📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

Why have the creators of this software made it so hard to import tables from Excel or oracle?

I know this is just an example for teaching Tabular Editor, your formula for Sales is wrong, and I'd hate for someone to use it.

It should be SUMX(Orders, unit_price * quantity)

Your formula sums all the unit prices, sums all the sales quantities and the multiplies the result of the two sums, which provides the correct answer only for a single row in a fact table, but not when aggregating over multiple rows.
