In this video learn the basics of Data Analysis using Microsoft PivotTables, Power Query, Worksheet Formulas and Charts. Learn how to use Power Query to import data, use worksheet formulas to create the sales table (the data model), use the Standard PivotTable tool to build four sales reports, use a Slicer to filter your report, use the Chart tool to build a line chart to show sales trends over time, and finally use Power Query to refresh the reports when new data arrives.
Video compares a Standard PivotTable to a Power Pivot Data Model PivotTable and to Power BI Visualizations and Data Model. This video details how the data analysis process works in all three tools: Standard PivotTable, Power Pivot Pivot Table and Power BI Visualizations.
