About the Course

Welcome to Excel Power Tools for Data Analysis. In this four-week course, we introduce Power Query, Power Pivot and Power BI, three power
tools for transforming, analysing and presenting data. Excel's ease and flexibility have long made it a tool of choice for doing data analysis, but
it does have some inherent limitations: for one, truly "big" data simply does not fit in a spreadsheet and for another, the process of importing
and cleaning data can be a repetitive, time-consuming and error-prone. Over the last few years, Microsoft have worked on transforming the
end-to-end experience for analysts, and Excel has undergone a major upgrade with the inclusion of Power Query and Power ...

Very useful course. Learning a bit of power query sped up the amount of time it takes for me to generate reports. Also makes the process more repeatable, and less prone to errors. Great job!

Great explanation of every detail throughout the course. But I thought I'd let you know that there is a typo in the answer for the achieved % target in the Week 2 Practice challenge.

It's a great course. The instructor explains complex concepts and different features in an easy-to-understand way. The only thing I don't understand is why they dedicated the whole week to Power BI in the course about MS Excel. I would rather learn and practice more advanced Excel features. Also, it would be incredible to have examples and scenarios with some statistical calculations as it's often part of the Data Analyst role.

The directions, assessments, and tutorials were very well organized. The correlation in update of software was not quite accurate. Some of the features shown in power bi were not the same as what is currently available in power bi, such as conditional formatting and visual format features.

It was an excellent course for online. I believe I could have done better if I was able to interact with others on the more challenging areas with in the course to increase my understanding especially since my version of Power BI is different from the instructors.

Great course to begin learning about power query, powerpivot and power BI. They don't go that deep, but it covers lot's of suff to know what it is all about. Totally recommend if you are new to those tools.

There were some cases in the Power BI that did not work the same way as the version I had. When I answered the test questions according to my version, it was marked as incorrect, when it did work in my version
