Power BI is a powerful, low-cost tool that allows you to take
your data from virtually any source (Excel files, Salesforce,
SurveyMonkey, SQL server, SharePoint, etc.) and turn it into
meaningful visualizations

•Data ModelingEngine
•Data Reshaping Tool
•Data VisualizationToolkit
•InteractiveReporting Platform
Licensing
FREE $3/user/mo.*
*With Nonprofit Pricing. Standard pricing is $9.99/user/mo.
Why Do I Need Pro Licenses?

• Share your reports across the organization
• View reports shared with you
• Subscribe to reports to view them in your email
Power BI Basics
Power BI Desktop – primarily used for
complex data manipulation before the data is
visualized. Can also be used to create
interactive reports. Free download.
Power BI Service– website app with
live visualizations.
Currently, trial versions of Power BI Pro available
for free for 60-day trial within Office 365
After free trial, Pro license costs depend on your
O365 plan
Connect to your data
• Currently 114 native connectionsavailable
• Connect to all these data types and more –
• if your data lives in Excel, that works just great!

Tech Impact Annual Report - Power BI
• Created in Power BI
• Pulling data directly from data sources such as
Salesforce and Quickbooks
• Took the place of our annual report for 2016
▪ Which would have been out of date as soon as it was
printed (before we even put it in the mail)!

Communicate to Constituents
Getting Started –
Don’t worry about making it pretty
1. Downloadthe desktop application (Free!)
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
2. Watch the Tech Impact video on getting started: No Analyst Required
http://bit.ly/37XD5fL
3. Check out the short, guided learning videosfrom Microsoft
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/guided-learning/
4. Start with:
1. Quick Trends
2. Filter/Cross-Filter
3. Add Table Details
4. Data Validation
Tips and Tricks
• Use an Excel file for yourfirst report
Excel is an easy connector and the data table in Power BI looks similar to an Excel sheet. This
is a good transition into the platform
• Pick a dataset your familiarwith
Knowing what’s included in the data and being able to identify why certain visualizations
look the way they do will help in learning about slicers and settings
• Start in the desktop application
It’s easier to connect to and manipulate data
• Publish reports to the web
When getting started, publish to ‘My Workspace’ to access reports from anywhere
• Create Workspaces to share reports with other users
This requires a Pro license and makes it easier for everyone to organize and access reports
