<p>Power BI developers handle real-time data integration by using DirectQuery or live data connections to data sources like SQL databases or streaming platforms. This allows data to be queried on-demand without storing it in Power BI’s internal storage, ensuring real-time updates in dashboards and reports. Power BI developers can also use streaming datasets in Power BI Service to visualize data as it arrives. Real-time data integration is particularly important for businesses requiring up-to-the-minute insights for decision-making, such as in finance, manufacturing, or logistics.</p>
