Modern organisations all generate and have access to large amounts of data. Businesses need to analyse accounting data, marketing data, service data, budget data, human resources data, manufacturing data, and organisational data, among others. They do so in order to analyse historical performance data v budgets, measure, track and predict sales, optimise processes and operational performance and more. By using PowerPivot and Power BI you can analyse data in ways that go way beyond Excel: you can get more done in less time. PowerPivot is arguably the best new feature to hit Excel in 20 years. Power BI is another fantastic resource for data analysts. PowerPivot is now native to Excel and it enables users to manipulate huge data sets coming from different sources in the most efficient way. Power BI is a visualisation tool that generates the most dynamic reports at an end user level. The need to have IT support to import, sort and manipulate data can be part of your distant memories after the full understanding of PowerPivot and the various applications as it blends together all the power of Business Intelligence (BI) along with the user friendly environment of Excel. You will master many BI tools. The value added you will take back to your organisation after attending this couse is immense. Microsoft’s plan is to “bring Business Intelligence to the masses” and PowerPivot, then Power BI, is their first step in the plan. Millions rows can be imported directly and quickly from your databases straight into PowerPivot, giving users tools that still do not exist in standard Excel. In PowerPivot you can read data from different ranges to combine them in one pivot table. As an example, a normal pivot table can start choking with even 50k rows of data. One PowerPivot can easily handle data comprising as many as 200 million rows. It is powerful! PowerPivot is a real revolution inside the world of data analysis because it gives you all the power you need to perform complex analysis of data without requiring the intervention of BI support staff.
