Frequently Asked Questions

Should I learn Excel or Power BI first?

Start with Modern/advanced Excel if you're not already proficient. Excel remains the foundation for financial analysis. Once comfortable with Excel, add Power BI for visualization and big data handling.

How long does it take to become proficient in Power BI?

With dedicated study (5-10 hours/week), you can become proficient in as little as 2-3 months. Rishi's cohort program accelerates this to 4 weeks with intensive, focused training.

Is Power BI replacing Excel in FP&A?

No, they're complementary tools. Excel excels at modeling and ad-hoc analysis, while Power BI is superior for dashboards and large datasets. Master both for maximum value.
