Learn how you can generate rich and interactive dashboards that look like they have spent weeks in development, in only a fraction of the time.  Leverage Power Query in Excel to analyse and report key information.

Power Pivot, Power Query and Power BI are tools that enable database-like computational power on our desktops, firstly within the familiar environment of Excel, and then within Power BI as it takes, automates and elevates the process of reporting and generating dashboards.

This self-paced module will develop a sophisticated case study exploiting many of the powerful tools and functionalities within Power Query. Using hands-on examples throughout, you will learn how to convert mountains of data into key business information efficiently. Key management reporting, variance analysis and KPIs can be delivered faster than you can imagine.
