Excel: Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX
Discover Excel’s most powerful analytical tools
Learn how to use Power Pivot and the basics of Power Query and DAX to manage large amounts of data from multiple sources.
The Excel Advanced Level on Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX is an introduction to Excel’s most powerful analytical tools. The Excel user who works with multiple data sources and large data sets will see a significant increase in productivity and quality of reports. This level allows you to become more comfortable with the pivot table tools and turn them into interactive dashboards, as well as discovering the power of the Power Pivot extension. It is a gateway to Microsoft’s new analytical tools and new ways of managing data.
At this level, you’ll learn how to join multiple data sources to make dashboards. You will also discover how to fetch data from multiple sources and schedule manipulations of that data with Power Query. You will also get a taste of the computational power of DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) to create complex calculations that are not accessible with basic pivot tables.
This level is offered in 3 workshops of 2 hours each, online with expert instructors. It requires a commitment from the participants because of the intensity of its content, both during and between workshops. In order to stay on track, they will need to ensure that they have fully integrated the first two workshops before moving on to the third. Even if this level is demanding, the benefits it will bring are worth it and any advanced Excel user will find it worthwhile.
