
