Today, in our Power BI Series, Let's discuss about various kinds of views that are available to you.
As a data analyst, you should be aware about them to use them effectively to perform operations on data, understand relationship among tables and to generate effective visualizations.
So, We have 3 different views available in Power BI and these are:
1) Report View
2)Table View
3) Model View
Now, Let's discuss each one of them.
1) Report View: So, as the name suggests, this view allows you to create reports and in simple terms, here you can create visuals, apply filters and can create measures as well. You can select among various visuals including bar chart, column chart, funnel chart, treemap, cards and a lot more. Also, now you will se a Microsoft Copilot icon which will allow you to use benefits of co-pilot in your Power BI desktop to create reports and dashboards.
2) Table View: It allows you to access all your tables that are available in your database (if you connect via DBMS such as MySQL or PostgreSQL). Here, you can create new columns, measures and much more. You can also use DAX formulas here to create new columns and measures. The main difference between Table View and Power Query is that, Table views shows you the data that is currently present in your model while in Power Query, you need to apply the changes selecting the option "Close and Apply" or "Apply", then the model gets updated.
3) Model View: This view shows you the relationship among different tables and with which relationship they are connected (one-one, one-many and more). Here, you can see which column is used as a link between two tables, you can alter the relationship between them and more. Also, as a data analyst, you should be cautious to modify the relationship, specially "Cross Filter direction" as it can create a lot of errors if they are not used correctly.
