The graphics used in this presentation were not clear enough to see what the instructor was trying to demonstrate, or they were too small to read any of the text. The narration was very hard to follow along with and there were many missteps that had to be corrected. It was very difficult to continue to pay attention or get anything of value out of this course.

Unreadable, unstructed and chaotic Course!
Seem to be that the Publisher never have reviewed his Video: Low Video Quality that you cannot read anything and double records (in creating tables and Import into PowerPivot). As Beginner you cannot follow his steps. After the Import step - he Shows the final results but did not Show exactly the way to it.

• The course provides a good insights on how to use PowerPivot and PowerView for making interactive dashboards and management reports
• However, I think that the course should also cover the PowerView report in bit detail. As it is the ultimate outcome of the whole exercise.

I wish I could have gotten more out of this course as the topic is certainly an important one if you plan to create models from many data sources. Perhaps clearer slides (they were hard to read) and a more energetic pace would have helped.

First, am not sold on the merits of PowerPivot over traditional pivot tables and related charts. I'm sure there's value (like large data sets) - but this didn't really delve into that. Video could have been edited better.

I've wanted to get started using the Power Tools that Excel has added over the last few generations of Excel. This lesson has provided a good starting point. Just in depth enough to provide value. But not too much to follow.

I work with this stuff all the time. I would like to see more courses on this subject, such as pulling data from databases. I like doing so with a few data sources and editing the SQL is pretty easy in Powerpivot.

Poor screen quality was definitely a distraction even on large monitors. It was good to see what the end game was -- would have been better at the beginning rather than in the middle of the presentation.

Wow!!! I didn't know this existed. Even though much of this is over my head at this point, I now know the upper boundaries of where I can go with Excel on BI, analysis and reporting.

Obsolete and should no longer be an active course. PowerView has been replaced by Power BI. Power query is necessary to do the day to clean up before you load it into Power Pivot.

I had never heard of Microsoft PowerPivot & PowerView before taking this course. I look forward to trying out the topics covered in the class using my company's data.
Thought was a great intro, simplified by not detailing period or date table structures. Would. Have like to touch on the other ways to get data into the power pivot.

Very nice - I like the course and the image of the flat file...as it is probably similar to what a lot of people are seeing.

Good introduction. I would like some of the things that were shown in Excel and Powerpivot to be in the slides as well.

Power View has apparently changed by MSFT to focus on Microsoft BI...may want to update this course?
