Well said. You need Tableau/PBI to tell the story of data, and distribute it to stakeholders. They aren't going to read a 10 page Word document of your findings

Well said. You need Tableau/PBI to tell the story of data, and distribute it to stakeholders. They aren't going to read a 10 page Word document of your findings... Maybe in 1999 they did. Looked at another way, you'd never publish a mathematical or statistical based thesis and not include any graphs or visuals. BI is just one of the steps after the analytics that is a necessary evil. It's not even a hard tool to use anyhow.
