@Mdived , I doubt I have seen any automation tool for that. Most of them are services only.

All Power Bi pages are very similar to dashboard in Tableau , and you do not create sheets first and then put them in dashboard, so you can save alot with proper plan

Hi! I recently went through a similar Tableau to Power BI migration and wanted to share what I learned.

1. Tools:
Right now, there isn’t an official automated tool that fully migrates Tableau reports to Power BI. Most people handle Tableau to Power BI migration manually especially when converting calculated fields, dashboards, and visuals. There are some Tableau to Power BI migration accelerators and third-party solutions, but results can vary.

2. Tips to Reduce Effort:

• Focus on automating repetitive steps where possible

• Map Tableau calculated fields to Power BI DAX

• Document your Tableau to Power BI migration steps and challenges

• Consider using Power BI migration services or consulting if you have many dashboards

I found this guide really helpful for understanding the process, best practices, and migration challenges: Tableau to Power BI Migration Guide

Migrating from Tableau to Power BI can be a big project, but with the right approach and tools, it’s manageable!

Good luck!

Having a powerful migrating tool helps to ease out difficulty, especially when you are looking to migrate a large number of dashboards.

One useful tool that can help you in the migration process is the Tableau to Power BI Migration Utility. This utility automates the migration of Tableau assets to Power BI and Fabric.

There are 3 steps involved in this migration process. 

Step 1: Extract Tableau Report (vizzes), Tableau Workbook (twb/twbx), Tableau data source (TDS), and Tableau data extract (hyper) Metadata.

Step 2: Converts to Power BI reports, Power BI dashboards, and Power BI data imports.

Step 3: Publishes in Fabric Workplace.

Moreover, this utility will save upto 60-80% on migration time and cost when you migrate report from Tableau to Power BI.

If you have to do the migration at scale and need a converter:

Hi @Mdived ,

@amitchandak 's reply has been very helpful, thank you for contributing.
I would like to add a few more points.

I really understand the importance of having an efficient migration process, especially when dealing with a large number of dashboards.

Currently, there isn't a direct migration tool provided by Microsoft that can convert Tableau reports to Power BI reports automatically. The migration process typically involves recreating the reports in Power BI by connecting to the data sources and building the visualizations manually. 

Also, I found some videos&blogs, hope it will help you:

Hi everyone! I recently completed a Tableau to Power BI migration project with Office Solution and wanted to share my experience. Their tool, “Pulse Convert,” made it a breeze—converting Tableau (.twbx) files to Power BI in minutes with AI-driven accuracy! Microsoft Fabric’s OneLake took it up a notch by making data syncing seamless.

Key highlights:
- Lightning-fast conversion—dashboards ready in 2 minutes!
- No coding needed—just upload and go.
- Fabric amplified Power BI’s potential like never before.

There were some hiccups—DAX queries felt tricky at first, but I got the hang of it. What’s been your experience with migration? Any Fabric tips to share? @amitchandak @GilbertQ @Greg_Deckler—love to hear your thoughts!
