Ask HN: What is your dream BI tool?
If you get frustrated by current BI tools... what would you change?
- smodo 2y agoPowerBI with an actually decent DAX IDE or language server. Writing DAX in a single line like an excel formula is bonkers. The language itself is pretty interesting but MS apparently can’t be arsed to help me write it.
- mmphosis 2y agoI had to look up what BI means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_intelligence
- nocubicles 2y agoI like Power BI and Metabase the best.
- shortrounddev2 2y agoI don't think people dream about work productivity software. These are things we use because we have to, not because they genuinely make us happy. When someone works with some crappy piece of work software, they don't think "I wish it had XYZ features", they think "I wish I had a better job"
- coreyp_1 2y agoThe one I write. :) I mean this seriously. I really don't like any of the solutions that I've worked with (although Looker does check a lot of the boxes, it also has some big blind spots), and I want to create my own reporting suite in the future. Besides, after seeing many options over the years, I feel that I could make some substantial improvements.
