I personally took this Excel course in Coursera and I absolutely love it! This course introduced me to Power Query and building an interactive dashboard. I applied all the skills I’ve learnt into my current role and created a wow moment to my boss. I created an automated interactive dashboard and with just a single click on the refresh button, all the data is automatically updated. Highly recommend for someone looking to improve excel skills. I am hoping there will be another course released soon!

I followed a similar path. As a business analyst in a bank, my main tool to deal with huge amounts of data was excel. Processing files with almost a million rows per sheet was a daily routine. Vlookup here, sumifs there and you got your aggregations done. But it was cumbersome. Later, I wrote some vba macros in ms access to do all the dirty stuff of cleaning data, aggregating the data and exporting it into csv before doing analysis in excel. That was better but not optimal. One day, I was wondering if it was possible to overcome the 1 million rows limitation in excel, because I needed to create a new particular dashboard. I did some research and found powerpivot! Wow! That was the discovery of the century. It was so easy now to embed all the data in one file and do all the calculations there! Dax is so powerful. But again, archiving piles of data became tedious, so I learn how to use databases especially sql server. I created a data warehouse and linked all my excel to that database. Learned powerquery. The new challenge was to feed the warehouse daily: vba macros and tsql. Once you use power query and powerpivot, adopting power bi is just natural. Using excel can push you to learn lots of useful things but this app is so powerful that it’s difficult to drop it totally for other tools.

If you learned to store your Ms access tables in SQL and export only pivots that need graphs you’re done. As for excel have a look at Index function. Saw a functioning multiyears, multi clients financial dashboard working perfect with that instead of vlookup. Vlookup is fine for punctual replacement but doesn’t replace 2 mismatch queries and 2 joins.

At my current role, I’ve found it absolutely pivotal in teaching the data analysts how to use SQL to get out of excel, as we need to analyse billions of rows.

I don't think it's really an either/or decision on tools but use what is best for what you want to do. BI tools are good for repetitive stuff and automated distribution, but I use Excel a lot when I want to model more complex output that would take a bunch of coding to get right. You also tend to get a lot of data in Excel in the business so instead of importing it into a BI tool to analyze, you can just quickly pivot it straight on the source document to start looking at it. It's also good to know because it's pretty much universally available and in some companies you might not have access to the best available BI tools that will do everything you want.

I'm a data analyst with a computer science background, I work for a retail company for the last 5 years, I pretty much do everything using excel and power BI with little use of code, I think it all depends on the size of the business and the amount of data needed to work on, in my case we have an outsource to provide all the external data "competitors, market share, loyalty", I do not work on raw data at all but I believe when the day they stop the outsource I will have to integrate Python in all of what I do, Excel has no capacity to process this much data, TBH before being an analyst I've gad little knowledge about Excel, now I know everything, well maybe not everything yet, but I have a decent knowledge about most of its aspects!

Great video, 4:30 I'd say that 'Record macro' is a great tool for learning/remember commands but I don't remember ever using them directly. Tipically you will declare variables and at lest remove all the "Select" "ActiveSheet" and hardcoded logic.

@2:48 "...make it pretty so my boss thinks I've done some productive work." That truly seems to be a large chunk of the job! (At least from this non-data analyst, religiously watching through your channel!) Cheers! -Tim

I'm not interested whatsoever into being a data analyst, but I thought this video was super interesting. I didn't know VBA could automate the boring things across multiple spreadsheets. Likewise, I didn't know I could combine multiple hundreds worth of spreadsheets without crashing them via importing in the with PowerQuery. Thank you!

I do agree with most of the content, however I think VBA is under rated. As with any language program, the possibilities are "endless". As a data analyst you should fully become an advanced user of it, I'd say a master on it, thanks to the flexibility that VBA gives: you may connect java, SQL, python,etc to append for speed times/lack of functions that VBA does not have, but using Excel as a front end solution saves a lot of learning curves and development for user interfaces within our toolset.

Thanks for the video Luke, from my side, I think excel also lacks the statistical aspect of analysing deeply the data, also what I find missing in the video is the tool that makes the data updating automatically by using an API for live updates.

I'm also a data analyst, but I haven't used Excel in years. We call it a "ghetto" tool in my department. I only use SQL (SSMS/SSIS), Python, R, and Power BI. There is so much more power in those tools than in Excel
@LukeBarousse
@LukeBarousse 2 года назад
I can agree that there is a lot of power in those other tools

Great video. I use vba kind of by design because I don’t have access or permissions to use python or R. Was able to automate a bunch of tasks with it but if I am ever granted permission to use python I would convert my macros over to that language instead.
