May be I missed the point, but the title the differences. you talked about the similarities. I was expecting that you will show what Power BI can do that excel cannot, or the opposite.

Great video! I use both for my business. The dashboards on Power BI are fabulous but it does take time to map and sync several data sheets together. Thank you!

Hi Jon, is it possible to use excel pivot table as a data source for PowerBI ? If yes, does PowerBI charts change if I change sth in my Excel Pivot table ?

Nice video but maybe you want to talk a bit about VBA macros and forms...I guess they are not in Power BI. Thanks.

Well presented. You cannot type inputs to PBI -- another significant diff.

Excellent video, Jon. It was informative.
Do we need to have knowledge of Excel for using Power BI? I am a newbie in Excel and I don't know if lack of knowledge in Excel will hinder by learning in Power BI.

Sharing reports is not clear in power bi.

As I understand it, Power Query uses the M language while Power BI uses DAX language. Is that a difference too?

Hi Jon, could you have more video for power BI?

Hi Jon, I have reports that utilize Excel's Power Query, but they also must use the Excel grid in order to apply logic against the Power Query's output. This "final output" does not seem possible without utilizing the grid (at least not without writing a script, I don't believe). Is it possible to automate the process so that the Excel file could automatically refresh each day, and then the "final output" could be imported into Power BI to produce the visuals on a daily basis, all without having to manually update either?

Do we have to understand coding to use power BI?

[welbster]

so excel is a lot stronger and can do more, but power BI is made to be able to send around a lot easier?
