Microsoft Power BI is a data analytics and visualization tool powerful enough for the most demanding data scientists, but accessible enough for everyday use for anyone who needs to get more from data. The market has many books designed to train and equip professional data analysts to use Power BI, but few of them make this tool accessible to anyone who wants to get up to speed on their own.

Microsoft’s Power BI platform gives users a tool to aggregate incredibly large amounts of data to discover insights that can give you just as much, if not more, information than those around you. Whether you are using it for personal reasons or as an organization looking to get a competitive edge in the marketplace by making data more meaningful within your company, there has never been a lower-cost entry to data processing with the ease of use of Power BI Desktop.

Microsoft has spent years working with companies all over the world on a technology for complicated data analytics. Power BI is built on that technology, and Microsoft is literally putting all that know-how into your hands. Data is the great equalizer. It’s not just about having more or less of it. It’s about using the data you do have effectively.

Organizations all over the world collect more data than you and I could ever comprehend in a lifetime, and yet they do nothing with it because they have no idea how to use it, and they find themselves losing market share to smaller competitors who are using the data they have effectively. Nonprofits are using Power BI to do data analysis that makes the world a better place to live, on issues from conservation to climate change to healthcare access. Citizen data analysts are using publicly available datasets to uncover financial misbehavior and to double-check results from data provided by organizations and governments around the world. If the ability to process and make data meaningful is truly the great equalizer of the information age, then Power BI is a tool that gives you the ability to sit at a table and look giants in the eye.
