How long does it take to migrate from Excel to Power BI?
It depends on the complexity of your data, but most migrations can be completed in 4-6 weeks.
What is DAX, and why is it important?
DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) is the powerhouse behind Power BI’s analytical capabilities. It’s a specialized formula language that transforms raw data into actionable insights, enabling you to craft custom calculations, measures, and time intelligence functions. With DAX, you can create dynamic, context-aware analyses that tell the real story behind your data. In essence, DAX is what turns your data into a strategic asset, driving smarter, more impactful decisions.
Are third-party tools safe?
Yes, they are embedded in Power BI Desktop and integrate seamlessly. The data never leaves the Power BI environment.
How do you transform legacy Excel files into Power BI dashboards?
The process begins with a thorough review of your current Excel models to understand key metrics and challenges. I then map out the necessary data relationships and design a Power BI solution tailored to your business needs. By automating calculations and simplifying data structures, I deliver an interactive, real-time dashboard that enhances decision-making and streamlines operations.
