Modern Excel with Chris Webb

If you have a long memory you'll recall that 8 years ago Microsoft BI was all about Power Pivot and Power BI in Excel. Power BI is the big thing nowadays but Excel's BI features have recently had a makeover - and in this session we'll see just how much BI you can do with the Excel you already own, without paying for Power BI or any other BI tool. As well as seeing what's new in Power Pivot and Power BI you'll see how Office Scripts can be used to automate tasks and Data Types can bring in external data.

Chris Webb is a member of the Power BI Customer Advisory Team at Microsoft. He has over 20 years of experience using Microsoft BI tools, has written several books and blogs about Microsoft BI at https://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/
