The Power Query Pro Course
Save Hours and Eliminate Frustration by Automating
Data Cleanup in Excel
We Now Live in a World
Of Data
Just about every action we take in our daily lives is recorded. Activities like taking a walk with our Fitbit, checking Facebook, replying to emails, navigating with our phones, and shopping online all create an abundance of data.
The companies we work for also create tons and tons of data! We have data about customers, vendors, competitors, employees, finances, and so much more...
In fact, most businesses spend over 80% of their time on data preparation. Leaving little time for analysis and, more importantly, decision-making!
So, what do we do with all this data? And how can we prepare it more efficiently and consistently?
Power Query to the Rescue
Microsoft has created a tool to transform and prepare data more efficiently. This tool is called Power Query (also known as Get & Transform), and it's revolutionizing the way we prepare data.
Extract and import data
From a range of external data sources (or Excel), including data of all sizes and shapes (without making changes to the source data).
Transform Data More Consistently
These transformations can be as simple as removing a column or filtering rows, or as common as using the first row as a table header. There are also more advanced transformation options such as merge, append, group by, pivot, and unpivot.
Cleanse and prepare data
As well as combine/stack (append) or join (merge) data sets, group & summarize (Pivot), and load data into your preferred storage option using data flows
Who is this course for?
This course is for the beginner to intermediate Power Query user that wants to learn new ways to get and transform data.
Power Query is an excellent way to cleanse data more efficiently. If you are currently stuck in a process of preparing data manually, without consistency, then this course is for you. We start with a bunch of raw data and prepare it step-by-step, so you should be able to follow along regardless of your experience level.
Experience with Excel, Power BI, or Power Pivot is NOT required for this course.
A Data Analyst's Dream
As Excel users, we are fortunate to be living through this revolution. Thousands of companies have already started adopting Power Query as their data transformation and preparation engine.
The best part is that Power Query is included in your Office 365 Subscription or "free" for Excel 2010 and 2013 for Windows.
