Turning Static Excel Reports into Dynamic Business Insight

Many organisations have put years into spreadsheets that support critical reporting. The problem usually isn't the data, it's getting useful answers from it quickly and consistently, without people rebuilding reports or merging files by hand every time a new question comes up.

In this practical session, a Chess ICT senior consultant demonstrates how Power BI can work alongside existing Excel files. You'll see how to connect several spreadsheets into one reporting view, let users filter and drill into the data themselves through interactive dashboards, and cut down manual reporting effort, all without changing the source spreadsheets. It also covers the limits of Excel reporting and which licences you need to create and view reports.

After the session, attendees can book a free 60-minute Power BI Discovery Session with the speaker, so expect a sales follow-up.
