Differences between Power BI desktop and Power BI service
Ever wonder what the differences are between "Power BI Desktop" and "Power BI Service"?
Power BI Desktop is a free application you download and install on your local computer (not a Mac though). Desktop is a complete data analysis and report creation tool that is used to connect to, transform, visualize, and analyze your data. It includes the Query Editor, in which you can connect to many different data sources and combine them (often called modelling) into a data model. Then you design a report based on that data model. Reports can be shared with others directly or by publishing to the Power BI service.
The Power BI service is a cloud-based service within Microsoft 365. It supports report editing and collaboration for teams and organizations. You can also connect to data sources in the Power BI service, but modelling is limited. The Power BI service is used to do things such as creating dashboards, creating and sharing apps, analyzing and exploring your data to uncover business insights, and much more.
So, if you want to get "jiggy with it" and create epic Reports, then Power BI Desktop is your app.
