Power BI is a relatively new Microsoft program that allows you to collect data even automatically in order to then organize them into reports to be studied and analyzed. This is, of course, a program addressed to companies and professionals as an integration of the Office 365 suite, which can also be used alone, for personal purposes, for free.
The nice thing about PowerBI is its ability to interface with online services such as Google Anaytics and Facebook or even from programs such as Excel.
PowerBI has the ability to transform huge amounts of raw data into useful information to be consulted daily, represented in dashboards, documents and reports.
It is therefore possible to create interactive graphs of any type automatically from any simple or complex database.
From what I have been able to try PowerBI is a really powerful program, not difficult to use, with an interface similar to that of other Office programs, which includes a wizard for connecting to any online or offline database such as Excel.
Similar to a drawing program, the PowerBI icons represent the various data visualization tools that can be used to create the dashboard of reports and interactive graphs that self-feed and modify according to the variation of the data.

As mentioned above, Microsoft Power BI is free and can be used as a cloud application or even downloaded as a desktop program for Windows PCs from the official Powerbi.microsoft.com website.
Power BI is also an app for iPhone and iPad and for Android devices.
