Excel Power Query & Automation: Turn Hours of Manual Reporting into One Click
From 51 C$ /h
Spending hours every month cleaning the same Excel reports? Or preparing for the PL-300 (Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst) exam and not sure where to start? I teach working professionals and career changers how to use Power BI and Excel the way they're used at work, step by step and in plain language.
What you'll learn (tailored to your goal):
• Power Query: clean messy data (extra spaces, wrong data types, duplicates, text numbers) and set it up so next month is just "Refresh"
• Data modelling: star schema, relationships and a proper Date table
• DAX: measures, CALCULATE and time intelligence, explained so you understand why, not just copy formulas
• Dashboards: clear visuals, slicers, drill-down and Actual vs Target reports
• Power BI Service: publishing, refresh and sharing
• PL-300 exam practice: exam-style questions with explanations
How I teach:
I explain each idea before we click, then we build it together on a realistic dataset, and then you try it yourself. You get clear notes after each lesson. If you bring your own work file (with sensitive data removed), we can use it so you solve your real problem.
About me: Data Science Master's student and BI analyst. I built Power BI and Excel reporting for companies, and recently automated a finance team's monthly SAP report with Power Query so it now updates with one click.

About Me
Hi, I'm Abdul. I help people use Power BI and Excel the way they're actually used at work.
Most of my students are working professionals and career changers: accountants tired of copy-pasting the same report every month, analysts preparing for the PL-300 exam, and people moving into a data analyst role. Many of them feel stuck because tutorials show the clicks but never explain why. That's what I focus on.
My lessons follow a simple rhythm: I explain the idea in plain language, we build it together on a realistic dataset, and then you do it yourself while I guide you. I check that you understand the reasoning, not just the steps, because that's what makes it stick at work and in the exam. After each lesson you get clear notes and key terms to review.
I'm patient and I enjoy questions. No question is too basic. If you bring your own work file (with sensitive data removed), we can solve your real problem together.
I especially like working with motivated adults who have a clear goal: passing PL-300, automating a report, or getting job-ready as a data analyst.
