About This Course

Master how to automate repetitive tasks, shape and transform data with Power Query and present reports with Power View

What's the course about?

Power View is a data visualization tool that enables the creation of interactive charts, maps and other visuals that bring your data to life in stunning reports.

Power Query is an intuitive tool that lets you manipulate, transform, consolidate, enrich, merge and do much more with your data.

Power Query acts as an "ETL" tool which means it Extracts data from almost any data source, Transforms that data and then Loads it - in our case that's either an Excel worksheet, Power View report or Power Pivot data model.

Here's what other thought about the course:

"Very enjoyable course with many real world examples. Gilly's enthusiasm for the Microsoft Wizardry is wonderful and spurs you on to master it. I look forward to more courses by Gilly!"

- Douglas Paterson

"Very easy to understand"

I am a collector of Gilly's courses (I have six of them). The only thing I regret is I found her courses too late...I strongly recommend Gilly's courses to all people with different levels...The only difference between Gilly's works and other "ten days to become Excel Master" courses is the bizarre underestimated values...My best wishes for Gilly to reach out to a much bigger community for Excel users.

This course has helped me to produce insightful dashboards using power view. I have helped my boss answer some key data question using the map chart and other key functions learnt from the course.

This course will make you work smarter with messy data. It will help you present the data with elegance and flair with a few mouse clicks.

Thank you Gilly for making this brilliant course. Gilly's other courses on Udemy are brilliant as well.

This course exposed many useful tools that I will be able to implement into my work immediately, as well as opens new doors on my resume. I cannot overstate the very thoughtful course design that Gilly uses, as well as her very detailed teaching. I will definitely be taking more of Gilly's courses in the very near future.
