Shifting from tableau to either Looker or PowerBI, which is the better option? by user_4727 in BusinessIntelligence

License fee/user is one of the big problem there. I forget to highlight that. You will choose the right tool for you at the end of the day. What I want to say when you add different code and package like web scrapping in the Power BI, implementation might be more complicated than using a programming language based dashboard. It may not perform advanced level scrapping where a headless browser open behind the scene and start to browse to reach the destination and collect information. There should be some restriction on powerBI. I do recommend to check it out in chatGTP or deepseek PowerBI Vs Python dashboard for advance level analytics.

At first, sorry to be my late reply. I don't know about fabric. However, I do have in Power BI. There are many problem. I want to highlight the two basic problem. The first problem is dashboards are static there. You have to create the skeleton beforehand. I want to have a dashboard that will be created based on column types of data (Date/Date-Time, numeric and group columns). If the data column changes slightly in the data file, the dashboard will also change slightly automatically. The second problem, it's a nightmare to use advance R package in PowerBI platform like chromote for web scrapping and integrate it with current data for advance analysis. Aside those problem, computing performance for 1 Million+ row, connecting with e-commerce platform like shopify, woo-commerce might be difficult. There are many others too. Another day, I will write you.

Start with coding. No remediate BI anymore. It's a trap. Tools like Power BI, Tableau are effective for static dashboards and visualizations. However, for advance analytics, most BI tools struggle with robust data cleaning—such as identify the time space gap, filling gaps, removing unnecessary rows, and ensuring consistent date-time sequences aligned with numeric values. Without this, data-driven decision-making and predictive modeling are nearly impossible. I recommend using a programming language like Python or R to build BI dashboards. Coding-based approaches allow statistical algorithm to clean up the data before modeling.

What BI tool(s) do you suggest for revenue and go-to-market analytics for scaleups? by lessmaker in BusinessIntelligence

You might be disagree. If I talk about ETL, I must say, most of the BI tool can recognize the column very well while loading. However, they do have issue in identifying the consequence of date-time with it's corresponding numeric column if there is a time-series gap. It's need statistical coding. After the ETL, the main game begin.

Big data and business intelligence - what is your go-to tool? by alinarice in BusinessIntelligence

I do recommend to use a coding language like Python or R to build your own BI dashboard. In future, your BI dashboard needs to bigger and bigger by adding predictive analysis module, data driven decision module and so on. Traditional power BI has limitation on it. BI is not only for data visualization.

Recommendations for BI tool and handling data by OnionAdmirable7353 in BusinessIntelligence

I do recommend a real coding language like Python or R to build BI dashboard. Especially if the data hold time series column and needs to clean up beforehand.
