About This Course
The course is presented in four parts.
First, a brief introduction to Power Pivot and discuss reasons it has become more versatile than the conventional pivot table:
- Excel spreadsheet has a limit of 1 million rows, while Power Pivot can connect to over 1 million rows of data. So no limit on the data sources.
- Power Pivot can combine all data sources into one pivot table. So no more VLOOKUP().
- A plethora of DAX formulas in Power Pivot. Plus the formulas can be reused!
Second part is to demonstrate basic maneuvers on how to:
- map all dimension tables and fact tables together
- incorporate data from ALL sources into 1 pivot table
Third, we demonstrate 6 fundamental DAX formulas in Power Pivot to get you started in building advanced models for effective analytics, including:
- CALCULATE
- SUMX
- RELATED
- SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR
Last, we culminate the course with the best practices in Power Pivot modeling, including:
- Use Measures (or Calculated Fields) over Calculated Column
- Table naming conventions, and
- DAX format
