Large imported datasets quickly hit Excel's limits. Power Query, called Get & Transform in Excel 2016, gets past them by letting you import and work with datasets of over a million rows from almost any source. This 90-minute Excel Power Query training shows how to put it to work.
Imported data usually needs cleanup before you can use it. Power Query does that faster than standard Excel tools, handles far more data and repeats the steps with a couple of clicks.
You'll import and link external data, clean and transform it in the Query Editor, add calculated columns, combine tables, unpivot data and build PivotTables from external sources, then produce consolidated monthly reports at the press of a button.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
If you analyze and report on large datasets, Power Query is a must-know tool. This introductory course gets you using it with confidence to clean, transform, consolidate and automate your data and reports.
It suits accountants and CPAs, CFOs, controllers and financial consultants, and audit, finance, HR, IT, marketing and supply chain professionals in banking, insurance, education, telecom, life sciences, aviation, energy and retail.
