Power Query and Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel:  A Quickstart Guide   Course Description   Copyright Ross Maynard 2022   Course Description Power Query and Power Pivot are two tools available in Microsoft Excel. If you are serious about data analysis, then you need to know how to use these tools. This Quickstart guide will give you the skills you need to get started with these powerful features. The Power Query tool allows you to import external data and then modify it to meet your needs, before loading it into Excel. These editing tasks are all things you can do manually in Excel, but Power Query greatly speeds things up when you have a large volume of data. The Power Pivot tool allows you to connect multiple data tables in an extended pivot table. Power Pivot also introduces new analysis and query tools to further enhance data analysis. If data analysis is your thing, then this course will help you get up to speed with these feature-filled tools. Through screen-capture video, the course provides a step-by-step guide to the foundation skills needed to use both Power Query and Power Pivot effectively. The course is designed to make your first steps into Power Query easy and to build your confidence to use them on your own. Both Power Query and Power Pivot are also available in Microsoft Power BI – the data visualisation suite.

The ability to link data tables together to create pivot tables that allow data to be drawn from any and all of the source tables The ability to clean and manipulate large volumes of external data efficiently and to load the result into Microsoft Excel The removal of Microsoft Excel’s restrictions on file sizes and the number of rows of data allowed The ability to visualise data in dashboards and management reports     Which of the following actions cannot be performed within Power Query? Split text into multiple columns Trimming text and removing spaces Creating calculated columns using DAX functions Make date based calculations   Which of the following statements is true? You can use Power Query to combine files that have the same format and open them all in the same spreadsheet You can use Power Query to link data tables and create pivot tables that pull data items from all the linked tables You can use Power Query to create interactive dashboard reports You can use Power Query to export data files to Microsoft Access and other databases     Which of the following provides a compelling case to use Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel? The data visualisation and presentation features of Power Pivot are much more powerful than those in Excel Power Pivot offers the ability to clean large files of data imported from other systems quickly Existing reports and tables can be “reverse engineered” (unpivoted) to create data tables for more advanced analysis Files sizes in Power Pivot are smaller than in Excel and there is no limit on the number of rows of data that can be stored. This makes it much faster and more efficient to use Power Pivot for large data sets     Power Pivot uses analysis functions from the DAX formula language. What does “DAX” stand for? Digital Architecture Extraction Data Arbitrage Extrapolation Display Analytics Extension Data Analysis Expressions Deeply Annoying Exercise   The DAX CALCULATE function is one of the most powerful and useful functions available in Power Pivot. Which statement best describes it? It performs row by row calculations defined by the user and adds the total of them all together for a specified table It performs row by row calculations defined by the user and displays the maximum result for a specified table It performs a defined calculation and then applies filters specified by the user It filters the data in a specified table according to criteria set by the user   As well as in Power Pivot in Microsoft Excel, in what application are DAX functions also available? Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Forms Microsoft Teams Microsoft Power BI   How do DAX functions differ from Microsoft Excel functions? DAX functions are designed specifically for use with SQL based data sources DAX functions are completely new and provide additional functionality within Microsoft Excel DAX functions never take a cell reference or a range as reference, but instead take a column or table as reference DAX date and time functions return a date as a serial number, whereas Excel date and time functions return a datetime data type

This highly practical one-day workshop has been designed specifically to help maximise sales where customers make contact by telephone. When customers contact us direct they have clearly already considered the possibility that they might buy from us, but we're still only half-way to making a sale. Unless we fully understand their needs and make it easy for them to buy, we may not secure the business. This workshop concentrates on the telephone skills and techniques needed to achieve the most positive outcome in any inbound customer call. A combination of excellent customer service skills and savvy sales awareness techniques will increase our chances of a successful outcome for both parties. The programme features the unique INBOUND model, to help remember the key principles for effective inbound telephone sales: Initial impressions Needs of the customer Bring them with you Open up the conversation Understand the triggers Narrow down the solutions Decision time! The programme also covers how to deal with difficult calls and challenging people - after all, every complaint is a sales opportunity! This programme will help participants: Create the perfect interaction with any customer making contact by telephone Make every call count Build rapport quickly in any situation Handle difficult calls and challenging people Create sustainable and profitable relationships Increase your sales conversions 1 The inbound sales process Each customer who contacts us will be at a different stage of the sales process. Some might be making general enquiries whilst others will be ready to commit, having made most of their decisions already. Sales and customer service people need to be ready to find out the stage the customer has reached before helping them to make the right decision for them 2 Engaging with the customer Having clarified where the customer is on their journey to making a purchasing decision, our next responsibility is to create and build a trusting relationship on both sides.

This includes probing objections so that we fully understand the customer's perspective before constructing suitable responses or solutions 5 Gaining commitment and ending the call Customers want to gain a solution to the issue they are facing and the sooner we can help them achieve that the better. Guiding the customer and helping them to believe in their own decision is part of our role.
