Event Description

Need to do time tracking of various staff on various projects? Need to download reams of data from an online data source? Now you need to make sense of it all! Through this workshop, you will learn how Excel will capture potential data errors, minimize input errors, and then automate the updating of datasets into Excel tables, and then into Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts. You will also learn strategies for collecting and validating data with tables; understand how to automate the collection and cleaning up of data using Power Query, and then how to analyze with Pivot Tables; how to create dashboards for visually displaying data and using slicers to quickly filter and change graphical reports; and also learn how to use the new Excel’s Business Intelligence (BI) Tools that can make updating and analyzing data a breeze.
