Course Overview

Pivot is an Excel add-in you can use to perform robust data analysis and create sophisticated data models. With Power Pivot, you can mash up large volumes of data from various sources, perform information analysis rapidly, and share insights easily.

This course is structured into four essential parts to guide you from a basic understanding to an advanced application. We introduce Power Pivot, highlighting its superior capabilities to conventional pivot tables. Discover how Power Pivot's ability to connect to over a million rows of data and seamlessly integrate multiple data sources eliminates the need for VLOOKUP() and expands your analytical horizons. We’ll also delve into the robust DAX formulas in Power Pivot, which can be reused to streamline your analysis.

In this course, we will also discuss essential techniques for mapping dimension and fact tables and combining data from various sources into a single pivot table. Building on this foundation, we introduce six fundamental DAX formulas—CALCULATE, SUMX, RELATED, SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR, and more—to help you create advanced models for effective analytics. Participants will learn best practices for Power Pivot modeling, emphasizing the use of Measures over Calculated Columns, proper table naming conventions, and DAX formatting to ensure your data analysis is efficient and precise.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Data Analysis Challenges
  • Introduction to Power Pivot
  • Intermediate – Integration in Power Pivot
  • Advanced: 6 Essential DAX Formulas
  • Advanced – Best Practices in Power Pivot Modeling
