Building an Empire - Implementing Power BI Step by Step
summary
Step-by-step recipe showing how an Excel file grows into a reusable BI platform: use Power BI Desktop and Power Query M to clean and combine sources, publish as dataflows stored in Power BI data lake or your own datalake/Dataverse, and build one shared dataset that multiple PBIX reports connect to. Covers gateways versus OneDrive/web API, computed and linked entities, and incremental refresh (Premium per user $20). Outcome: far fewer source hits, consistent numbers across reports, and faster, repeatable delivery.
