This session is designed for Power BI users who keep hearing about Tableau and want a clear, honest understanding of how the two tools compare. Delivered by two experts—a Power BI pro and a Tableau pro—this talk breaks down the differences, clears up misconceptions, and shows what Tableau can (and cannot) do from a Power BI perspective.

We explore some common questions Power BI users typically ask when looking at Tableau for the first time:
“There’s no Power Query—so how do I clean or shape my data?”
“There’s no DAX—so how do I create calculations?”
“Is Tableau really better for visualization, or is that just marketing?”

Using real examples and side-by-side comparisons, both presenters demonstrate how familiar Power BI tasks translate into Tableau’s approach. The dual-expert format encourages interaction, open discussion, and Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions directly and learn from both viewpoints.

By the end, attendees will have a practical, balanced understanding of how Tableau differs from Power BI, where each tool shines, and how to think about using both in a diverse analytics environment.
