Data Analytics using Excel and Power BI Training Course

Organizations are flooded with spreadsheet extracts, manual reconciliations, and dashboard requests, yet many teams still struggle to turn raw files into decisions they can defend. Data analytics using Excel and Power BI is the practical discipline of preparing data, modeling it, and presenting it through reusable reports and dashboards. It enables professionals to clean inconsistent datasets, calculate reliable metrics, and communicate trends with evidence.

This course bridges that gap with hands-on work in Microsoft Excel, Power Query, Power BI Desktop, and DAX, while reflecting the growing pressure to automate routine reporting and reduce manual errors in data workflows. It is designed for analysts, finance officers, reporting specialists, operations supervisors, and business managers who need accurate dashboards, monthly performance packs, and decision-ready insights. You will work toward outputs such as cleaned datasets, pivot-based summaries, KPI dashboards, and an insight report that supports leadership action.

About the Course

In data analytics using Excel and Power BI, organizations want results they can prove, not just charts that look polished. That means you must show data cleansing discipline, data modeling accuracy, DAX measure design, dashboard readability, and report consistency using tools such as Power Query, Power Pivot, and Power BI Service. This course focuses on the practical capability to build trustworthy reporting from messy source files and to explain what the numbers mean in operational terms.

The course turns scattered spreadsheet habits into a structured analytics workflow. You will practice data profiling in Excel, transformation in Power Query, relationship building in Power BI data models, and measure creation with DAX, while also being introduced to dashboard publishing in Power BI Service and row-level security at an overview level. What you will learn: you will clean and shape data, build calculated measures, design interactive dashboards, and prepare reporting packs that support performance review. You will practice the core workbook-to-dashboard workflow hands-on, while advanced governance and sharing topics are covered at a practical orientation level. This is a course for professionals who need reliable analysis under time pressure, limited data quality, and recurring reporting demands.

Many teams face constraints such as inconsistent source files, competing deadlines, and limited analyst capacity. This course is built for that reality, so you can create repeatable reporting routines with Excel and Power BI without needing a long implementation cycle or a specialized data engineering team.

Business Results You Can Expect

How participants put this to work the week after training — and the measurable return their organisation can plan for.

How participants apply this

In Portugal, participants typically use Excel to clean exported data from ERP, accounting, sales, or operations systems, then use Power Query to standardize fields and combine monthly files. They build pivot-based summaries and KPI trackers for recurring reporting packs, especially where teams still rely on manual reconciliations. In Power BI, they turn those prepared datasets into interactive dashboards that managers can filter by branch, period, product, or region. The course is especially useful for analysts and supervisors who need faster reporting cycles, fewer spreadsheet errors, and a consistent way to explain performance to leadership.

Expected ROI

Within 6–12 months, the most visible return is usually less time spent preparing recurring reports and fewer errors caused by manual copy-paste work. Teams also tend to gain more confidence in the numbers because the same cleaning rules, calculations, and visuals are reused each reporting cycle. For managers, the business value is faster access to trends, exceptions, and performance gaps that would otherwise be buried in spreadsheets. The ROI is strongest where reporting is frequent, data comes from multiple files, and several people currently maintain different versions of the same analysis.

No. Excel and Power BI can be used effectively without programming, and the core skills are data cleaning, structuring, visualization, and basic calculation logic. Some learners later extend their work with SQL or more advanced DAX, but that is not a prerequisite.

Yes. The course is designed around recurring reporting tasks such as monthly performance packs, KPI dashboards, and summary tables. Participants learn how to create repeatable workflows so reports can be refreshed instead of rebuilt from scratch each month.

It does both. Power Query inside the Power BI workflow is commonly used to clean and reshape data before analysis, while the report layer is used to visualize trends and KPIs. That makes it suitable for end-to-end reporting workflows.

It reduces errors by replacing ad hoc manual steps with structured transformations, reusable formulas, and model-based calculations. That lowers the risk of inconsistent totals, broken links, and version mismatches across reports.
