[Power BI](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/documentation/powerbi-service-get-started/) is useful for creating business-centric dashboards and reports, along with reports that analyze long-term KPI (Key Performance Indicator) trends. You can [import the results of a log query](./logs/log-powerbi.md) into a Power BI dataset.
