Excel & Power Query Foundations for Biopharma (Cleaner, Faster Reporting) with Dataworks

Many pharma and biopharma roles rely on complex Excel reports that can become error-prone, difficult to update, and overly dependent on a few key people. Power Query helps address this by replacing fragile formulas and manual steps with clear, repeatable data transformation—while keeping the work within the familiar Excel environment.

This foundation course equips participants with practical Power Query skills to build robust, maintainable reporting pipelines in Excel (and optionally reuse the same approach in Power BI).

The course follows a common core syllabus with role-based exercises. Everyone learns the same essential Power Query concepts, while working with datasets and tasks tailored to relevant biopharma examples.

Two online follow-up coaching sessions are included to support you as you apply Power Query to your first real report and overcome common blockers.

NIBRT is partnering with Dataworks to deliver this course. Dataworks brings extensive experience improving reporting and data processes in regulated environments and will share practical techniques to make your Excel reporting more reliable and scalable.

The course can be delivered with a specific role focus (e.g., QC, QA, Supply Chain & Planning) and can be customised for in-company delivery on request. Open courses use a general biopharma context unless otherwise specified.
