Power Query

With the Power Query, you can easily transform the original source of data to another data structure needed for reports, on a new worksheet. Original data source stays unchanged. 

Using query you can automate and optimize work in Excel. You can reduce the number of data entries per user, as different data with the same meaning can be named with the same name.  Otherwise, the user would have to enter data in the table individually.

Example:

-Split yearly amount to monthly amount with an automated procedure that divides the total amount per individual month: enter e.g. annual amount in planning, and by query divide it into twelve equal amounts by months. Without query, the user would have to enter the monthly amount twelve times.

-Recalculate depreciation for investments, connect them to the code list with accounts

You can use the acquired knowledge in many other use cases.
