Power BI offers a wide range of useful features that make it a powerful tool for data analysis, visualization, and reporting. Here are some of the most useful features of Power BI:
Data Connectivity: Power BI can connect to a variety of data sources, including databases (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL), cloud services (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), on-premises data sources, Excel files, and web services. This versatility makes it easy to consolidate and analyze data from different places.

Power BI's data modeling capabilities help establish relationships between tables for complex data analysis.
