Summary

In this chapter, we downloaded and installed Power BI Desktop. We then took a quick tour of the desktop application's major user interface components, generated some working data to create a simple data model, and created some basic visualizations of that data model. We also learned how to format and add analytics to these visuals as well as how to control the way in which visuals interact with one another on a page.

In the next chapter, we will explore Power BI Desktop's data ingest capabilities and add more data to our data model.
