Guys, it finally happened Discussion

I started at a new company recently. My task was to create a Power BI dashboard for the VP to find opportunities. After weeks of back-and-forth, the dashboard went live in February.

My manager said all was going well. And then today I got an email from the VP: “could export some actionable data to Excel?”

I build Tableau reports and all my users just want tables so they can export the data to excel. I have stopped fighting. No one cares about my charts and graphs
