Power Pivot Tools Data handling

Using Power Query to Get Data

Data is everywhere. For example, if you run a website, you’re collecting data continually and you may not even know it. Every visit to your site generates information that is stored in a file on your server. In the same way, every system in an organization collects data and stores it. And, of course, some other data is also collected and stored manually in different file formats. These files contain lots of useful information, if you know how to import them and merge them into Excel.This lesson equips you with the ways to get data into a worksheet and provides some tips to help you clean it up.

Data Modelling with Power Pivot

Power Pivot Data Modelling enables you to import millions of rows of data from multiple data sources into a single Excel workbook. It allows you to import data from multiple sources into one single source workbook without having to create multiple source sheets that suffer from version control and transferability issues. In this lesson, you will learn how to model your data, create relationships between heterogeneous data, create calculated columns and measures.

Enhancing Power Pivot with Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts

In this lesson, you will `learn how to use Power Pivot to build PivotTables, Pivot Charts and KPIs then further analyse the data so that you can make timely business decisions without requiring IT assistance to run multiple queries on your Database. A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is designed to help evaluate the current value, status, and trend of a metric.

Expanding the Data Model in Power Pivot

In this lesson, you will learn how to view and create hierarchies from table columns in Diagram View.You will also learn how to build a PivotTable in Excel that combines data from multiple tables, how import data, how use the Power Pivot add-in to refine the data model that lives behind the report, and how to add calculations, hierarchies, and optimizations for Power View reporting.
