Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX in Excel

  • DURATION: 3.44 hours
  • VIDEOS: 44
  • LEVEL: Advanced

In this advanced Excel course, we look at three crucial advanced Excel features Power Pivot, Power Query, and DAX.

This suite of Excel functions allows you to manipulate, analyze, and evaluate millions of rows of data from Excel or other databases.

We first look at how to bring your data together, merge, and clean it using Power Query before moving onto creating relationships between our data tables and building out a data model. We then look at performing calculations on our data model using DAX, and finally, we look at displaying our analysis using PivotTables and PivotCharts.

If you’ve reached a point where you need Excel to work with data at scale, then these tools will unlock that capability.

This course also includes practice exercises and follow-along files so you can build your data models as we go.

In this course you will learn:

  • How to get started with Power Query
  • How to connect Excel to multiple workbooks
  • How to get data from the web and other sources
  • How to merge and append queries using Power Query
  • How the Power Pivot window works
  • How to set up and manage relationships in a data model
  • How to create a PivotTable to display your data from the Power Pivot data model
  • How to add calculated columns using DAX
  • How to use functions such as CALCULATE, DIVIDE, DATESYTD in DAX
  • All about creating Pivot Charts and PivotTables and using your data model
  • How to use slicers to adjust the data you display

What people are saying

"Everything is well explained and detailed plus the pre-prepared downloadable exercises are a great help."

Kenneth Kludjeson

"I was able to learn a lot from this course and to do so at my own pace. I was able to review areas where I needed more time than someone more advanced than I. For the monetary investment, this is a great course for beginners."

David F. Wilson

"I enjoyed to course and it was presented in an orderly fashion with incremental information that gave an intuitive feel to the progression. Thank you."

John Brown

"The instructor goes slow, covers everything (even how to save, print, etc) and gives relevant examples. Great course for someone who has never used excel before or for people who want to make sure they know how to use every feature. Well worth the money as you will become more productive and efficient with Excel."

Leigh Ann Cross

"Course is well done and since you can go back and review at any time or after the course is done is helpful for us slow learners"

Rick Clarke

"The overall course has a nice progressive layout and the presenter knows what he is teaching."

Eric Cobb

"This material is very easily laid out and relevant. I have obtained many tips that will help me to become much more productive in my Excel use!"

Mark Carson

"I have some experience with Excel, but this course really helped me know the functions available in it and how to use them. The instructor explains the subject very patiently and clearly, so the student can follow along and master the details. "

Vikram Hegde

"I like the way the teacher structured the course and again for making the files available, so we could work on them together with him."

Brandon Silva

"Generally, I wouldn't find this type of course all that interesting. However, I have found in my current job search that it is a necessary part of my tech skill set in which to become proficient. So, I'm very appreciative that courses like this are offered, and taught by an extremely knowledgeable instructor, who explains lessons clearly and offers opportunities to practice the theme which he has just gone over. He was thorough, and not in the least bit condescending, which I can't say for instructors I have had in the past. So, thank you."

Mary Price

"It's informative & detailed enough without being overly drawn out. The presenter has given a thorough introduction to Excel for the prescribed audience. Although I am far beyond the audience level targeted by this Course, from this position, I can appreciate better the thoroughness and layout. Well done."
