How to find a Power BI freelancer to connect Excel calculations to Power BI

[Humanity]

Please forgive me for being a complete & total newb to Power BI.

I'm making a PowerApp that must use Excel for calculations because the workbooks have 1000s of formulas in them. PowerApps can't directly read/write into excel tables that have formulas in them. So it looks like learning Power BI is my only option.

Example:

#1 User puts into PowerApp they have 10 Happy Pops.
#2 Excel Table 1 is updated with a total of 10 in the Happy Pops column
#3 Excel Table 2 reads Table 1 and does the caclcuations and generates 3 outputs (Total sugar, total value, number of cases)
#4 _______???________
#5 PowerApps displays calculation results to user in individual text fields

I would like to pay someone to show me how to do this.

I found Upwork & Freelancer had some really good people.  Not being a tech industry pro, I wasn't sure where else would be considered popular.  I will leave this post up after this. If so maybe we can put down if we found any other that worked out to help us solve single problems, or get 1-on-1 quick training help on short notice.

This is not that difficult, but I am not sure what it has to do with Power BI.  You should just have Power Apps do the calculations. If that is not possible for some reason, you need to ask this question inthe Power Apps community with a lot more information than provided here.

If I've misunderstood how Power BI fits into this, please clarify where you see Power BI fitting into this.

PowerApps isn't good for heavy calculation sets, Power BI or SQL is usually used.  The excel trick is just to demonstrate concents of really complex calculation sets, in order to visualize before committing to an end product.

A paid Microsoft certified freelancer told me that there is a way to do what I proposed using, but there would be a limitation on how many updates Power BI can perform in a day, even if you are forcing the updates, unless you get a Power BI Premium license ($5000/month).

Since the solution is forking into two directions, I will close this here now.  If you found this post because you were trying to get excel to perform your complex calculations. Till, further notified I definitely encourage focusing on Power Automate instead of BI, beacause of the daily push/pull limiations of Standard & Pro service levels.  If you already have a Power BI Premium license, then I would use it with Power Automate where you need, and use the real-time feed to your advantage.
