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.

That was so funny, Luke. I love it.

A couple of years ago I discovered the wonders of power query and power pivot. The unfortunate problem with data visualization tools is getting people to adopt something other than excel so I've had to build 1 or 2 excel dashboards for clients against my better judgement.

Most sensible overview of spreadsheets I've seen I started using them 38 years ago. What Microsoft finally did is add RDBMS capabilities (Power Query) and quasi-multidimensional data management (Pivot Tables). So, it really is now a 3-headed monster: Spreadsheet, RDBMS and OLAP. Still can't compete with TM/1.

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.
