10x YOUR PRODUCTIVITY IN EXCEL!

Do you need to combine data from different sources and report on it? Perhaps visualize the results with interactive Excel dashboards?

With Power Pivot and Excel’s Data Model, you can easily combine data from different sources. DAX enables you to write formulas that perform lightning-fast on large data.

If reporting on scattered data is something you need to do, then you’ll need to use Excel’s Power Pivot and data modelling tools. You’ll get the right start with this course.

Are You Able To Bridge The Gap Between A Spreadsheet Full Of Data And The Big Picture?

Excel users who deal with large amounts of data should be given a constant supply of Gatorade and gym towels.

Why?

Because transforming that data into meaningful reports can feel like being in an Olympic event. It is hard.

You sit there, Excel open on your computer, and groan at the sight of data everywhere.

You’ve got data spread across multiple tabs
You’re got data in a CSV file, SAP, or Oracle
You’ve got multiple tables that need to be combined into one

It’s like walking back into your home after your child’s birthday party.

“What a mess…”

So you roll up your sleeves and get to work. You know it’s going to be a late night, but the job must be done, right?

How to Bridge the Gap with Ease

Your Excel life will only reach that peaceful, Zen-state when you can bridge the gap between looking at data and presenting it.

And do it with ease.

After all, shouldn’t presenting data be the goal? What good is having data if you’re not going to present it, analyze it, and make decisions?

When you can bridge this gap, without pulling a hamstring, you finally achieve Excel nirvana.

Excel’s Data Model to the Rescue

Excel’s Data Model can relieve your burden of transforming data. It’ll do the heavy lifting, so you can get back to those thousand other tasks on your to-do list.

Specifically, a tool called Power Pivot.

Power Pivot is the second “power tool” in Excel’s power toolbox. Power Pivot is the engine that turns your raw data into useful metrics, which can then be presented via beautiful reports.

How I Discovered Power Pivot

Hi, I’m Leila Gharani. I’m a Microsoft MVP and have taught Excel to over 340,000 students through my courses.

Power Pivot has been around for a while, but I never thought I needed it. I didn’t create complex models in Excel. I created reports. Of course, that was the wrong thinking. But I didn’t know at the time.

A lot of the reports I created were based on data from different places. Some reports required complex logic to get the outcome we were after. They were time-consuming to create and maintain. I needed to use a combination of VBA and crazy functions to relate the data together so I could report on it.

That was the time I decided to “test” Power Pivot, to see if it could save me time from writing another VBA routine. As with most tools, there is an “easy” side to Power Pivot and an “advanced” side. The easy side was all I needed for that report. With just a few drag-and-drops and a few clicks my report was done.

No VBA, no formulas! It was that easy!

I was so excited by the possibilities that I went on to learn DAX which is the formula language of the Data model. With DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) you can create your own custom functions and KPIs. It all turned out to be so much easier than I’d imagined.

Today, I’d like to invite you to bridge the gap between fetching data and presenting it.

Introducing: The Mastering Power Pivot & DAX Course

This step-by-step online course helps you quickly create reports others might find impossible to do.

No longer will you run out of steam after importing your data.
No longer will you be asking, “What’s next?”, once you have your dataset prepared.
No longer will you struggle with VLOOKUPs, multiple pivot tables, merging datasets, and the many other problems faced by Excel users who haven’t learned PowerPivot.

Working for my client, a multinational manufacturing company, the head of procurement asked me to make a model to track the steel prices, as steel is a large component of their cost.

I have worked for the past 10 years as a management consultant and am considered an Excel expert by virtually all my clients and colleagues. My initial model was built without Power Query/PowerPivot. It took me at least 21 man-days to build as client requests changed and the model became increasingly complex.

In the final days of making the model, it became clear that although it worked, it was hardly sustainable: it took me 4 hours (I’ve got the recordings) to explain to the client how the model works and needs to be updated.

Around the same time, I started Leila’s DAX and Power Query course. Based on her teachings, I agreed with the client to rebuild the model, generating the same output but through PQ/DAX. It took me 10 full working days to set it up – including at least 70% of time just waiting for PQ to load the data, while I followed the courses. The result: a virtually fully automated report that was more dynamic than the first one.

After this second iteration, and being much more comfortable with PQ/DAX, I decided to build the same model with everything else Leila taught me while I was making the second iteration of the model. Now, using locally stored representative snippets of the client files (to avoid long loading times) I built an even better version of the report in under a day.

Bottom line: from a 21-day unusable model to a 1-day fully dynamic and automated report thanks to Leila. A steep learning curve, but I’ll never use Excel in the same way again.
