Nine months ago, BIChart set out to answer a difficult question: could Tableau workbooks be migrated into Power BI with accuracy, speed, and self-service at scale?
We started small. Our earliest iteration was limited to migrating a single workbook, and that single migration took weeks of engineering effort. Every visual type, parameter, or connection surfaced a new challenge.
Today, what once required manual effort can now be accomplished by a user independently, within our fully automated platform.
What BIChart V3 Delivers
Platform-level features:
- Bulk migration at scale, enabling entire portfolios of Tableau workbooks to be migrated in one process
Workbook-level support:
- Virtually any visual type
- Any supported data source
- Workbooks with published data sources
- Parameters of all kinds
- Extracts and live connections
- On-the-fly conversions that dictate the appropriate DAX and visual types
The path to BIChart V3
The path here has been defined by rapid iteration. In V1, migrating a single workbook was possible, but every step was manual. Filters, parameters, and visuals had to be adjusted one by one, and only bar charts, line charts, and pivot tables were supported. V2 added broader parameter handling, expanded visual coverage, and greater reliability across data connections, but still required iteration. Each phase led to what we have today.
This is not just incremental progress. It represents a suite of capabilities that, to our knowledge, has not been delivered before. BIChart brings together automation, intelligence, and precision to create the first true self-service migration tool for Tableau to Power BI.
What’s Next
While V3 is a milestone, it is not the destination. The road ahead is focused on even deeper integration and reliability. Future releases will bring full connection to Microsoft Fabric, allowing resources to be deployed directly from BIChart. They will introduce quality assurance tools that validate migrations post-process to ensure accuracy and consistency. They will add features that make migrations more seamless and predictable across large portfolios.
The speed of our progress should be a reminder that this is only the beginning. Users and partners can expect frequent updates as we continue to expand the scope of BIChart. We will never stop innovating, because the path we are on leads to something much bigger than Tableau to Power BI.
