What is a "tile" in Power BI?

In Power BI, a "tile" specifically refers to a single visual or a bookmarked view presented on a dashboard. Each tile is a distinct element that displays information derived from the data within Power BI, such as charts, graphs, or other visual components. These tiles help to convey insights and summarize data in an accessible manner, allowing users to quickly view key metrics and information at a glance.

When considering other options, the term "data model component" refers to the foundational structure of the data within Power BI, which is more comprehensive than a tile. The choice that describes a "visual representation of data on a report" is somewhat broader than a tile, as it encompasses multiple visuals or layouts on a report page, rather than focusing on a singular element. Lastly, a filter applied to data is a way to manipulate or refine the data being displayed, but does not represent a visual item itself.

Understanding the specific role of a tile in the context of dashboards is crucial for effectively using Power BI to present and interpret data.
