Learn Power BI FAQs

What is the Microsoft Power BI service?

Microsoft Power BI is a business platform providing non-technical business users with tools for analyzing, visualizing, and sharing data with each other. The interface is fairly versatile due to its integration into other Microsoft products and requires only a small amount of training.

Is Power BI hard to learn?

Power BI is not hard to learn. It was designed to be user-friendly and is simple for new learners to get started with. Power BI also has many advanced features for the more experienced users; these may be more difficult to grasp without previous experience, but can be learned in time. DataCamp's course, an Introduction to Power BI, is a great way to get started on the right track.

How long does it take to learn Power BI?

6 hours to 6 weeks. DataCamp's introductory course is only 6 hours long, but it will require additional time and practice to master all the data visualization techniques that Power BI offers.

When should you not use Power BI?

When you have very large data sources. Power BI is not designed for use with massive data sets, and thus would not be your best option for managing them. You may experience issues with connecting and importing the data, as well as slow performance and lagging. 

Does Power BI have a data limit?

There is a 1 GB limit per dataset that can be imported into Power BI desktop. Workspaces that are in a Power BI Premium capacity, however, can import up to 10GB per dataset. 

Why should I learn Power BI?

It is an incredibly powerful tool for data visualization. It is also easy to use, share, and understand. It has the same base as other platforms like Power Query. So, if you have experience with DAX already, you’ll be able to start shaping and visualizing your data without learning an entirely new coding language.
