  • Josep MIR I MORALES (Mar 17, 2024)

    To see that is base on Power pivot 2010 and 2013 is very disappointing, it seems outdated, even the authors are very young in the videos

  • Victor Leonel Gorra Ramos (Aug 10, 2023)

    El curso me ha parecido super, sin embargo, quisiera ver si me pueden orientar con algún correo a donde pudiera plantear mis dudas con respecto a algunos ejemplos que utilizan en los videos, como: en la sección de patrones DAX en el capitulo de jerarquias padre - hijo al momento de agregar la columna calculada LOOKUPVALUE( Padre[Node], Padre[NodelID], PATHITEM( Padre[Jerarq PadreHijo],1)) me marca un error: La función 'LOOKUPVALUE' no admite los valores de compraración de tipo Integer con valores de tipo text. Considere la posibilidad de usar la función VALUE o FORMAT para convertir uno de los valores Agradezco de antemano la atención Les envío un cordial saludo

  • Edgar Gallego (Aug 18, 2021)

    It is an easy-to-follow and useful course. So many things learned to apply in my daily activities to simplify and speed up my tasks. Great content!

  • carlos barboza (Apr 27, 2020)

    If you really want to get your hand SERIOUSLY DIRTY with Power Pivot on Excel or for Power BI....then THIS IS the course for you.

  • Morris Muthubi (Apr 14, 2020)

    This was a well-outlined class. I look forward to finishing the definitive guide. I love Marco's teaching style and I look forward to more interaction. Worth the money and time

  • Kenneth Barber (Dec 4, 2019)

    This course has aged surprisingly well. However, some parts of this course are no longer relevant. SQLBI's Mastering DAX course largely supersedes this course, and I would recommend that most people take Mastering DAX instead.

  • Thomas Rice, PMP (Aug 16, 2019)

    Great course! I am very close to taking exam 70-779! Thanks again! Highly recommended for all Excel users.

  • Marshall Joubert (Jun 17, 2019)

    Despite covering a previous version of Excel, the material was still relevant.

  • Min Thein Aung Aung (Aug 6, 2018)

    Extremely useful for my career allowing my capability in analysis of transactions which are almost impossible to processed in Excel without using Power Pivot. If the course is programmed with explanation of each formula that are introduced along the chapters in a way what is their nature, how they work or when they are useful, it would make the course more compelling!

    Wonderful workshop! Congratulations Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari
