Will Power BI take over MS Excel

Question

I was just wondering if power BI going to take over the traditional way of managing data i.e. MS Excel. What do you guys think?

Answer 1

Power BI Desktop has the potential to overtake as it's gaining popularity and become more futuristic. Most of Excel’s latest improvements have only become available if you have a separately installed Office ProPlus license or are an Office 365 E3 tenant.

Answer 2

I feel power BI has already taken over excel. Traditional methods are good but eventually you need to get out of the comfort zone and accept change.

Answer 3

Well, if your taking about just data gathering, then Excel is better and will be the preferred option even after a few years.

But if its about data visualization and reporting, then Excel is already overtaken by PowerBI. PowerBI is just too good for excel's standards IMO.
