Part 1
This hands-on course introduces Finance and Accounting professionals to Power Query — Excel’s powerful tool for automating data transformation and consolidation. Say goodbye to copy-pasting, file links, and repetitive tasks. Instead, learn how to streamline your workflows and enable self-service reporting with AI-powered tools.
The course is delivered in four parts: an overview of Power Query’s advantages, six core data transformation techniques, three high-impact bonus functions (including VLOOKUP replacement), and finally, the game-changing concept of “Instant Consolidation” — a feature previously only found in cloud-based systems. Basic Excel skills required.
