Power BI - Data Cleaning and Transformation: From Raw and Poor to Report-Ready
Instructor:
Mike Thomas
Product ID: 706962
- Duration: 60 Min
Description:
It's a known fact that raw data loaded into Power BI is hardly ever "report-ready" and requires "cleaning" to make it usable.
Unnecessary rows and columns need to be removed, data that isn't required needs to be filtered out, dates are never in the right format and often aren't even dates, columns require splitting or merging, "weird" characters must be removed. These are just a few examples of what is meant by data cleaning.

- How to create simple solutions to quickly clean and restructure less-than ideal data
