Why study this course

Become an Excel Expert using the Power Platform! This course is intended to help advanced Excel users supercharge their Excel skills and learn multiple ways to boost productivity.

Learn how to work with large data sources, transform and clean data using Power Query, and create an advanced data model in Power Pivot. Take advantage of Microsoft Excel’s cloud automation, Office Scripts, and Power Platform to further automate your spreadsheet both in the cloud and on your desktop. You will also be introduced to Power BI and see how quickly you can turn your data into actionable insights with just a few clicks.

This course builds on what was learned through Microsoft Excel - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced courses. After completing this course, you may be interested in one of our Excel Specialist courses.

Note: Excel 2016, Excel 2019, Excel 2021, and Excel 365 are all desktop application versions of Microsoft Excel. Excel 2016, Excel 2019, and Excel 2021 are the perpetual, bought-outright, stand-alone versions of the software; Excel 365 is the subscription-based version. Anyone working with any of these versions will be able to successfully complete this course. Throughout this course you will be using the desktop app; the course does not cover use of the web/online app.
