The Office Excel team and Power BI publisher team for Excel have released tools that allow you to share your Excel data and Insights to Power BI.

Microsoft is finally giving businesses what they really want: data types based on their own customer data.

Identifying differences between Excel files maintains data integrity. Further learning in Excel, Power BI, SQL, and VBA enhances data analysis capabilities.

Microsoft is leveraging its Power BI service to act as the connector to bring sources of data into Excel data types on the commercial side, allowing businesses to connect up a variety of data.
