Abstract
Before you can use Power BI Desktop to present any analysis or discover new insights, you need data. Your sources could be in many places and in many formats. Nonetheless, you need to access them, look at them, select them, and quite possibly restructure them or clean them up to some extent. You may also need to join many separate data sources before you shape the data into a coherent model that you can use as the foundation for your dashboards and reports. The amazing thing is that you can do all of this using Power BI Desktop without needing any other tools or utilities.
