What is Antares?
Antares helps teams plan and execute Tableau-to-Power BI migrations with evidence instead of guesswork.
It analyzes Tableau workbooks and environments, identifies migration complexity, highlights blockers and warnings, and helps teams decide what to migrate, redesign, archive, or convert.
What Antares helps answer
Section titled “What Antares helps answer”Antares is designed to help migration teams answer practical planning questions:
- Which Tableau workbooks exist across the environment?
- Which workbooks are simple, complex, risky, or blocked?
- Which dashboards are still used and who owns them?
- Which workbooks should move first, wait, be redesigned, or be archived?
- Which candidates are suitable for conversion to Power BI?
Core workflows
Section titled “Core workflows”| Workflow | What it helps you do |
|---|---|
| Workbook analysis | Upload a single .twb or .twbx file for a fast migration-readiness assessment. |
| Environment analysis | Connect Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server to assess many workbooks with inventory, ownership, and usage context. |
| Migration prioritization | Use complexity tiers, blockers, warnings, and usage signals to plan migration waves. |
| Conversion | Convert selected Tableau workbooks into Power BI artifacts. |
| Fabric deployment | Deploy converted output to Microsoft Fabric when a Fabric connection is configured. |
How Antares works
Section titled “How Antares works”Antares follows an analysis-first migration workflow:
- Discover Tableau content and available metadata.
- Analyze workbook structure, dependencies, calculations, parameters, and data sources.
- Score migration complexity and identify blockers or warnings.
- Review portfolio-level and workbook-level results.
- Convert selected workbooks when they are good candidates.
- Deploy converted output to Microsoft Fabric when ready.
What Antares analyzes
Section titled “What Antares analyzes”Antares focuses on workbook structure and platform metadata, including:
- Dashboards, worksheets, stories, and workbook layout.
- Calculations, parameters, table calculations, LOD expressions, and feature usage.
- Data source references and workbook dependencies.
- Projects, owners, users, and groups.
- Usage signals when Admin Insights or Tableau Server Repository access is available.
Who uses Antares
Section titled “Who uses Antares”Antares is designed for:
- BI teams planning Tableau-to-Power BI migrations.

- Analytics platform teams assessing inventory, usage, and risk.
- Teams validating migration effort before committing delivery resources.
Product areas
Section titled “Product areas”| Product area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Analyzer | Assess Tableau workbooks and environments, then review migration readiness reports. |
| Converter | Convert selected Tableau workbooks into Power BI artifacts with logs and downloadable outputs. |
| Connections | Connect Tableau and Microsoft Fabric for environment analysis, usage context, and deployment. |
| CLI & programmatic access | Use personal access tokens and the CLI for automated analysis workflows. |
Boundaries
Section titled “Boundaries”Antares helps identify what can be automated and what needs review, but it does not guarantee that every workbook converts automatically.
Converted reports should still be validated before production use.
