PivotTables, Power Pivot, Power Query and Power BI

Power Query for Finance


     Duration: 60 minutes  
     Format: Interactive webinar  

Data rarely arrives in our inboxes in the format required; if you spend tedious hours each month manipulating and consolidating data, Microsoft's Power Query add-in may become your new best friend. Don't let its simple, friendly user-interface fool you: there's some serious welly in this engine. With a brand new formula language under the hood, it's no shocker that this little beauty serves as the perfect sidekick to analytical powerhouses like Power Pivot. What you may not realise, though, is that Power Query has just as much to offer when all you need is a way to speed up your daily data management chores in Excel.

The Power Pivot and Power Query series is in 7 parts. Each part is a one-hour webinar. Attend any or all. Book all 7 for 10% off. See Power Pivot agenda
