This course is really good to people, who don't know the power query. The training is conducted in simple language. Even a person with no experience can understand the application.

Feel like I learned a LOT. Enough that was I able to automate a spreadsheet I have been battling with for years. I am now saving at least 30 minutes every 2 weeks and removing margin for error. A little confusing trying to check my answers on an activity based on date when this training was recorded years ago. Same issue with the loading table from the website. The website has apparently changed a bit since this training was recorded. I thought the AI role play answered a lot of questions I had since there was obviously no instructor, but it just saved me a google. It was hard to tell what I was actually supposed to be doing in the roleplay.

The material was very interesting for a novice Power Query and the instructor went through the material in an easy to follow along fashion. I plan on recommending this course to other people on my team.
