Business Analytics Series - Power Query

Learn all about our Power Query Course. It is part of our Business Analytics Series!

Overview

Businesses have access to more data than ever before, yet one common frustration is the inability to combine and analyze data from diverse data types, sources, and formats.

This data variety results in data separation that prevents business managers from using all available information when making decisions. Bringing isolated data together encourages information sharing for more efficient and well-informed business decisions.

Spreadsheet software tools can assist with merging various channels of data.
