The Power BI Analytics pane is a feature within Power BI Desktop that allows users to perform advanced data analysis and create calculations using the DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) language.
The Analytics pane is located on the right side of the Power BI Desktop interface and contains several tabs for different types of calculations and data analysis:
- Fields: Lists all the columns in the data model and allows users to create calculated columns and tables.
- Measures: Allows users to create calculated fields, also known as measures, that perform aggregate calculations on the data, such as sum, count, and average.
- Time Intelligence: Allows users to create time-based calculations such as year-to-date, quarter-to-date, and month-to-date totals.
- Segments: Allows users to create segments of data based on specific conditions and then analyze the data within each segment.
Additionally, the Analytics pane provides a formula bar where users can enter DAX expressions and see the result of the calculations.
