There’s an Excel Power Analyst Bootcamp in our nation’s capital next month. Well not our nation’s capital, but mine. OK, it’s Washington DC. More like Alexandria, VA. Or it might be Springfield, VA. Just ask the cabbie to take you to the Sheraton in old town Alexandria. He’ll know where to go. Here’s the details

Excel Power Analyst Bootcamp Washington DC

Monday, September 19, 2011 – Tuesday, September 20, 2011
This two-day boot camp is designed for Excel Power Analysts who are looking to more effectively build and manage better data reporting mechanisms. During this workshop, you’ll be introduced to a wide array of tips and techniques that will muscle up your skills in Data Crunching, Reporting, and Automation. Going beyond simple Excel tricks, you will learn to:

• Work more efficiently with powerful data crunching and spreadsheet auditing tips
• Go beyond basic analysis with advanced PivotTables techniques
• Create powerful dashboards with interactive data modeling methods
• Integrate external data sources (SQL Server, Access, Sharepoint) into your Excel reporting
• Introduce powerful new BI capabilities with PowerPivot for Excel 2010
• Implement macro-charged reporting with VBA

So go get your Excel on. Get in a pickup game at the White House basketball court. Skip a rock in the reflecting pool. Sit on Honest Abe’s lap. Get a job as a page. Some of those suggestions may be illegal, so deface monuments at your own risk.
