Course Overview

The Microsoft PowerPivot for End Users course is designed to equip professionals with advanced data analysis and modeling skills using Excel’s powerful PowerPivot add-in. Although no current certification exam specifically targets PowerPivot alone, this training aligns closely with the retired Exam 70-779: Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Excel, which was part of the MCSA: BI Reporting certification. This course serves roles such as data analysts, business intelligence professionals, and financial analysts who need to transform large volumes of data into actionable insights. According to IT Jobs Watch, demand for PowerPivot skills remains steady, with a median UK salary of £43,500 for related positions, reflecting its continued relevance in enterprise environments.

Participants engage directly with core Microsoft tools including PowerPivot, Power Query, Excel Data Model, DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), PivotTables, and PivotCharts within the familiar Excel interface. The hands-on lab environment leverages Microsoft Excel on Windows with PowerPivot enabled, allowing students to build comprehensive data models from multiple sources such as Access databases, SQL Server, and external worksheets. A key project involves creating a complete sales analysis workbook for Contoso Electronics, where learners import heterogeneous datasets, establish table relationships, define calculated columns and KPIs, and generate interactive dashboards using slicers and PivotCharts. These exercises simulate real-world scenarios where end users must independently analyze complex business data without relying on IT support.

This training prepares learners for data-centric certifications like Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300), as PowerPivot's underlying technology integrates deeply with Power BI and modern Excel analytics workflows. With data analysts commanding competitive salaries—median earnings reaching £43,500 in the UK—and growing demand for self-service BI skills, mastering PowerPivot enhances career advancement opportunities. Koenig Solutions supports this learning journey with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Microsoft courseware, and flexible 1-on-1 training options that ensure personalized attention. Upon completion, professionals are positioned to drive data-informed decision-making across departments, paving the way for roles in advanced analytics, business intelligence, and enterprise reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the PowerPivot for End Users training course

Is the certification exam included in the PowerPivot for End Users course, and what is the exam fee if separate?
The certification exam is not included in the PowerPivot for End Users course by Microsoft and must be purchased separately. Exam 70-779: Analyzing and Visualizing Data with Microsoft Excel was retired on January 31, 2021; no current Microsoft certification directly assesses PowerPivot for End Users skills.
