Power BI Versus Excel

Power BI is a software that allows for data manipulation and visualization. Power BI enables large volumes of data to be synthesized and visualized in ways that are easy to understand. Real-time flexibility is provided through filtering and dynamic views to instantly alter charts/tables to see the representative data at any given time (e.g., business units or product-level data). Power BI can connect to over 140 data sources such as Dynamics 365, Azure SQL Database, Salesforce, Excel, SharePoint, and is widely used to transform and clean data into data models.

Are you considering moving your data to SQL and Power BI? 

With so many factors to consider when moving your data to the cloud, you want to make sure you’re assessing all of your options and picking a solution that works best for you. SQL and Power BI are strong tools that can help you organize your data, find a single source of truth, and become more efficient with your reporting needs.

We teamed up with Microsoft for a special on-demand event that explains the options and solutions for moving your data to the cloud – securely and confidently.

The 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence places Microsoft Power BI in the leader’s quadrant once again because of its affordable price, ease of use, visual appeal, product vision, and customer experience. Customers continue to show high levels of interest and adoption in the cloud-based business analytics service because of Power BI’s effectiveness in providing data preparation, data discovery, interactive information sharing, and augmented analytics.

Big Data is everywhere and growing every day. Not having enough data to make important decisions is usually not a problem for most organizations today. The challenge is how do you get at this data, consolidate it, synthesize it, and present it to users in a way that they can quickly leverage it.

It provides insights throughout your organization by making your vast amount of data consumable. The service allows you to connect to hundreds of data sources, simplify data prep, drive ad hoc analysis, and produce reports and dashboards to easily share relevant information.
