Learning Objective

  • To analyze how to create simple solutions to quickly clean and restructure less-than-ideal data.
  • To combine data from multiple datasets.
  • To discuss how to create additional columns without complex formulas.

Course Overview

Power BI is a great tool for building reports and dashboards against datasets of any size, but if you’re working with big data you need to make the right choices to be sure of getting good report performance. It's a known fact that raw data loaded into Power BI is hardly ever "report-ready" and requires "cleaning" to make it useable.

Unnecessary rows and columns need to be removed, data that isn't required needs to be filtered out, dates are never in the right format and often don't even date, columns require splitting or merging, and "weird" characters must be removed. These are just a few examples of what is meant by data cleaning.

If you’ve mastered the basics of Power BI and the phrase "it's taking too long" describes how you feel about the time it takes to get your raw data into the right format for your reports, this CPE/CPD course is for you!

Major topics covered in this CPD webinar:

  • An introduction to the Power BI Query Editor
  • Managing Query Steps
  • Removing columns from your imported data
  • Splitting a single column into multiple columns
  • Applying Filters
  • Cleaning date-based data
  • Cleaning text-based data
  • Calculations without formulas – the power of The Query Editor Ribbon
  • Unpivot – the hidden gem and unsung hero of The Query Editor

William Frazer, CPA (US)

A very useful presentation on how to more easily normalize data inside large data sets in Excel. No more using highly structured "mid( ) functions to split data in a column, or =concat( ) functions to join data. I highly recommend this course for accountants who rely on importing data from different sources into excel.

DR

Daniel Regan, CPA (US)

Really good intro to PowerBI. I learned that PowerBI is a powerful, very user friendly automation tool. I think every organization needs this software.
