SUMMARY: Surgent's Excel for Accountants: Using Excel to Cleanse and Prepare Data
DESCRIPTION: Do you ever import data into Excel\, and then spend a bunch of time manually preparing it for use? Perhaps you delete extra columns or rows. Maybe you need to split a single column into multiple columns\, or\, combine multiple columns into a single column. The good news is that many of these transformations can be fully automated with Excel!

The Get & Transform tools built-in to Excel 2016 for Windows\, formerly available as the Power Query add-in\, are incredibly powerful. At a high level\, they enable us to retrieve data from a variety of sources and prepare it for use as needed. In this session\, we'll use Get & Transform queries to help with several common tasks\, including flattening data\, splitting and combining columns\, formatting data\, unpivoting summarized data\, and combining several csv exports.

If you frequently export/import data from one system to another\, you will want to understand how to use a Get & Transform query to streamline your work.
