Guide to understanding and getting started with PowerBI?

Is there any good guide that will allow me to understand the advantages and disadvantages of:
PowerBI on SharePoint vs PowerBI through Office365?
And that also shows me the tools:
PowerMap
PowerView
PowerQuery
PowerPivot
I feel like these are all awesome things that could benefit my company, but I don't know enough about them.

Your best bet on getting to know these tools are the Microsoft documentation pages on getting started with any of them.
This page has an intro to Power BI and links to specific pages on each of these 'Power' tools.
An important note, Power BI is a specific product, which is available on the cloud only. The tools used with Power BI, Power Map, Power View, Power Query, and Power Pivot, are all available in regular Office 2013 Pro Plus and in Office 365 Pro Plus.
You can upload the workbooks utilizing these tools to SharePoint on premises, but you will not be utilizing the Power BI service, which is currently only available through the cloud and offers extended features to this stack of personal BI tools.
After you've read through the documentation, perhaps we can answer more specific questions here.

    Note: your printer must be connected to the Internet through a wireless connection.
    How does HP make sure you’ll always have ink? Your printer uses the Internet to let us know when to send more ink. Here’s how you can get all the ink you need, delivered to your door.
    Purchase an eligible printer.
    Enroll in a plan based on the number of pages you print.
    Ink, shipping, and cartridge recycling are included.
    No annual fee—Change or cancel your plan anytime.3
    We’ll mail special HP Instant Ink cartridges to you.
    Our cartridges have more ink than standard HP ink cartridges, so you’ll replace them less often.
    Billing and service start after you insert your first HP Instant Ink cartridge.
    Your printer will tell us when to send ink.
    Your service is not based on how many cartridges you use, so print as many high quality photos as you like.
    You’ll always have ink before you need it.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    When you enroll in an HP Instant Ink plan, you pay a monthly fee to print a defined number of pages per month. The plans are based on the number of pages that you print, not on how many ink cartridges you use. Your monthly fee pays for ink, shipping, and recycling. If you do not print all of your plan pages in a month, you can roll over up to the number of pages per month in your plan. If you print more pages, there is an additional charge. Ink is included — the plans are based on your usage so you pay for the pages you print, not the ink cartridges HP sends you. A printed page counts the same whether it is black and white, a color document, or a photo. Shipping is included.

  • JDevloper and Getting Started with BPM 11g

    I have the latest version of Jdevloper 11.1.1.5, and I am not finding the BPM Application,
    as outlined in the Book Getting Started with Oracle BPM Suite 11gR1? The settings for the 'role" are just not there?
    Must I run Jdevloper 11.1.2.1? which then complains about the maintenance level.
    Can anyone comment on why, this feature would not be in 11.1.1.5 ?

    I attempted this option early on, an once again the BPM option was not in the update list, I install Spring, the tomcat ext... but there was no BPM ext. you do have a point here, is there a separate update center?
    I'm assuming that it would / should be in the default centers for the tool?

    thanks,

    Hi,
    First of all have you installed Shared Services as you will need that as that foundation of the installation.
    You will also need to install other components such as essbase if you intend to use it with web analysis.
    If you have done that, then you will first need a repository to hold Reporting and Analysis information.
    Afte start up the configuration utility and select the Reporting & analysis elements and go through the steps entering
    details such as shared services connection, repository information.
    It should install the components as a service.
    You should really read the installation document :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hs_windows_install.pdf

  • Cancel one phone and get started with internet for the house

    I have 2 phones on my account one for and and the other for my wife, now we work together and pretty much using one phone so im paying for 2 phones while only using one.
    I want to just get rid of that phone on my account and start up Internet at our new home so im actually paying for something instead of wasting.
    how do i go about that do i still pay a cancellation fee for the 2nd phone to?

    James_M
    Thanks so much for visiting the community to post your question.
    You said you are looking to get internet,  Are you looking to get one of our USB Modems or highspeed internet at home?
    If you are looking to just cancel one phone line, it absolutely can be done. If you are still under contact with the one line you want to cancel, then there will be an ETF (early termination fee).
    If there is an ETF on the line of service that you are looking to cancel, you may be able to check with friends or family members to see if anyone is looking to take over the line and put it in their name which is called an Assumption of Liability.
    An AOL (assumption of liability) change (formerly known as: name change, transfer of liability, billing responsible party change, etc.) is the process of transferring an account's financial liability from an existing Account Owner to another Account Owner.

  • Getting started with iChat & iSight

    I just bought an iSight camera. My hope was as I travel with my Powerbook, i could set up in my hotel and "kiss my family goodnight". I have a .mac account and another mac at home, but I can't find any information on how to set up my home mac on my buddy list to chat with them. Do I have to have two .mac accounts? I'm getting confused on how to use the software and hardware as advertised. Nothing fancy, just want my family to be able to see me at home when I am on the road. Can anyone help me understand and get started?

  • Getting started with Java and XML

    Hi,
    Although I am pretty familiar with Java, I am a total newbie with using it to parse XML. I have been reading quite a few tutorials so am getting a good understanding of it and am thinking of using the DOM model for my purposes.
    What I haven't been able to find, however, is how I can actually get started with this. I have tried compiling a few examples and have been getting errors such as:
    xmltest.java package javax.xml.parsers does not exist
    xmltest.java package org.w3c.dom does not existetc etc...
    It looks like these packages don't come with J2SE. Can anyone confirm this? Do I need to download and install the Java Web Services Developer Pack to solve this problem?
    Finally, I know I will need an XML parser but have read that JDK 1.4 has it's own parser (Crimson). Is this adequate for parsing XML files or will I also need a parser such as Xerces?
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Hi DrClap,
    Thanks for the reply. I have JDK 1.4.1_02 installed on my server but the following error keeps coming up when I try to run my example:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/NodeAre there any further packages I need to download in order to run Java with XML? I have read some people install JAXP and XERCES... are these necessary for parsing an XML document or should J2SE 1.4.1 be sufficient?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Can not get example to work after following instructions given in "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" guide

    We explored using sbRIO for our project, for different reasons we ended up going with a different embedded solution . We are currently evaluating the LabVIEW C Generator to convert some of the core analysis routines from LabVIEW to C so the team that will be creating the embedded solution don't have to re-implement them from scratch. 
    Before converting our code, I followed the instructions given in the "Getting Started with the NI LabVIEW C Generator" manual to create a static library created inCygwin using GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). 
    I managed to compile the code, but when I type "run GCD.exe" in the Cygwin console, I just see the window flash with no time to see if the result is correct or not. I modified the main.c cde to add a getchar(), but the window still just flashes and now I am left with the GCD process still running and have to kill it using Windows Task Manager.
    Has anyone else got this example to run? I am sure I am missing an obvious setting or step, please help me.
    More details below.

    I copied Makefile located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\CGenerator\Tutorial\Cygwin
    and replaced both Makefile and Makefile.cygwin in the directory where the C code was generated
    I also copied main.c from the same location and replaced the one generated
    Here is the snapshot of the results after executing "make GCD.exe"
    Then to run it I just type 
    I see a window open and close really quickly and I never see the result. I have tried adding the getchar() line to the main.c file, but still I don't get to see the results.

    Hi Kevin,
    I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I am attaching a zip file with the LabVIEW project, my build specification and my version of "Greatest Common Divisor.vi", which should be the same as the one that you have that ships with the LabVIEW C Generator, but just in case. I am also attaching a zip file with the C files generated by the LabVIEW C Generator.
    You can also see the video I posted earlier with the steps I followed. I hope you are able to point out where I went wrong.

  • I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

    i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

    Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
    If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".
