Excel to Power BI Migration Services

Branchnode Technology moves the reports your team rebuilds in Excel every week into Power BI: a proper data model, connected to your real sources, that refreshes itself and stays accurate. You keep the information you rely on and lose the manual work, the version chaos, and the copy-paste errors. We are Houston-based and work with companies across the US and worldwide.

Tell us about the Excel reports you want to migrate and we will respond within 24 hours.

From Manual Excel to a Self-Refreshing Model

Most Excel reporting breaks the same way: someone exports data, pastes it into a template, fixes the formulas, and emails a file that is already out of date by lunch. We rebuild that report as a Power BI model connected directly to your sources, so it refreshes on a schedule and is correct every morning with no one touching it.

We Keep the Logic, We Remove the Manual Work

Your spreadsheets encode years of business logic: the calculations, the categorizations, the exceptions everyone knows but nobody wrote down. We translate that logic into a clean Power BI data model and DAX measures, so you keep every number you trust and drop the fragile manual steps that used to produce it.

Data Modeling & DAX Done Right

A pile of Excel tabs is not a data model. We design a proper star schema behind the report, write DAX measures precisely, and document them, so the report is fast, accurate, and easy to extend, instead of a black box only one person on your team understands.

Automated Refresh & a Single Source of Truth

We connect Power BI to your real sources (SQL, Excel and SharePoint, accounting, CRM, and APIs) and configure scheduled refresh through the gateway. Everyone sees the same current numbers instead of five different versions of last week's spreadsheet floating around in email.

Handling the Messy Reality of Spreadsheets

Merged cells, inconsistent formats, manual overrides, and the one tab nobody fully understands: we have migrated reports like yours before. We clean and reshape the data with Power Query so the migration is faithful to what you actually report, not just to what the spreadsheet happens to look like.

Houston and Beyond

We are based in Houston and can meet on-site across the Greater Houston Area for discovery and training, including The Woodlands, Katy, Sugar Land, and Spring. We run the build remotely on a clear schedule for clients across the US and worldwide.

Excel to Power BI Migration: FAQ

How long does an Excel to Power BI migration take?
It depends on how many reports you are moving and how messy the source data is. A single well-defined report is usually a few weeks; a suite of interconnected reports takes longer. We give you a clear timeline after a short discovery call.
Will the Power BI report match our current Excel numbers?
Yes. We validate the new report against your existing Excel output before handoff, so you can trust that the migration is faithful and the numbers reconcile.
Where will Power BI pull data from instead of Excel?
From your real sources: SQL databases, Excel and SharePoint files, accounting and CRM systems, and APIs. We connect them once and configure scheduled refresh so the report stays current automatically.
Do we have to stop using Excel completely?
No. Excel is still great for ad-hoc analysis. We move the recurring, manual reporting into Power BI and leave you free to use Excel where it actually makes sense.
How much does an Excel to Power BI migration cost?
Most migrations run from $500 to $5,000 depending on the number of sources, the complexity of the logic, and how much data cleanup is involved. We scope every project individually and provide a fixed estimate.
Can you also move us to Microsoft Fabric?
Yes. If you are modernizing your stack, we can build the model in Microsoft Fabric and set up the semantic model, gateway, and refresh so everything is ready for the future.
