Excel vs. Power BI

Excel is everywhere; most everybody knows it to some degree.

Power BI is not everywhere (yet), but you've heard good things about it.

How do you decide which meets your needs best?

If you work with large volumes of data that come from a variety of sources, and you need to analyze the data by creating cool and dynamic visuals that you want to share with many others, your needs might be better served with Power BI as opposed to Excel.

On the other hand, if you work with lots of data that you need to analyze in ad-hoc fashion and/or create and manage tabular data in ways that match exactly the way you want to do your number-crunching, and then display all your results in specific, customizable ways, your needs might be better served with Excel as opposed to Power BI.
