Excel, Power Query, Power BI and Python in Excel courses
Now that AI can produce the work, understanding it is what stays valuable.
These courses go deep enough that you can look at what AI built, judge whether it fits, and know what to do next.

The skills that change what you’re asked to do
The five courses where members tell us the shift was biggest.
One of them automated a report their whole department depended on.
Excellent course – detailed, challenging, and uses valuable, workable examples. I’ve cut down the time to generate my monthly reports from 3-4 days to 2-3 hours. That’s an order of magnitude, I’d say.
Gustavo JaramilloSenior Economic AnalystAfter taking the course, I created a tool that allowed my company to automate our AR Aging report. If it wasn’t for this automation, we would have needed to hire an offshore full-time position just for this!
Marconi TorrezFinancial AnalystIn my job I have a lot of data submitted in Excel tables filled in manually by users. I was able to consolidate all those forms into one document with pivoted data with just one click of the button.

When the basics were never actually taught
Excel Essentials Bundle
3 courses + bonuses
Most people picked up Excel by watching someone else do it. So they end up doing things the long way, without knowing there was a shorter one. This fills in what got skipped, right through to how you present the results via pivot tables & impressive charts.

I’m using Excel often at work. Sometimes, I wasn’t using the most efficient way. Hence, I subscribed to the Black Belt package. There were a lot of AH-HA moments!
Christian FisetBusiness ArchitectThe new reports I’ve been able to produce and the speed with which these are now available each month were praised by my boss at my recent appraisal. I believe this was a big factor in the favourable outcome of our talks.
After just a few lessons, I was so convinced this was the course I needed to do that I bought the rest of the bundle.

What members say
Results our members got
I hadn’t any clue about Power Query, but now I can go through it easily. I feel that I am now able to accomplish many things after taking this course.
Mohamed MamdouhGym General ManagerI knew almost nothing about Excel when I started Excel Essentials.
Leila’s clear and concise instruction made it possible for me to learn the essentials of the program and grow in my skills with confidence.
Hillary PulseI have already automated repetitive tasks at work, and that is just the beginning.
Miroslav ViktorHead of AccountingWhether you’re a beginner or an old hand, you’ll always find new approaches and ideas in every course and every video. Thank you very much, and please keep up the excellent work!
Dierich KrogmannOwnerI was feeling generally unconfident as an older person in a new role in a data-driven technical team.
The XelPlus courses give me new knowledge, new insight, new confidence, and new data presentation skills.
Harriet DowningManagerLeila’s Power BI course is very detailed. I feel more confident and motivated to keep learning.
I am now the go-to guy in my company for Power BI, Excel, and Power Query.
Daniel BorundaBI SpecialistI learned that a few tweaks could make a huge difference in the look of your Excel chart! Taking a little extra time to upgrade your chart can make it look so much more professional.
Another great course (Business Charts) from Leila & team!
Fabiola CroesPricing AnalystThe course (Automate with Power Query) was delivered well, giving it 5 stars. Now, I will feel confident to propose the automation of some of our business processes using Power Query and Power Automate.

Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Leila Gharani, the founder of XelPlus.
I spent 14 years in corporate finance and IT before this. Messy data, demanding deadlines, reports that had to be right, fast. Then 11 years teaching these tools inside hundreds of companies.
I love Excel but can’t stand when it’s taught like you’re a robot. Around here we teach technical topics in plain English, so you can actually use them the same week.
Your Copilot cleans the data, writes the formula, and builds the whole model. It’s genuinely good at it.
So is everyone else’s.
When anyone can produce the work, producing the work isn’t what makes you valuable. Understanding it is.
That’s what these courses are for. They give you a deeper understanding of the tools and how they work. So when AI gives you an answer you understand where it came from and where to go next. Then AI isn’t competition. It’s a very fast colleague, and you’re the one directing it.
