No more wasting time coming up with solutions.

Does This Sound Familiar?
If you’ve experienced any of this then you are in the right place.
By going through this program, you’ll expand your toolkit so you can solve new data challenges in a fraction of the time it used to take you. Plus you’ll discover new automation options you hadn’t thought of before.
Data in the real world is messy.
Each lecture in this course is the result of a question our corporate members had. We met with them, interviewed them, we created a list of their struggles, collected tons of files and created this program.
That’s why we don’t waste time on examples with 3 rows of data. We focus on actual challenges our clients struggled with at their work. In the course there is a section called “real-world data transformation challenges solved.” In that section you’ll discover the secret sauce to these common challenges. I call it the Rubik’s-cube approach. And as our students will tell you, it’s pretty cool to see your data projects fall together at the last second.
More than Power Query…
As you know, here at XelPlus, one of our core pillars is teaching the big picture.
We want you to be able to combine different power tools together to automate an entire process.
Power Query is just ONE automation tool.
It’s a great one but there are others you might be missing out on just because you don’t know of them, or you haven’t dared explore them.
This course will shine a light on the other tools as well. You’ll get to automate what comes before and after Power Query.
This will help you become creative which is one of the keys to success in this fast-paced world.
Because Here’s The Thing…
Staying on top of the curve does not happen by accident. Nor is it about working “harder” or “hustling more.”
The secret to overcoming today’s data challenges is knowing about other automation options that are available to you.
So, next time you’re sitting in a business meeting talking about automation you’ll be able to confidently discuss different possibilities.
Get my point?
Sure, I understand. I know you’re busy.
Instead of boring you with the theory of all these automation tools, I’ll give you my unique Solution Recipes that you can apply right away: Let’s say you come across a similar case that we cover at your work. You don’t have to go and watch the entire video again. You just scroll down and grab the recipe right from underneath the video.
You’ll love how much time these recipes will save you. Trust me, once you automate the entire process, Power Query becomes far less of a time-drain.
Before you know it, you’ll find yourself looking forward to new assignments instead of dreading them.
What does it take for a doctor to become the best in their field?
Intelligence? That’s for sure.
A good work ethic? Definitely.
And also tons and tons of practice.
The top surgeons are ready for any scenario because they’ve seen it all.
And it’s the same thing regarding you and using Power Query. You’ll only master Power Query once you’ve practiced many different scenarios.
Then, you’ll be ready for anything
❌ No more dreading new assignments.
❌ No more receiving a data dump that’s a total mess and spending hours trying to clean it.
Instead, we’ll show you how to make quick work of anything.
Just like a doctor needs many cases to improve their skills, so do you.
Inside this new course, you’ll practice all sorts of Power Query scenarios, ranging from easy to challenging. Then, you’ll get a “recipe” for efficiently handling each scenario.
That way, when a new assignment hits your desk, you deploy one of these recipes. Easy peasy.
Don’t wait until the most important project of your life hits your desk with a 24-hour turnaround.
Prepare for those emergencies. Learn these Power Query recipes and be ready.
If you’re new around here, I’m Leila Gharani, founder of XelPlus.
I avoided Power Query for a long time. I had watched multiple videos and I thought,
“This is a Power Tool. I don’t work with millions of rows of data. I don’t need this.”
But then in 2018, the Microsoft Team presented some updates they’d implemented in Power Query. And I realized, I had watched the wrong videos. There was an easy side to Power Query and an advanced side. I’d jumped right in with advanced techniques. No wonder I tried to avoid it.
You see, as a Microsoft MVP, I get invited to Redmond, Washington each year for the Global MVP Summit. In between the yearly visits, we have monthly sessions where the Microsoft Excel team gives us updates on the latest features (yes, it’s pretty cool).
It was on one of these calls where I saw the easy side of Power Query in action for the first time. My initial reaction was, “Wow! That is incredible.”
I also realized my mistake. You see, at first, the name Power Query fooled me.
Judging by the name, I thought it was a tool for power users. When actually, it’s a power tool – for everyone.
Power Query is not reserved for Excel masters. Rather, it’s a powerful tool that can benefit even the Excel beginner. At the end of the day, Power Query is nothing more than a series of clicks.
After that meeting with the Microsoft team, I knew I must teach Power Query to our XelPlus audience. That’s when I started working on our online course.
Today, I’m excited to invite you to become a student in that course. It’s now helped thousands of Excel users shave hours off their workday tasks, and it can help you too.
This course is designed for busy professionals. You don’t need to go through it lecture by lecture. We’ve made it easy for you to step in, grab what you need and deploy it at your work.
