Overview of the most important tools in PowerPivot, Power Query & Power Map 2019 Add-ins
training code: EXPBI / ENG DL 3d / ENTraining dedicated to all persons whose task is to develop data from various sources for further analysis and reporting. Thanks to the tools available in Microsoft Excel, it is possible to improve and automate these tasks without the need to learn VBA. We especially recommend it to employees who prepare multidimensional analyses and reports.
Teaches independent creation of business analyses and reports based on Microsoft Excel tools and Power BI add-ons. Explains how to retrieve information into a data model using Power Query, aggregate and combine in the analytical model in Power Pivot, and then show in the form of interactive reports created with Power Map.
