Power BI is a business intelligence tool created by Microsoft that includes models to boost data analysis capabilities significantly. This piece delves into the layout and functions of semantic models within Power BI. Examines the benefits they bring in terms of data integration enhancement and user experience improvement for tackling complex analytical tasks.
