From Reports to Implementation and Data-Driven Business Decisions with PQ
Details
⚠️ Please note that this session will take place at an earlier time than usual because our speaker is presenting from the other side of the world compared to Toronto.
SESSION DETAILS
Most finance teams spend days every month just consolidating data and finishing reports. What if that could take minutes? In this session, Aditya Kumar Darak will demonstrate how Power Query and Excel can simplify the entire consolidation process, giving you back the time you didn't know you were losing.
But saving time is only the beginning. What do you do with it? Aditya will show how that freed-up time lets you dig deeper into the data, identify real business problems, and move from just presenting numbers to becoming a strategic advisor.
But is presenting problems to the business enough? Or can we do something more? You will find out in the session.
What you will take away from this session:
- Power Query for real-world data consolidation across multiple sources
- Using Excel dynamic arrays for faster analysis
- How to move from reactive reporting to strategic advisory
- A practical framework for turning analysis into business decisions
- And something more...
