This two-day training programme is an intensive data cleaning, data analysis and dashboard reporting course using Excel Power Query and Power Pivot. Participants must have basic to intermediate level knowledge of Excel such as  create Excel Table, create calculated columns in Excel Table, create table relationship, create and format PivotTable, perform calculations in PivotTable, create Calculated Field in PivotTable, create and format PivotChart, create slicer driven PivotChart as a prerequisite. Participants are encouraged to attend IT031C to obtain the prerequisite knowledge.

Software Installation and Laptop

As this class places strong emphasis on the hands-on experience, you will be working with data for the majority of the time in the class. To optimize the learning experience, it is mandatory for all participants to be equipped with a laptop, pre-installed with Microsoft Excel 2010, 2013, 2016 (full licence) or any latest version.

Programme Objective

Power Query is a business intelligence tool available in Excel that allows you to import millions of rows from many different of sources into the data model in a single Excel workbook, clean it, transform it, then reshape it according to your needs. With Power Query, you can get data from different sources using a graphical interface and apply transformations using a Power Query Editor. In this way, you can set up a query only once (all steps can be saved) and then re-use it later by simply refreshing it every time your data changes. This is not only allowed you to save your data cleaning time, but also will result in reduced manual errors.

Power Pivot allow you perform powerful data analysis and create sophisticated data models. It transforms an analyst’s ability to work with large amounts of related data, eliminating intensive lookup formulas and giving them a way to produce fast, repeatable analysis. With Power Pivot, you can import millions of records from multiple data sources into a single Excel workbook, create calculated columns using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) functions, create Data Model, create Key Performance Indicator (KPIs) to track performance against targets and create calculated measures that aggregate data from different rows on a PivotTable.
