Friends & Foes: What does it mean to be an Excel power User?
Speaker: Austin Senseman, CFA
Topic Summary
As an Excel Pro, you’ve got lots of friends - all of those people you support with your fast reporting, the accountant down the hall who you showed a pivot table to for the first time, your boss who you introduced to slicers, etc. But as an Excel Pro you also have lots of enemies that you might not even know about (or maybe you do know about them!). This session is all about learning to make new friends as you step up your game with the new “Power” tools in Excel. To everyone else you’ll become much more than “just an Excel user” although deep down in your heart Excel will still be your first love. We’ll “touch on” Power Pivot, Power Query, Power BI, SSAS Tabular, & DAX – this will not be a technical talk.

I have left my cozy financial services cubicle and I've started a business to help organizations connect data with business challenges. The world's changed a lot over the past 10 years, and analytical tools that were once out of reach - too expensive, too hard to use - are now accessible to a wide range of organizations. I work with the Power BI tools: SQL, Power Pivot, Analysis Services, PowerBI.com
