Excel PowerPivot and Power Query

Overview:

If you work with data, you're likely already familiar with common frustrations with Microsoft Excel like size limitations and manually entering data from multiple sources.

Luckily there are two Microsoft tools- PowerPivot and PowerQuery-that solve ALL of these issues, right inside Excel. No Access to databases or IT department help is needed. With imports of 1 million-plus rows of data sets from virtually any source and the ability to save query definitions, you can completely overhaul your reporting and analysis workflow.
