Hi Guys
just interested in hearing your experience in case you are using PowerBi desktop as a standalone solution, and how you manage the lack of some features
1- prininting capabilities.
2- Limited export to Excel.
3- Lack of formating for some charts
The reason, i am asking this question, i use exclusively Powerpivot to generate Excel dashboard using pivot tables and cube formula, the PowerBI cloud is not an option, we don't have SSAS or SSRS.
I tried PowerBI desktop but i feel, microsoft are only interested in promoting the tool as an authoring tool for the cloud or the future PowerBI on premise.
so do you think it is sensible to use PowerBI desktop as a standalone Self service BI solution the likes of tableau desktop and Qlik Desktop ?
