Free workshop: Excel Power Query PDQ!

1 hour to Power Query in Excel (PDQ = Pretty Darn Quick!)

It’s the most exciting Excel development in a generation… but you’d be forgiven for not knowing about it!

Overview

This free one-hour workshop will serve as an introduction to Power Query in Excel:

• How tables serve as the “missing link” between Excel and Power Query
• How Power Query serves as an “extract, transform, load” tool
• How to load your first data sources into Power Query… including how to find the menu for this (not so easy!)
• How to explore and profile your data right from Power Query
• How to perform repeatable data cleaning operations… no code or formulas required.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants to end poorly-designed Excel workbooks once and for all and make the most of their data! Typical job titles might include:

• Data analysts
• Financial analysts
• Marketing coordinators
• Accountants
• Controllers
• Operations analysts

To make this workshop extra practical, we will be using real world business data throughout.

Prerequisites
