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 impactful way to analyze, interpret, and communicate data effectively.
Building a dashboard requires data. That data can come from a variety of sources such as databases, CSV files and web pages. In many cases, that raw data is not âfit for purpose. It requires cleaning, merging and combining.
Does the phrase "it's taking too long" describe how you feel about the time it takes to get your data into the right format for your reports?
Do you regularly perform repetitive time-consuming "data cleaning and transforming" tasks such as removing unnecessary rows and columns, filtering out data that you dont need, converting text to numbers or dates, splitting or merging columns, removing "weird" characters or combining files together?
Would you like to be able to do all the above with the click of a button? If the answer Is yes, you need Power Query (known as Get and Transform in Excel 2016 and later).
