This platform makes it easy to create visually appealing reports from data. It can also be used to create <strong>interactive tables that can be easily shared<\/strong>.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a Desktop version of Power BI for local installation, and a Service version available via the cloud. The Power Query engine can be used to retrieve data from any source, thanks to a wide variety of connectors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) language enables queries to be programmed. <strong>Various tools and templates<\/strong> enable you to create reports and dashboards from data.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of Power BI&#8217;s strengths is the creation of <strong>aesthetically pleasing reports<\/strong> and dashboards. In comparison, Microsoft Excel seems limited in terms of styles and options.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks to the cloud, reports and dashboards can be shared very easily via the web. Teams can therefore collaborate on a project in an efficient and coordinated way. <strong>Visualizations can be opened on mobile platforms such as iOS and Android<\/strong>, or even on a connected watch.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Various security features help to protect data. Another advantage over Excel is that Power BI prevents obsolete data from being shared, so that <strong>everyone has access to the latest version of the report or dashboard<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba855bc elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ba855bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 02-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2023\/06\/Capture-decran-2022-08-17-a-10.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-168954\" alt=\"Screenshot of an excel sheet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2023\/06\/Capture-decran-2022-08-17-a-10.png 1024w, https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2023\/06\/Capture-decran-2022-08-17-a-10-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/files\/2023\/06\/Capture-decran-2022-08-17-a-10-768x478.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb2de69 elementor-align-center button-principal elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"eb2de69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/data-courses\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Get to know our training courses<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff56fc3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"ff56fc3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81f7ffd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"81f7ffd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Excel?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eec5dcb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eec5dcb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Excel spreadsheet application is world-renowned and offers many possibilities, including the <strong>creation of interactive dashboards<\/strong> in the style of Power BI. This software is particularly useful for quick analyses and calculations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using <strong>the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) language<\/strong>, you can automate many tasks. Several free templates are available for creating dashboards.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, dashboards created with Excel are less visually pleasing and don&#8217;t offer as many <strong>data filtering features<\/strong>. The advantage of Excel is that it offers far more diverse possibilities than Power BI. In particular, it is <strong>better suited to financial modeling and prediction<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With Excel, there is a risk of sharing obsolete data. However, such an incident can be avoided with sharing platforms such as OneDrive, SharePoint or Microsoft Teams.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep in mind that Excel is a general-purpose tool.

Mastery of these components is therefore an asset for both programs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact, the two platforms integrate very well, since they were both created by Microsoft. A data model created in Excel can<strong> very easily be published in Power BI<\/strong> without transition.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similarly, Excel and Power BI integrate seamlessly with other Microsoft Office applications, such as <strong>Teams and the Power ecosystem<\/strong>. This saves time and automates processes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There&#8217;s really no need to choose between Excel and Power BI, as they work very well together.
