Excel spreadsheets are great for keeping track of key metrics like company financials, sales pipeline, or lead conversions. You can easily set up, format, manipulate the data and maybe create a nice graph or chart. But keeping the data fresh and up-to-date is a real challenge. Not to mention having to send out a bunch of spreadsheets just to communicate your findings to the team. Before, gaining actionable insights from large data sets was an advantage only big businesses could enjoy, now with Power BI, that’s no longer the case.
Microsoft Power BI can help small to mid-size businesses tackle these challenges by turning disparate databases, files, and web services into stunning visual reports. It’s easy to both implement and understand, and the subscription model of Power BI costs a fraction of what other business intelligence solutions cost. With both a free and a pro version available, you can try out Power BI without the burden of a financial commitment.
