Save time analyzing volumes of data using a structured method to extract, model and create insights from your data
Key Features
- Master in using Excel’s Data Model and Power Pivot to connect and analyze multiple sources of data
- Create key performance indicators for decision making using DAX and Cube Functions
- Apply the knowledge to build an interactive dashboard that delivers key insights to your users
Microsoft Excel BI solutions have gradually evolved over the years to give users flexibility and more control in analyzing large volumes of data from multiple sources without stepping out of Excel. From the introduction of Pivot Tables, the x-velocity engine, the Data Model, Power Query, and Power Pivot, users of Microsoft Excel are now equipped to get, transform, model, aggregate, and visualize data using the world’s most popular spreadsheet
Data modeling with Microsoft Excel book offers a practical way to de-mystify the use and application of these tools using real-world examples and simple illustrations. The book will introduce to the world of Data Modeling in Excel, definitions, and best practices in data structuring (that is, normalized and denormalized data). It will then take a guided journey to make you understand the useful features of the Data Model and Power Pivot. You will learn the types of schemas, (snowflake and star), and create relationships within multiple tables. You will also understand how to create powerful and flexible measures using DAX and cube functions
By the end this book you will be able to apply the knowledge in a real-world case study and build an interactive dashboard for decision making
