honestly open source software is important.
I am a Microsoft user (sorry) but don't think my company will allow use of other programs due to software policy.
Is there an open soursce excel and powerbi / powerpoint thing ?
LibreOffice Calc is pretty good. Your company can invest in a fork and it should do what you need.
Power BI is a different kind of beast though. Soon only available as part of Microsoft Fabric, a SaaS analysis platform. Sure, the technically inclined can use Python/R/Julia with MongoDB, a set of SQL DBs, some CI and Plotly/Dash, but that effectively requires to have some Software- and Data Engineers on staff and some dedicated machines/VMs. Power BI / Fabric is much cheaper for small to medium sized companies outside of IT.
Thats interesting! Thanks for elaborating.
I have never heard of it so I cant say if there is an alternative but I‘m pretty sure being vendor locked like this is MUCH more expensive than using a more complicated bit open solution in the long term.
Neat
Thanks for a free answer you could charge somebody for :)
