Is it possible to analyse PowerBI cubes/datasets within Excel like it is with SSAS Tabular?

Our end users are very used to manipulate data with Excel pivot tables and I think they might prefer using Excel than jumping into PowerBI which is an entirely different experience.

 

I am not talking about exporting data into excel. Just browsing using a pivot table...

I would suggest making sure your version of Excel can do this as per the details below, which will allow them to easily connect to the data directly from Excel

Brilliant! Is this new?

Not really. There's been some version of it since early 2016. but they have expanded the feature to free license users more recently.
