Trainer recommendation

Gémes Brigitta trainer
The primary target audience for this course includes business analysts, logistics analysts, controllers, and report creators. We also welcome anyone who feels they’ve exhausted Excel’s traditional capabilities and are looking for a stable solution for data analysis. During the training, participants will learn how to import large volumes of data from multiple sources into Excel, connect them, and analyze them effectively using PivotTables—without VLOOKUP or macros!
Description
The course aims to introduce the student to the use of Microsoft PowerPivot. Using PowerPivot as a "self-service BI" solution, Excel is able to manage up to 100 million records (rows) and analyse them faster with data available in one or more spreadsheets. By the end of the program, the user will have learned the basics of managing PowerPivot and how to build a data model to effectively analyze data using Excel on their own.
