课程概述

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 Pivot. In this course, we will learn how to use Power Query to automate the process of importing and preparing data for analysis. We will see how Power Pivot revolutionises the actual analysis process by providing us with an analytical database inside the Excel workbook, capable of storing millions of rows, and a powerful modelling language called DAX which allows us to perform advanced analytics on our data. We will finish off by venturing out of Excel and introducing Power BI, which also uses the Power Query and Power BI architecture but allows us to create stunning interactive reports and dashboards. This is the third course in our Specialization on Data Analytics and Visualization. The previous courses: Excel Fundamentals for Data Analysis and Data Visualization in Excel, cover data preparation, cleaning, visualisation, and creating dashboards. To get the most out of this course we would recommend you do the previous courses or have experience with these topics. In this course we focus on Excel Power Tools, join us for this exciting journey. Please note that Power Query, Power Pivot and Power BI Desktop are only available on the Windows platform, so Mac users will require Bootcamp running Windows or a Virtual machine with a Window O/S. While Power Query is available as an add-in Excel 2010 and 2013, the tools have changed significantly, and this course has only been designed and tested for Excel 2016 and later. For an optimal experience, we recommend Office 365....

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.

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

The course seems good for learning Power Query, but it doesn't cover data modeling in enough depth. One video wasn't sufficient at all. There's also not enough coverage of DAX.

Good well explained videos but I think it could have been a little bit more thorough and the practice challenges could have been better. But overall a really good course.

The course content was excellent however the rushed pace of the videos made it loose spontaneity and flow with constant stopping and rewinding non conducive to learning.

Pertinent content, well laid out and competent and engaging instructor(s). Some hiccups with accessing the data files. All in all, I highly recommend.

Very useful systematic teaching approach from pivot table->Power Query->Power Pivot->PowerBi. Step by step guidance with good explanation. Worth it.

Good overview through power 1)Query 2)Pivot 3)BI

Pitty that Power BI and Pivot are not merged into one tool. Most likely licence+pricing issues :-)

It was a good course, I learned useful tools but it would be better if someone actually answered the question of the people who take the course.
