RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

Agreed! Nothing like VBA when it comes to automation of Excel reporting and visualization. Having VBA enhances the capability of Excel multifold. Please consider this request

RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

I have hundreds of macros and completely customised Excel ribbons with many, many personal buttons based on VBA macros. I can't even use native Excel any more. The chance that out-of-the-box Power BI is going to provide me with all the flexibility and functionality I need is unlikely. PLEASE PLEASE add VBA support to PowerBI.

RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

Hands down the most important feature of Power BI would be the inclusion of VBA!

RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

We built custom Excel based tools for analyzing our data. Programatic VBA functionality would allow us to convert the tool to Power BI. Power BI functionality alone is not sufficient for flexible user interaction.
