Course Description

**This course includes practice exercise files**

Learn Microsoft Power BI and Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX in Excel in this two-course bundle from Microsoft experts Simon Sez IT.


We've combined two of our best data analysis courses to create this huge-value bundle. If you have reached your limit in Excel and you need to analyze and make sense of huge amounts of data, then you need Power Pivot, Power Query and Power BI. These tools can help you take your existing data-crunching capabilities to new heights!


Power Pivot, Power Query and DAX

In this advanced Excel course, we look at three crucial advanced Excel features Power Pivot, Power Query, and DAX. This suite of Excel functions allows you to manipulate, analyze, and evaluate millions of rows of data from Excel or other databases.

We first look at how to bring your data together, merge, and clean it using Power Query before moving onto creating relationships between our data tables and building out a data model. We then look at performing calculations on our data model using DAX, and finally, we look at displaying our analysis using PivotTables and PivotCharts.

***Exercise and demo files included***

In the Power Pivot, Power Query & DAX course you will learn:

  • How to get started with Power Query

  • How to connect Excel to multiple workbooks

  • How to get data from the web and other sources

  • How to merge and append queries using Power Query

  • How the Power Pivot window works

  • How to set up and manage relationships in a data model

  • How to create a PivotTable to display your data from the Power Pivot data model

  • How to add calculated columns using DAX

  • How to use functions such as CALCULATE, DIVIDE, DATESYTD in DAX

  • All about creating Pivot Charts and PivotTables and using your data model

  • How to use slicers to adjust the data you display


Power BI

Power BI is an incredibly powerful, self-service Business Intelligence (BI) solution from Microsoft. It is the perfect Business Intelligence tool for people with limited technical experience.

In this Power BI course, we start by looking at Power Query, and how to use this tool to organize and clean our data. We then show you how to build a Data Model and relate separate tables. After that, we teach you all about the data analysis language DAX in Power BI. Finally, we look at how to present this data using the charts and graphs available.

In the Power BI course you will learn:

  • What is Power BI and why you should be using it.

  • To import CSV and Excel files into Power BI Desktop.

  • How to use Merge Queries to fetch data from other queries.

  • How to create relationships between the different tables of the data model.

  • All about DAX including using the COUTROWS, CALCULATE, and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR functions.

  • All about using the card visual to create summary information.

  • How to use other visuals such as clustered column charts, maps, and trend graphs.

  • How to use Slicers to filter your reports.

  • How to use themes to format your reports quickly and consistently.

  • How to edit the interactions between your visualizations and filter at visualization, page, and report level.

Here’s what our students are saying…


"Very detailed course, really enjoyed the Power BI section. Simon has done a really good job explaining each process step. Looking forward to completing additional Power BI courses for advance techniques."

- Martin

"Brilliant course. I'm quite new to the world of POWER and this course has shown me what it can do in a way that a newbie can understand. Recommended. I will be looking for other courses by them."

- Andrew

"Extremely clear instructions and has framed the subject matter as usable in the real world as opposed to just an academic sample. I was exposed to Power Pivot in one of my classes in college but it was presented in a way that made it difficult to apply to my work. Glad I found this course!"

- Jeff

"The best course where you can get the knowledge from Advance Excel to Power Bi. Highly recommended for Excel data analyst."

- Sabari

It was great except that the parctice files were not in the source documents provided. These were missing. Kindly look into this to make our learning more interesting Thank you. I still need the file to practice thank you

By Charles Neuhofer on 12/22/2023

It was a little bit dated from when the course was made to when I took the course for software upgrades, and not all of the exercise material was included in the download zip file, but the course was very informative all the same. If the videos were re-done with the current software available, definitely a 5-star course.

By Philip Handke, CFA | Analyze Finance on 2/20/2023

This course is a great intro for those looking to break into Power Query, DAX, and Power BI. I've really enjoyed the examples and the pace that the course is taught at. Thanks and well done!

By Greg Chellgren on 7/6/2022

There are some differences between British / US handling of dates that are not addressed for US users of the course. Also - video speed has been slow. End of lesson questions could be a little more challenging. But course has been great thus far.

By Alessandra McConville on 3/9/2022

Really useful course covering aspects of Excel I'd not yet learned (Power Query, Power Pivot), DAX which I had no awareness of and Power BI which I had played with but really had not understood. PowerBI keeps changing so some of the options esp for formatting have changed since the course was published.

By Deborah Mulvihill on 2/23/2022

I appreciate when Alan comments on his best practices and explains why he recommends them. He also provides real use case scenarios that give a very clear understanding of why you might take one approach when transforming data, rather than another.

By Rachel Lambert Miller on 12/8/2021

Definitely a good course, worth the time and effort. No course can give you everything, but this course is a really good place to start and get going with Power BI. I will be taking other courses through Simon Sez IT.

By Andrew Dugdale on 6/4/2021

Brilliant course. I'm quite new to the world of POWER and this course has shown me what it can do in a way that a newbie can understand. Recommended. I will be looking for other courses by them.

By Michael Newsome on 5/31/2021

Amazing course! Alan is fantastic lecturer. Please email me with recommendations as to follow up courses you would recommend. In particular, i am keen to learn more about DAX, as i feel that setting up your data to work well is a much harder area than the actual visualizations

By Martin Paul Bannister on 5/21/2021

Very details course, really enjoyed the Power BI section. Simon has done a really good job explaining each process step. Looking forward to completing additional Power BI courses for advance techniques
