Microsoft Excel: Business Intelligence w/ Power Query & DAX

About Microsoft Excel: Business Intelligence w/ Power Query & DAX

This course introduces Microsoft Excel's powerful

data prep, modeling, analytics

and

business intelligence

tools:

Power Query

,

Power Pivot

, and

Data Analysis Expressions

(DAX). If you're looking to become a power Excel user and absolutely

_supercharge_

your Excel analytics game, this course is the A-Z guide that you're looking for. I'll introduce the "Power Excel" landscape, and explore _what_ these Excel tools are all about and _why_ they are changing the world of self-service analytics and business intelligence. Together, we'll walk through the

Excel BI workflow

, and build an entire Excel data model from scratch:

First we'll get hands-on with

Power Query;

a tool to extract, transform, and load data into Excel from flat files, folders, databases, API services and more. We'll practice

shaping

,

blending

,

cleaning

and

exploring

our project files in Excel's query editor, and create _completely automated_ loading procedures inside of Excel with only a few clicks.

From there we'll dive into

Data Modeling 101

, and cover the fundamentals of database design and normalization (including table relationships, cardinality, hierarchies and more). We'll take a tour through the Excel data model interface, introduce some best practices and pro tips, and then

create our own relational database

to analyze throughout the course.

Finally, we'll use

Power Pivot

and

DAX

to explore and analyze our Excel data model. Unlike traditional Excel Pivot Tables, Power Pivot allows you to analyze

hundreds of millions of rows

across multiple data tables (inside of Excel!), and create

supercharged calculated fields

using a formula language called Data Analysis Expressions (or "DAX" for short). We'll cover basic DAX syntax, then introduce some of the most powerful and commonly-used functions – _CALCULATE_ , _FILTER_ , _SUMX_ and more.

If you're ready to take your MS Excel game to new heights and join the leading edge of analytics & business intelligence, this course is for you

. It's time to stop fighting with tedious, manual tasks and struggling with "old-school" Excel; join me on this journey and emerge a certified excel analytics NINJA. See you in there! -Chris (_Founder,_

_IMPORTANT:_

_Power Query and Power Pivot are currently NOT available in Excel for Mac. You'll need a PC version of Excel that is compatible with Power Pivot (Excel 2010 with plug-in, Excel 2013, Excel 2016, or Excel 2019 Standalone, Office 365 Pro Plus, Enterprise E3/E5, Office Professional 2016, etc.)_ __________
