Course Description

Excel Power Query Playbook: Repeatable Data Prep Without VBA is a practical ebook course for anyone who wants faster, cleaner, and more reliable data preparation in Excel. Instead of manual copy paste routines and fragile formulas, you will learn a repeatable workflow that turns messy files into refreshable tables you can trust for reporting, dashboards, and analysis.

Designed for the Information Technology category and the Office productivity stack, this course builds a Power Query mindset focused on consistency and automation. You will practice importing data from folders so new files can flow into your model with minimal effort, then combine multiple files into a standardized table that stays aligned even when sources change. Along the way, you will shape and structure data using pivot and unpivot patterns, smart column transformations, and step based design that makes each refresh predictable.

You will also learn essential cleaning and standardization techniques for real world datasets, including text normalization, date and number handling, and safe treatment of blanks and null values. As your projects grow, you will connect sources by merging queries, extend datasets by appending tables, and introduce parameters and dynamic inputs so the same query can be reused across periods, regions, or departments without rebuilding logic.

To help you work like a professional, the ebook shows how to create a library of common transformations you can reapply, how to design refresh strategies that respect privacy levels, and how to keep performance stable as data volume increases. When issues happen, you will know how to troubleshoot refresh errors, diagnose data type mismatches, and harden your queries for long term maintenance.

If you are ready to streamline Excel data prep with Power Query and build repeatable, refreshable workflows without VBA, start the course today and turn your daily data tasks into a reliable system.
