SUMMARY:Devon and Cornwall Microsoft Power BI User Group - Navigating the j
 ourney from Excel to Fabric (and back again!)
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the journey from Excel to Fabric (and back again!)\n
 \nFor decades\, the entire business world has been built on the flexibilit
 y and power of spreadsheets. From rocket science to credit derivatives\, a
  mind that could imagine it could implement it with nothing more than Exce
 l formulas and cell references. But over time this has resulted in siloed\
 , manual processes in “Shadow IT” where some of the most valuable data
  and logic in an organisation is locked away in these files.\nBut it doesn
 ’t need to be like that! The promise of Microsoft Fabric is to bring all
  your organisational data into a single place\, in a single format where i
 t can be extracted\, shaped\, enriched and secured once for use in any too
 l. So\, from an organizational perspective\, there are many benefits of su
 ch a unified data platform.\n\nHowever\, it’s not obvious how you would 
 take an Excel-based process (or financial model) and bring it into a Power
  BI and Fabric environment. Perhaps it’s overkill to even consider such 
 a move\, and it’s potentially a significant business risk if those analy
 sts used to working in Excel haven’t yet developed the different skillse
 ts required for Fabric.
