Applied Excel and Analysis Services e-Learning Course Available

BI solutions typically include a semantic layer. In Microsoft BI, the role of a semantic layer is fulfilled by Multidimensional cubes or Tabular models, whose virtues I extolled in this newsletter. If you invested in an SSAS model already, congratulations! You’ve done the lion’s share. But as you know, the next step is to train your business users and get them all excited about BI. This is not a simple task. And, if you plan to use Excel to offload reporting effort, the task is even more difficult because Excel is packed with BI features. This is why I put together a recorded e-learning “Applied Excel and Analysis Services” class. Having more than 5 hours of video content, the class sells for only $120 per student. And, if you use coupon PROLOGIKA-EXCEL-1 by end of October, you can get it for only $90.

To BI managers and BI developers: You’ve implemented an organizational Analysis Service model. Now you need to choose a tool for interactive data analytics and train your users. As you know, there is a proliferation of Business Intelligence tools on the market and each claims to solve your challenges. But the chances are that you already have what you need – Microsoft Excel. And, as far as the documentation goes, who has time to document all Excel BI features and demo them to users? I designed this class to help you empower your users and get them excited about BI with Excel and Power Pivot.

To business users: If your organization have Analysis Services Multidimensional cubes or Tabular models and you want to gain valuable insights from them, then this course is for you. Designed as a step-by-step tour, this course teaches you how to become a data analyst and unlock the hidden power of data. You’ll learn how to apply the Excel desktop BI capabilities to create versatile reports and dashboards for historical and trend analysis. You’ll learn also how to share your BI artifacts across the organization by publishing them to SharePoint. “I never knew Excel can do this” is the most common feedback we hear from our students.

The class curriculum and promo video is also available on the Prologika website.

Enjoy!
