Learning Objective

  • Discover state-of-the-art data transformation skills.
  • Explore the AI (Artificial Intelligence) that Power Query brings us. 
  • Discover Power Query’s basic steps in data processing.
  • Identify three advanced functions in Power Query that will enable easy modeling in Pivot Tables.

Course Overview

Power Query stands as an essential instrument for streamlining data into desired formats. Its capabilities allow users to explore, link, merge seamlessly, and polish information from various sources and diverse formats to facilitate analysis and reporting.

This course is structured into four comprehensive parts to maximize your understanding and application of Power Query. This CPE course will briefly introduce Power Query, highlighting its popularity in Finance and Accounting. You'll learn why it's a game-changer: eliminating the need for tedious copy-pasting, breaking away from manual data processing, and integrating AI for advanced data transformation. Power Query bridges gaps left by Excel, offering instant consolidation that traditional methods can't match, and seamlessly feeds data into PivotTables and PivotCharts for efficient, self-service reporting.

Further, we’ll dive into six fundamental data transformation skills with Power Query. These include removing columns and rows, promoting headers, using the advanced query editor, querying from a folder, and adjusting data types. We’ll then enhance our productivity with three advanced functions: merging to replace VLOOKUP(), unpivoting data, and exploring AI and machine learning features in Power Query. Finally, we will culminate the course by mastering the concept of “Instant Consolidation,” a revolutionary feature that brings the efficiency of cloud-based accounting systems into Excel.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Data Transformation Challenges
  • Introduction to Power Query
  • Intermediate: 6 Essential functions from Power Query
  • Advanced – 3 More Functions in Power Query

Join this course to master advanced data transformation skills with Power Query, enhance your efficiency, and leverage AI for robust data analysis.
