Power BI Desktop is a free application you install on your local computer that lets you connect to, transform, and visualize your data. With Power BI Desktop, you can connect to multiple different sources of data, and combine them (often called modeling) into a data model. This data model lets you build visuals, that form a Dashboard that you can easily share as reports with other people inside your organization. Most users who work on business intelligence projects use Power BI Desktop to create reports and then use the Power BI service to share their reports with others.
