If you haven't used PowerBI recently, let me tell you it is better than Tableau. In my previous work, using PowerBI I can easily drag and drop dimensions and it can suggest data visualization in browser. Now I have tableau and I have to open the laggy Tableau Creator, wait for a sync, then build a visualization from scratch. Maybe its poorly implemented at the new place, but I avoid it when I can - its easier and faster to download the raw data and visualized it in Google Sheets even

This is so interesting as my experience with PowerBI is that it’s just not as good. Not just that the figures look worse and have worse default colors, but functionality-wise it’s just more of a hassle.

What’s nice is that it’s better than Excel so if you want to replace Excel, PBI is great. But if you want a functional data viz that you’re not embarrassed to put on your web site, I’m not sure PBI works.

I'm the opposite. I love Tableau Creator and hate working in the browser. There's also no Power BI creator desktop app for Mac (nor will there ever be, I guess), so I refuse to use it.

neither qlick nor tableau ever came up with a language even remotely as powerful as DAX. that's all i need to know. the rest is excel.

And, you can use DAX inside Excel with PowerPivot.
