Summary

Microsoft has had a significant impact on the analytics field, with its Excel spreadsheet software being the most successful and enduring tool of all-time. However, another Microsoft technology, Power BI, has quietly captured an enormous amount of the business intelligence market in the preceding decade. To support users who integrate Cube Cloud with both Excel and Power BI, two exciting new features have been introduced: the Cube Cloud for Excel Add-in and the DAX API for Power BI. The Cube Cloud for Excel Add-in provides a custom pivot table UI experience that allows users to easily perform detailed analysis, while the DAX API for Power BI enables improved feature compatibility and performance, allowing users to connect their Cube Cloud environment to Power BI over the XMLA protocol. These new features continue to build on Microsoft's commitment to support the ecosystem and provide large compatibility and accessibility improvements for users who integrate Cube Cloud with Excel and Power BI.
