What are the major components of Power BI?
* Power Query (for data mash-up and transformation) : You can use this to extract data from various databases (like SQL Server, MySql, and many others ) and to delete a chunk of data from various sources.
* Power Pivot (for tabular data modeling) : It is a data modeling engine that uses a functional language called Data Analysis Expression (DAX) to perform the calculations. Also, creates a relationship between various tables to be viewed as pivot tables.
* Power View (for viewing data visualizations) : The view provides an interactive display of various data sources to extract metadata for proper data analysis.
* Power BI Desktop (a companion development tool) : Power Desktop is an aggregated tool of Power Query, Power View, and Power Pivot. Create advanced queries, models, and reports using the desktop tool.
* Power BI Mobile (for Android, iOS, Windows phones) : It gives an interactive display of the dashboards from the site onto these OS, effortlessly.
* Power Map (3D geo-spatial data visualization).
* Power Q&A (for natural language Q&A).
