Verify Data in Power BI

Power BI, while primarily a data visualization tool, offers several methods to verify your data's integrity. One approach utilizes built-in data profiling tools. These tools provide summaries of data types, null values, and outliers, helping you identify potential inconsistencies. Additionally, Power Query Editor allows for data cleansing and transformation before it even enters the Power BI model. Here, you can filter out irrelevant data, fix inconsistencies, and ensure data types align with your analysis needs.

Furthermore, Power BI supports the creation of custom DAX measures that can act as data validation checks. These formulas can compare values across different tables or identify rows that violate specific business rules, flagging potential errors for further investigation. By combining these techniques, Power BI empowers you to build trust in your data, leading to more reliable and insightful visualizations.
