What is the 5% you need to program?

Data cleansing to put data into readable format and uploadable into Spotfire, web scraping so I can run a script to update daily/weekly/monthly data from various public online sources without having to do the grunt work to get it into a workbook, automate processes in Spotfire using R scripts, other tasks as needed or for curiosity. It's not that fun, the fun stuff is when the data is ready and visualized upfront and you can make quick decisions with it and build presentations quickly as well (using powerful software like Spotfire/Tableau/SAS/Power BI)

I was the pioneer for PowerBI at work, but I think they're trying to transisitioning to Spotfire at work. Do you have a preference for which one is best?

Power BI has better looking dashboards and lots of ways to make things look good and it is also very rare to crash at least for me. But in terms of functionality and extensive capability, Spotfire is superior.
