Supercharge Your Excel Reporting With PowerPivot and Power Query

WHY ATTEND

Microsoft Excel Power Pivot and Power Query are game-changing tools if you’re familiar with any of these frustrations when working with data in Excel:

• Size limitations
• Pivot tables and Vlookup not working across multiple tables
• Having to rely on Access for advanced data analysis and reporting
• Manually getting data into Excel from external sources (copy, paste, copy, paste, repeat), or perhaps worse…spending hours “cleaning” imported data (trim this row, concatenate that column, reformat this section)

And, here’s the best part….they are FREE! In fact, most 2013 and 2016 Excel users already have access to PowerPivot and PowerQuery, but need to take steps to enable them.

Important:

Power Pivot is only available for Excel 2013 and 2016 for Windows in Office Professional Plus, Office 365 Professional Plus or the standalone editions of Excel 2013 & 2016. If you don’t currently have access to these versions of Excel, you are still encouraged to attend, but you’ll need to upgrade your version of Excel after the webinar to utilize what you’ve learned.

This webinar assumes a basic understanding of Excel formulas and Pivot tables.
