Your Spreadsheet Just Got a Whole Lot Smarter & Better Looking
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.

At Withum, our team of Power BI consultants can help turn clusters of data into visual masterpieces. We can help you gain real insights into your business, anytime, anywhere with Power BI.

Introduction to Power BI’s Data Solutions
Microsoft Power BI is a suite of cloud-based business analytics tools that gives you a 360-degree view of your most important data. It’s flexible, easily accessible, and one of its most important features is that it delivers pre-built data connectors that integrate with Excel, as well as provides visualization and communication tools that allow you to make sense of your data.
With Power BI services, in one click you can go from an ordinary spreadsheet to a dashboard with insightful visuals and data-rich reports. And since Power BI is available as a cloud service, you can access your dashboards via Office 365 (or any cloud) or your computer, iPhone, iPad or Android device or any web browser.
A unique feature of Power BI is that it has the ability to bring in data from most major data sources, including Google Analytics, Salesforce, Sharepoint, MailChimp, Quickbooks, Facebook and much more.
