PowerBI wants to be Tableau based on the number of times Microsoft sales has demoed and whatnot.
But I haven’t met databiz people who switched from tableau to PBI. I’m not sure why as they look pretty similar on paper.
I think Tableau’s mental model is about exporting and storytelling while PBI is about reporting.
Personally, I find it harder to work with PBI because it’s the only license model more confusing that Tableau. And there’s no Tableau Public equivalent.
This - we had power pivot in excel - then for some licensing reasons we didn’t. I know how to buy excel and firms buy it blindly - tie power bi into that sales channel
