there are many reasons to use Excel, including costs, but when talking about the wonders and functions of Excel, of which there are many, it is often good to think about Excel as a Swiss Army knife.

I have listed two articles about Excel and BI (like a Tableau) and one on Excel vs. Power BI; what do you think some of the pros and cons are when using Excel as a BI program? At what point do you think a company should make the switch to a standalone tool?
