Automate all your mundane repetitive data cleaning tasks.

A typical Excel report or dashboard goes through three essential phases.

  1. You get data from multiple sources, consolidate it, clean it (VLOOKUP, filter, add-delete columns or rows and a bunch of other mundane repetitive tasks.)
  2. Analyse it - Formulas, PivotTables
  3. Present it - Charts, Conditional Formatting, Sparklines, tables.


Nearly 80% of the time is consumed in performing repetitive data cleaning tasks.

And the worse part.. you've got to do this again tomorrow, next week, next month. In fact, each time you need to create the report.

Power Query converts these tasks into one click of a button. It is truly sensational.

Who is this course for?

  • If you spend countless hours cleaning and shaping data before it can be put to use, this course is a must for you.
  • Data Analysts, Finance, Accounts, HR and MIS / Operations Professionals can tremendously enhance their productivity through this course.
