About This Course

Master Excel Power Query, Power Pivot & DAX for advanced data analysis & business intelligence w/ a top Excel instructor

This course introduces Microsoft Excel's powerful data prep, modeling, analytics and business intelligence tools: Power Query, Power Pivot, and Data Analysis Expressions (DAX).


If you're looking to become a power Excel user and absolutely supercharge your Excel analytics game, this course is the A-Z guide that you're looking for. I'll introduce the "Power Excel" landscape, and explore what these Excel tools are all about and why they are changing the world of self-service analytics and business intelligence.


Together, we'll walk through the Excel BI workflow, and build an entire Excel data model from scratch:


  • First we'll get hands-on with Power Query; a tool to extract, transform, and load data into Excel from flat files, folders, databases, API services and more. We'll practice shaping, blending, cleaning and exploring our project files in Excel's query editor, and create completely automated loading procedures inside of Excel with only a few clicks.

  • From there we'll dive into Data Modeling 101, and cover the fundamentals of database design and normalization (including table relationships, cardinality, hierarchies and more). We'll take a tour through the Excel data model interface, introduce some best practices and pro tips, and then create our own relational database to analyze throughout the course.

  • Finally, we'll use Power Pivot and DAX to explore and analyze our Excel data model. Unlike traditional Excel Pivot Tables, Power Pivot allows you to analyze hundreds of millions of rows across multiple data tables (inside of Excel!), and create supercharged calculated fields using a formula language called Data Analysis Expressions (or "DAX" for short). We'll cover basic DAX syntax, then introduce some of the most powerful and commonly-used functions – CALCULATE, FILTER, SUMX and more.


If you're ready to take your MS Excel game to new heights and join the leading edge of analytics & business intelligence, this course is for you. It's time to stop fighting with tedious, manual tasks and struggling with "old-school" Excel; join me on this journey and emerge a certified excel analytics NINJA.


See you in there!

-Chris (Founder, Maven Analytics)


IMPORTANT: Power Query and Power Pivot are currently NOT available in Excel for Mac. You'll need a PC version of Excel that is compatible with Power Pivot (Excel 2010 with plug-in, Excel 2013, Excel 2016, or Excel 2019 Standalone, Office 365 Pro Plus, Enterprise E3/E5, Office Professional 2016, etc.)

Over the past seven years, I’ve taken many courses on Udemy, and I could honestly say this one stands out as the best. The content is exceptionally clear, highly relevant, and immediately applicable. It’s one of those rare courses that I could recommend to everyone—from Excel novices to seasoned veterans. The concepts are accessible to beginners yet packed with insights that allow advanced users to push their skills even further by utilizing some of these concepts beyond what is taught. I came away with plenty of ideas to streamline ongoing projects at work and can’t wait to wow some of my colleagues with what I’ve learned.
This course is a must for anyone involved in analytical work. One of its standout qualities is its brevity—it’s much shorter than similar courses I’ve taken, yet it doesn’t sacrifice depth or clarity. The material is concise, to the point, and highly practical, moving efficiently from one topic to the next. I completed it in just six days and feel confident in applying what I’ve learned—something I have not always experienced with other Udemy courses.

Le volume du son est très faible, j'ai du mal à bien entendre ce que dit le formateur.

A refresher course on Power Query, Power Pivot and Dax where I was able to still learn new things. If I new better, I would have first stated with his course "Microsoft Excel: Advanced Excel Formulas & Functions" before enrolling for this one since I felt like it would have helped much especially on section 5 and 6. Overall, top!

Nono pensavo di riuscire a completarlo. Invece mi sono ricreduto, perché le lezioni sono chiare anche a chi non è esperto.

3/5:
-Presenter - 5/5 knowledgeable and good explanations
-Volume - 1/5 too inconsistent. Most of the time it's very hard to hear. You'll definitely rely on captions.
-Content - 2/5 the concept and ideas are there, but the version of excel used in this topic is an old one. Excel as of this moment looks very different than the visuals used.
