As you point out, currently you can use Power Query or the Power BI Designer to author reports based on SQL Azure data sources. You can then publish these reports to the Power BI Service and refresh them, create dashboards on top, etc. We're considering improving this in the future to also enable "live connections" to the data source, without the need to import data from them as happens today.

Hi Pedro. The Designer will often have features in advance of Excel as it can be updated more frequently. However, we do want to push as much as possible into Excel in the future. To your point about on-premises deployments, there's another suggestion to support that here: http://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/6867727-use-power-bi-alongside-ssrs-on-prem-sql-server-201 so please add your support there!

Excel is still a core part of the Microsoft BI strategy. It's still a great place to capture and manipulated data and we will continue to enhance it with the new visualizations etc. that appear in the Power BI preview.

Visualizations can sometimes appear outdated and unappealing due to the lack of robust animation options for loading, interacting, filtering, and presenting. All visuals should offer animation options that can be controlled by report creators allowing for more dynamic and engaging visualizatio...
