    RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

    Hi
    We are using excel with macros for generating reports and display it in graphical format.
    Can we use Power BI to do the same ?
    Is it possible to do same and display graph and also can we generate excel output, graphs, multiplae tabs, in webpage?

    Thanks

    I am an advanced VBA developer, and am considering replacing TIBCO Spotfire with Power BI. Spotfire supports JavaScript, and apparently Power BI down NOT support VBA? Please add VBA to Power BI. It's a make or break for me.

    This is a very useful BI tool. However, it would be more powerful and versatile with the integration of VBA.

    RE: VBA for Power BI Desktop

    Does PowerBI desktop have something like OLE automation, so we can automate like excel?
    If yes , where can I find the information? I try a number of Power shell scrip in GitHub, not working at all, run with error

    Maybe the ability to create a tile where you can create all the functionality of an activex form (like Excel or MS Access forms).

    Or, just automation of Power BI with VBA.
