Excel: Power Query - How to Import and Clean Data Quickly

  • Training

  • 90 Minutes
  • Compliance Online
  • ID: 5974166
Do you import data into Excel from other sources (such as CSV files, text files, web pages, databases or SharePoint)? Does the data that you import need to be 'cleaned' before it can be used? (cleaning refers to things like removing duplicate rows, removing blank rows, removing unnecessary columns, converting case, changing date formats and more).

Do you spend more time than necessary performing data cleaning tasks?

Why Should You Attend:

If you work with, analyse and generate reports from large datasets, having a good understanding and working knowledge of Power Query is a must!

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

  • Importing data into Excel from sources such as text files, web pages and databases
  • Avoiding Excel’s 'million-rows limitation” by connecting to external data sources
  • Updating the imported data (when the source data changes) with two clicks
  • Creating Pivot Tables from external data sources
  • Using the Query Editor to quickly clean and transform data to make it usable
  • Using the Query Editor to create calculated columns

Who Will Benefit:

  • This training is aimed at users of Excel who wish to learn about Power Query. Attendees should have at least intermediate knowledge of Excel and be familiar with formulas and creating Pivot tables.
  • Important Note:
  • Power Query is only available for Excel 2010 and later for Windows. It is not available for Excel 2007 (or earlier), Excel Online or Excel for Mac. If in doubt whether this training is relevant for your version of Excel, please check with your IT department.
