Course Description

Reviews:

"In just the first few lessons, I have already been able to apply what I have learned at my job. Thank you for this course!" -- Cynthia Smith

"The Instructor is easy to understand and he gives exercises to test your understanding which is what I prefer rather than just listening to lectures. I will definitely take more of Mr Burton's classes as I like his teaching style." -- Tamuka Mazana

------------------

This course covers one of the most useful add-ins in Microsoft Excel,PowerPivot, and the Tabular model in SQLServer Analytical Services.

We'll activate PowerPivot if you have the right version of Excel, and if not, then we'll install SQLServer on your computer, which can dothe same job. We'll installthe Developer edition, which used to cost $100, for free.

After PowerPivot is activated, or SQLServer is installed, we'll create our first analysis in Excelin just a matter of minutes.

After only thesefirst few minutes, you will be streets ahead of anyone who doesn't know anything about Power Pivot.

After this introduction, we'll go into some detail into PowerPivot or SSAS- the initial data, and the various options that are available to you. We will go into advanced options that most people don't even know about, but which are very useful.

Then we'll develop DAXformulas, to further extend the model. A lot of the formulas are based on Excel formulas, but there are several additional things too.

By the end, you will be an Expertuser of both PowerPivot andSSAS, able to create reliable analyses which are able to be drilled-down quickly,and you'll beable to help others with their data analysis.

It will assist withthe Model Data sectionof Microsoftexam 70-779 "Analysing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Excel".

It will alsoassist withthe "Design a tabular BIsemantic model" and "Develop queries using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX)"sectionof Microsoftexam 70-768"Developing SQLData Models".
Who this course is for:
This course is for people who want to create analyses.
You either want to do this in Excel, or you want to learn about SQL Server Analytical Services (Tabular edition).
This course isn't for you if you want to learn SSAS (MDX version) - there are other courses for this.

By L, F. on 4/26/2020

It went from Excel to a Visual Studio project without any steps in between. Looking for my crystal ball to figure that huge leap out. Very poor. This really needs to be fixed.

By Mercedes de Bajeneta on 4/19/2020

Excelente el material del curso y la claridad de los conceptos

By Ron Reinhart on 4/11/2020

Was a very good basic, beginner course. I was mostly interested in SSAS Tabular, and I now have a need at work to apply what I have learned. I look forward to putting this to good use.

By Nick Zurlo on 4/6/2020

Enjoyed the course and learned a lot about setting up SSAS, SSMS, and PowerPivot. The exercises were not too challenging though and would have benefited from an difficulty boost to ensure one understands the content. Additionally the lack of knowledge checks and activities past Section 6 when going into the DAX language was a let down for me.
I'm not sure why the course stopped involving activities and didn't have a 'final project' to connect all of what was learned together but it would have been a 5 star class, to me, if that was the done.
Shout out to Phil as I did have a question during the course and he got back to be within a day and I appreciate all that he is doing as a content creator.
