Excel’s dashboarding capabilities empower users to transform raw data into meaningful insights.

Whether for business reporting, financial analysis, or project management, Excel dashboards provide a user-friendly and visually striking way to analyze, interpret, and communicate data effectively.

Building a dashboard necessitates data, which can originate from various sources like databases, CSV files, and web pages. Often, this raw data isn’t “fit for purpose” and requires cleaning, merging, and combining.

Does the phrase “it’s taking too long” resonate with your feelings towards the time it takes to format your data for reports?

Are you frequently performing repetitive, time-consuming tasks like “data cleaning and transforming”?

This includes removing unnecessary rows and columns, filtering out unneeded data, converting text to numbers or dates, splitting or merging columns, eradicating odd characters, or combining files.

Would you appreciate being able to accomplish all of the above with a single click? If your answer is yes, you need Power Query, also known as Get and Transform in Excel 2016 and later.

Learning Objectives: (Part 2 – Power Query’s)

• Calculations without formulas – the power of The Query Editor Ribbon
• Combining data using Append & Merge Queries (and the difference between them)
• Convert a single text string into multiple rows
• Un“ the hidden gem and unsung hero of The Query Editor

Online Webinar – Recorded  August 1st, 2019

Whether it’s an online meeting, a presentation via webinar, or live online training, engagement is the main question on everyone’s mind:

Will it be worth my time to attend, or
Will it be an opportunity to check email instead?

Online meeting technology is powerful and has made it easy to connect with people from anywhere in the world at any time, yet  professionals often still struggle with getting everyone to interact.

Interaction is the answer to successful engagement and using the features of the platform is the answer to interaction.

However, the features alone do not engage the participants. It is what you choose to do with those features that will make the difference in your next virtual training, webinar, or meeting.

During this session, you will learn what you can do to be successful in the virtual environment and avoid having everyone ask for a recording or a copy of the slides five minutes into your next virtual event.

In this session:

• You’ll analyze the activities demonstrated and brainstorm where the techniques could be applied to your virtual training programs.
• You’ll explore the specific challenges of managing the technology, and brainstorm solutions to the engagement problems you are likely to experience with your live online attendees when technical problems arise.

Activities are the key to your success. Through them you’ll learn to manage the technology, get attendees to actively engage, and help presenters have a great time too!

Application on the Job

• Define virtual learner engagement to effectively design the appropriate activities.
• Analyze activities for specific engagement techniques and feature usage to apply to your own activity design.
• Create your own customized activities for immediate use in your virtual classroom programs.
