Overview

This course presents five use cases for specific data issues a user may encounter in Power Query (Excel version). Through hands-on examples, users are guided through the process of overcoming each of these issues.

Power Query is an “ETL” tool that extracts, transforms, and loads data. This tool has a user-friendly interface that enables the Excel user to connect to data sets they previously did not have access to. It also enables powerful data transformations without requiring any coding and will save the Excel user time in performing their cleanup of data.

This course is the tenth in a twelve-part series, Power Query: Beginning Data Analytics for the Excel User.
