Terms in this definition
- Power BI service
Power BI's browser-based SaaS component: people publish and share reports and semantic models there, create dashboards and apps, and set up scheduled data refreshes.
- FILTER
Returns just those rows of a table that meet a condition. In CALCULATE it handles conditions too complex for a Boolean filter argument, though a Boolean filter is faster whenever one will work.
- Power BI Desktop
A free Windows program where authors connect to sources, shape and model data, and design reports before publishing them to the Power BI service. Dashboards are not made here.
Related terms
- Data alert
Notifies you when a refresh takes a Power BI dashboard tile's value past a limit you set; it works on card, KPI and gauge tiles. Reports can't have them, and nobody but the creator sees the alert.
- Tile
Usually pinned from a report, a tile is one visual on a Power BI dashboard; selecting it opens that original report.
