Conclusion
In this chapter, we walked through the installation and configuration of the primary tools that BI professionals utilize to design and develop Power BI content, including official Microsoft tools such as Power BI Desktop, the On-premises data gateway, and Analyze in Excel, as well as third-party tools such as DAX Studio, the ALM Toolkit, and Tabular Editor. These tools, coupled with the Power BI service, are the primary resources needed by BI professionals to be productive with Power BI. Later chapters of this book explore the use of these tools in developing and enhancing Power BI solutions.
