Power BI Desktop is the primary tool used to develop the visual and analytical content
which can then be deployed and collaborated on in the Power BI Service and optionally
embedded in other applications and portals or even shared on the public internet. Although
Power BI Desktop runs as a single application, it includes three tightly integrated
components with their own options and settings:
The Get Data and Query Editor experience, with its underlying M language and
data mashup engine
The SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) tabular data modeling engine and its
DAX analytical language
The interactive reporting and visualization engine formerly known as Power
View
Configuring and leveraging these capabilities, in addition to advanced analytics and
customization features such as R, mobile layout, and natural language queries, makes it
possible to build robust and elegant BI and analytics solutions.
