The problem we solve

Pasting Excel into Power BI without redesign just moves the mess. We map each critical pack back to its sources, rebuild the joins properly, and cut over when Power BI matches the last pack you trusted.

What you get

What ships in a focused first engagement—not a vague transformation promise.

  • Deliverable 1: Inventory of macros, linked workbooks, and manual steps in today’s pack
  • Deliverable 2: Map of which Excel cells become report fields vs calculations
  • Deliverable 3: Clean data prep replacing fragile spreadsheet joins
  • Deliverable 4: Reconciled Power BI model and replacement report pages
  • Deliverable 5: Cutover checklist and dual-run period plan
  • Deliverable 6: Guidance to archive legacy files as read-only

How it works

A realistic sequence with calendar time, assuming prompt access and stakeholders.

  1. 01

    3–5 days

    Walk the current pack

    Sit with the analyst who builds it. Capture every external link and timing dependency.

  2. 02

    1–2 weeks

    Rebuild from the sources

    Connect the systems behind the spreadsheet so you are not forever loading intermediate Excel dumps.

  3. 03

    1–2 close cycles

    Dual-run and cut over

    Run Excel and Power BI side by side until totals match within agreed rules—then retire the manual pack.

Practical details

The decisions that matter before the first report goes live.

  • 01The goal is reporting from the systems of record, not forever importing the same spreadsheet that used to be emailed.
  • 02We keep a dual-run window so finance is not forced to flip a switch on day one.
  • 03Analysts should spend time on commentary—not copying tabs every Monday.

Guide

Excel-to-Power BI cutover checklist that survives the first month-end

The reporting problem

  • 01The Monday pack only one person knows how to build.
  • 02Linked workbooks break when someone renames a folder.
  • 03Two people “fix” the same file and create two truths.

What changes

  • Operating pack refreshes on a schedule without manual paste.
  • Totals match agreed sources within documented rules.
  • Analysts spend time explaining results, not assembling them.

Frequently asked questions

04

Buyer questions answered

No. We migrate the packs that drive decisions. Personal scratch files stay out of scope unless they become official.

Three to six weeks for one operating pack, including dual-run, when sources are available.

We decide how much history the first release needs. Full archive history can come later.

Yes where it helps. Export is fine; rebuilding the whole pack in Excel every week is what we retire.
