Use a two-variable data table to see how different values of two variables in one formula will change the results of that formula. For example, you can use a two-variable data table to see how different combinations of interest rates and loan terms will affect a monthly mortgage payment.
A Scenario is a set of values that Excel saves and can substitute automatically on your worksheet. You can create and save different groups of values as scenarios and then switch between these scenarios to view the different results.
Three kinds of What-If Analysis tools come with Excel: Scenarios, Goal Seek, and Data Tables. Scenarios and Data tables take sets of input values and determine possible results. A Data Table works with only one or two variables, but it can accept many different values for those variables.
Use Power Query's Query Editor to import data from a local Excel file that contains product information, and from an OData feed that contains product order information. You perform transformation and aggregation steps, and combine data from both sources to produce a Total Sales per Product and Year report.
You can create a relationship between two tables of data, based on matching data in each table. Then you can create Power View sheets and build PivotTables and other reports with fields from each table, even when the tables are from different sources.
A Data Model allows you to integrate data from multiple tables, effectively building a relational data source inside an Excel workbook. Within Excel, Data Models are used transparently, providing tabular data used in PivotTables and PivotCharts.
Grouping data in a PivotTable can help you show a subset of data to analyze. For example, you may want to group an unwieldy list date and time fields in the PivotTable into quarters and months.
A relationship is a connection between two tables of data, based on one column in each. A workbook can store each piece of data in a single place, but display it in multiple places, by storing data into multiple tables with relationships between them.
Create a PivotTable with multiple tables. Here are the three basic steps to get multiple tables into the PivotTable Field List: Import from a relational database, like Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or Access. You can import multiple tables at the same time: Connect to an Oracle database.
Structured references make it easier to use formulas with Excel tables by replacing cell references, such as C2:C7, with predefined names for the items in a table.
Formulas in Power Pivot work only with tables and columns, not with individual cells, range references, or arrays. Formulas can use relationships to get values from related tables. The values that are retrieved are always related to the current row value.
