Ken delivers the material in a very casual (yet concise - no fluff), conversational tone that makes it so easy to digest. Ken has ditched the static theory approach and explains the concepts to more reflect how we approach problem solving in the real world. And the visuals to support the explanations are just fantastic, which my brain loves.
Ken, I can't thank you enough for answering my question and for creating such an incredible course. Never in my life have I taken a course where I had the privilege of speaking directly with the developer. This experience has truly exceeded my expectations, and I’m beyond grateful for it!
Ken Puls' expertise and teaching methodology make his course on building financial statements in Excel truly exceptional. His ability to break down complex Power Pivot and DAX concepts into understandable segments demonstrates his mastery in both accounting and data analysis domains.
I loved the patient and thorough way things were explained and shown by example, and the quick responses to questions asked. Thank you for creating courses to share your knowledge with others.
Ken doesn’t just demonstrate how to turn your data into a financial statement; he gives you the theory while providing a step-by-step example. Going through the course is like reading a book you can’t put down.
I love Ken's attention to detail, but always being described within a larger context. I love how he will periodically use data that he knows will create an error, so that he can show us how he fixes it. I love Ken's self-effacing demeanor... You keep that up, Ken!!!
I liked that it was taught by a CPA with experience in all areas of the course. Many thanks for preparing the level of detail... A key benefit to me in signing up for this course was to watch Ken Puls as he assembled the financial reports while also learning insights and best practices along the way.
I am a daily Excel user for over 10 years. This course completely transformed the way I use the software. It has improved my efficiency, enabled me to solve problems that I didn’t know was possible, and opened doors for my career. Overall, I highly recommend this course. Thank you Ken Puls!
Ken Puls is a great instructor and incorporates humor to keep you engaged. The last Excel course I took was in the 90's so I was shocked as to how much of Excel I had been under using. Thank you for opening my eyes to new possibilities and ways to improve data management and productivity.
Ken has a wonderful teaching style. He’s very knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for Power Query and DAX. He dives into details yet walks through each step with very well laid out lessons and before and after files so I never felt lost.
I’ve taken several courses offered by Ken, and I continue to be impressed by his teaching style. He has a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts clearly, and his passion for the work really shines through. It makes the learning experience both enjoyable and engaging.
I loved the hands-on approach and theory combined with real examples one can try straight away. I liked all the tips and explanations behind the approaches to solve particular data challenges, and Ken's positive attitude towards the whole material. Keep up an excellent work 🙂
The instructor was clear, concise. There was always an explanation of why something was done a certain way or should be avoided. Thanks Ken for the great experience!
Ken is good at breaking things down into easy to understand steps. Clearly, shows in-depth knowledge of the subject.
The course was well-organized and easy to follow. I also liked the real-life examples—they really helped me understand the concepts better.
Ken Puls is very knowledgeable, and I like his style. Clear presentations and provides good usage wisdom with each element taught. Great course.
Ken is a great instructor and I recommend his courses where ever I go. Thanks for all the support in the community.
I loved the course because of its step-by-step learning process, which made it easy to understand and follow... Overall, I learned a lot and enjoyed the journey! Thanks for the great learning material!
Ken's Self Service BI Academy is highly structured and straight to the point. Every lesson is practical, clear, and immediately useful—perfect for busy professionals. Honestly, if this course had existed ten years ago, it would have saved me a huge amount of time and effort. It’s exactly the kind of BI training I wish I had at the start of my journey.
I really did like all the learning. There is so much that I don’t know. Taking me through step by step was great, and doing it while seeing it be done was the best.
I loved how Ken walked through the whole set up from raw data to final set of accounts. I've already recommended this to accountants in my network. Thank you!
Ken Puls is a great instructor, no pauses, no backtracking, he is smooth. It is great that Kens is an accountant and not just an IT geek. Really, really good course!
The examples provided and the clarity of the instruction given were all excellent... Ken appears to be super nice, and super helpful. A genuine teacher.
The best part was that it opened a bunch of new possibilities to me. I really, really enjoyed this course even though it was sometimes at the fringes of my understanding. I thought the content and your presentation style were both excellent. I also greatly value the continued access to the [Ask Ken Anything] sessions.
I liked the relatable content and ready-to-use solutions. Ken had a great way of demystifying complex terminology.
