Power BI

Power BI Introduction​

Power BI is a collection of software services and application connectors that can connect to multiple data sources, including Excel, SQL Server, Azure, Google Analytics, etc., so that users can easily consolidate and clean their data. With Power BI's data modeling, users can create relational models, data analysis expressions, and data relationships to support advanced data analysis and visualization. Power BI offers a wealth of visualization options, including ICONS, maps, dashboards, and custom visualization tools to help users make a more intuitive sense of data.

Apache Doris is highly compatible with MySQL protocol and can be connected to Power BI and Apache Doris through MySQL Driver. At present, internal data modeling, data query and visualization processing of Apache Doris have been officially supported in Power BI.
