Excel Power Query: The Powerful Get & Transform Tool for Importing and Manipulating Data

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Large imported datasets quickly hit Excel's limits. Power Query, called Get & Transform in Excel 2016, gets past them by letting you import and work with datasets of over a million rows from almost any source. This 90-minute Excel Power Query training shows how to put it to work.

Imported data usually needs cleanup before you can use it. Power Query does that faster than standard Excel tools, handles far more data and repeats the steps with a couple of clicks.

You'll import and link external data, clean and transform it in the Query Editor, add calculated columns, combine tables, unpivot data and build PivotTables from external sources, then produce consolidated monthly reports at the press of a button.
