Microsoft Power BI for Office 365, this is not your Father’s Spreadsheet
Microsoft Power BI for Office 365 is a fusion of tools designed to provide data analysis, visualisation, ad-hoc query and sharing of Excel data and spreadsheets. It brings together the “Power Tools” for Excel, Power Query, Power Pivot, Power View and Power Map, with cloud-based online facilities which allow you to view, store, share and query the dashboards you create with Excel and the Power tools.
It is not simply an add-on to Excel, but a radical enhancement of the data analysis tools you already know. Power BI for office 365 allows you to manipulate spreadsheets with millions of cells to produce intuitive data analysis with a rich set of charts, maps and dashboards.

“You can see the sales plotted on a map by postcode area” |

“I’ve got a lot of useful spreadsheets, but I’ll have to keep them up to date and explain them to you” |
“I’ve shared all my spreadsheets on Power BI, they update automatically, and you can select which charts you want to see” |
|
“The database data isn’t in the right format for Excel, I’ll need to re-key it” |
“Power Query imports the data and converts it to excel format automatically” |
