    Hi Elena,

     

    Thanks for sharing that comparison. However, i disagree on two of the points:

     

    1. “What-If” analysis
    This is very well supported in Power BI. Check out this link for details.

    2. Data Forecasting
    You can forecast data in Power Bi also. Check out the video in this blog post.

     

    I have never worked on Tableau so the information you put out was really helpful.
    Also, i would like to highlight that Tableau was founded in 2003 and Power BI has just come into the market (~4 Years ). I see Power BI growing at an exponential rate and it will soon be a bigger and better product to give a tough competetion to Tableau.

Looks like Elena may have copied and pasted some Tableaus marketing into our forum...Probably not exactly what people want on this site.   

 

Let me check with the team but will likely delete it due to: 

1.  Much of it is not accurate....For instance the first one and which as more visualizations. with the built in, the custom and leverage most of the R libraries this is a no contest. 

2.  It is marking hyperbole to sell Tableau

 

Thanks, 

Chuck
