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.

Accelerate Copilot adoption with up to 50% off training
The promise of AI and Microsoft 365 Copilot in particular is clear. Microsoft research demonstrates that Copilot adoption results in: Significant time savings across departments Improved efficiency in document creation and communication Enhanced employee satisfaction and reduced repetitive tasks Copilot boosts creativity and makes data-driven insights more accessible than ever before. But how can businesses realise these benefits at scale? As the 2024 Work Trend Annual Report noted: “We’ve come to the hard part of any tech disruption: moving past experimentation to business transformation. Just as we saw with the advent of the internet or the PC, business transformation comes with broad adoption.” Training drives effective AI adoption Key findings of a recent Australian Government trial of Microsoft 365 Copilot highlight the importance of AI skilling: Capability challenges were a key barrier to adoption; participants needed both tailored training that provided agency-specific use cases and general generative AI training in prompt engineering. 75% of participants who received three or more forms of training were confident in their ability to use Copilot -- 28 points higher than those who received just one form of training. Training enhanced confidence in Copilot use and was most effective when tailored to an agency’s specific context. Identifying specific use cases for Copilot could lead to greater use of Copilot.
