Training on Big Data Analysis, Power Query, Power Pivot and VBA in Excel

This is only for very proficient Excel users. To qualify for this training, you must be in a role that requires complex daily or weekly reports, you must have above basic level knowledge of Excel and you must have Excel 2016 or above.

The highlights are:

• Working with Large Datasets using Power Pivot and Power Query
  • Too many people see their Excel struggle and slow down when handling large data. Some even think it is impossible to handle millions of rows of data in Excel. We help you cruise through those imaginary ceilings.
• Advanced Data Transformation and Task Automation with Power Query
  • Welcome Excel’s most revolutionary tool since the Pivot Table. With it you can natively connect to other data sources and automate data transformations.
• Data Modeling in Microsoft Excel
  • Getting the most out of your reports require setting the foundation right. We show you how to set your report models right and avoid common spreadsheet modeling issues.
• The Deep End of Formulas
  • Array formulas, SUMPRODUCT (the complex use of it), INDEX, SWITCH, IFS, etc.
• Advanced Tips and Tricks
  • Let’s show you what we’ve learned over about a decade of consulting and getting stuff done for large foreign and local companies report-wise.
• VBA (recording macros)
  • Break into automating repetitive tasks in Excel
• VBA (coding from scratch)
• Start doing the heavy lifting with VBA coding from scratch.
