Power BI delivers powerful capabilities for self-service business intelligence (BI), giving organizations the ability to access, analyze, visualize, and share their data quickly and efficiently. By connecting directly to data sources and leveraging powerful natural language processing capabilities, Power BI enables users to unlock insights from their data without the need for manual coding. With its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface and robust AI algorithms, Power BI makes it simple for organizations of all sizes to create interactive dashboards that provide a comprehensive view of their business performance.

Power BI visual reports provide the capabilities to create visually enticing, data-driven reports with a wide range of customization options. There are two types of Power BI visual reports: standard and advanced.

Standard report types include graphical elements such as charts, tables, and maps. This type of report includes basic features such as filtering, sorting, and grouping data, as well as customizing the layout, color palette, font, and more.

Advanced report types include interactive visual elements such as slicers, analytics tools like KPI charts, and dashboards that enable users to explore their data in depth. Advanced Power BI visual reports provide detailed insights into trends within a dataset by providing powerful filtering capabilities and drill-down capabilities which allow users to explore the underlying data behind a chart or graph.
