We then accelerate your learning with six advanced functions that boost productivity: file consolidation, gap filling, SUM operations without Pivot Tables, and dynamic row filtering. Finally, we introduce the concepts of “Instant Consolidation” and “Self-service Reporting,” teaching you how to automate the entire data refresh cycle with controlled period selection using Timeline. 

Major Topics Covered:

  • Instant Consolidation with Power Query
  • Quick Refresher to Power Query
  • Transformation of Data
  • Intermediate: 7 essential formulas in Power Query

Join this course to master instant data consolidation and automate your reporting with advanced Power Query techniques for greater efficiency.
