Turn Any Excel Table Into a Dynamic Power BI Visual
Ever wish you could display any Excel table dynamically in Power BI? In this session, I show you how! Starting with a table in Excel, I use the HTML VizCreator custom visual to bring it into Power BI Desktop. With a touch of DAX magic, the table becomes fully dynamic, powered by the data in Power BI.
We all know that one Excel file—the one everyone loves, uses, and refuses to give up. Well, now you can finally bring that beloved table into Power BI and make it look even cooler! This session is an eye-opener, demonstrating something most people don’t even know is possible.
Since every company uses Excel, bringing familiar Excel-style tables into Power BI can have a huge impact. It’s a game-changer for anyone looking to streamline reporting while keeping the trusted look and feel of Excel.
This technique is perfect for creating pixel-perfect tables and saving hours of manual work. And while it might sound technical, there’s no need to worry—no HTML coding required! In fact, I don’t write a single line of HTML during the entire session.
Target Audience: Intermediate to advanced Power BI users, especially those familiar with DAX and comfortable with code-heavy sessions.
Session Duration: 45-60 minutes, adaptable to the event format.
