Power Query - The Fast Way to Import and Clean Data in Excel
- Import data into Excel from sources such as text files, web pages and databases
- Avoid Excel’s "million-rows limitation” by connecting to external data sources
- Update the imported data (when the source data changes) with two clicks
- Create Pivot Tables from external data sources
- Create basic Queries to clean and transform data
Overview of the webinar
Do you spend time each month importing data into Excel from other sources such as CSV files, text files, web pages, databases and SharePoint?
Do you spend more time than is necessary getting your data into the right format for your reports, performing repetitive “cleansing and transforming” tasks such as removing unnecessary rows and columns, filtering out data that you don’t need, converting text to numbers or dates, splitting or merging columns, removing “weird” characters or combining files together?
Would you like to be able to do all of this with the click of a button?
With Power Query (known as Get and Transform in Excel 2016 and later) you can automate loading and updating external data into Excel and cleaning and transforming data. Of course you can also do all of this with macros but who wants to learn VBA when you can do it using the Power Query Editor with a much shorter learning curve!
Who should attend?
This training is aimed at users of Excel who wish to learn about Power Query/Get and Transform. Attendees should have at least intermediate knowledge of Excel and be familiar with formulas and creating Pivot tables.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Power Query/Get and Transform is available for Excel 2010 and later on Windows. It is not available on the Mac platform.
Why should you attend?
If you work with, analyze and generate reports from external datasets, having a good understanding and working knowledge of Power Query/Get and Transform is a must!
